안도 타다오 종교공간에서 정체성 표현특성 연구

Abstract

Contemporary religious spaces also have a problem, ‘loss of space identity’, like the other spaceswith numerous different purposes. This research aims to investigate what methods an architectused to express identity of each religious space for designs of the religious spaces with differentroots and doctrines and what the differences of the result are. The research objects were Church andTemple of Tadao Ando’s religious structures, who is the world-famous architect. Research resultsare as follows: First, the light in the chapel gave an image of the Cross symbolizing a space forworship, and the effect of light changed the cold and quiet space by concrete into the soft textureand made the space holy and reverent; and the light in the temple filled the interior space with acolor to be used as a means to change the whole space emotionally. Second, water in the chapelhighlighted a religious meaning to express religious solemnity and peace by making people seethrough the front window; and in the temple, water was used as an element to make people haveextreme experience and feel wholeness by putting the space under water. Third, the chapel wasexpressed by unifying the restrained symbolic elements as one in the achromatic-colored space;and the space of the temple was made splendidly and abundantly by various symbolic elements inthe red space. To convey the meaning of a space according to its characteristic, Tadao Ando usedthe same component of space as a different meaning in another space with a different religiousidentity.
