김개천의 종교 공간에 나타난 기호학적 특성 연구 -그레마스 기호사변형을 중심으로-

Abstract

The semiotic approach to space design makes it possible to infer information surrounding user recognition phenomena and interpret semantics by analyzing the symbolic system the design creates. This study is a semantic interpretation of the semiologic perspective taken by church and temple designer Kim-Kaichun, who expresses modernity by reinterpretation of existing architecture. It is analyzed from 3 different view points regarding generative trajectories of signification in the field of semiotics. First, Temple spcace is incorporated with natural elements into the temple space by re-imagining the layout of traditional temples in a modern way. This combination will cause the temple to evolve as time goes by. The church space creates a message of 'traditionality' with its concise form of architecture and the cross-shaped sun shine coming in through the open window instead of relying on high spires and posh stained glasses. Second, the temple space built to be in harmony with nature mainly produces an open layout integrated with nature by opening or removing wall of building. by adopting an open layout, the temple space is built in harmony with nature. Churches have usually been constructed in urban areas. For the purposes of holy and pious positional territoriality, church fences emanate a strong symbolic message of "closed." Third, it creates the meaning 'naturalness' in the temple space by making connections between the inside and outside of the building. The natural light coming through the window's simple shape expresses the sanctity of the church space. The light metaphorically represents God entering the space from on high. The space expressed own meaning by designer emanate new value of users by analyzing potential meaning and generative trajectory of signification of buildings.
