신체성에 기초한 현대 공간디자인의 플랫폼 전략 - 'A Japanese Constellation' 전시 작품을 중심으로 -

Abstract

The Since the 19th century, Western philosophy has emphasized sensuous corporeality. In the late modern age, the meaning of corporeality has changed; the new concept is that one gains vitality through ontological change. Design has been influenced by this concept as well. As corporeality is considered variable, design has been pursuing variability rather than relying on the rational principle. This study aims to reveal that corporeality has appeared in contemporary spatial design in the form of platform strategy and to define relationship-centered thinking that acknowledges such variability as corporeality. The study proceeded by first examining the contemporary concept of corporeality, distinct from the classic concept, and it was suggested that the dynamics of modern space can be understood through the concept of corporeal design. Next, platform strategy was examined as a method of implementing corporeality. If corporeality were a conceptual interpretation of a space, the platform would be a specific way to configure the space. The spatial platform strategies was used to examine the platform business model: (1) open structure for the user, (2) weakened identity of the space, (3) expansion of opportunities for users’ engagement, and (4) weakened boundaries among spatial functions. Drawing on the platform business model, the eight entries of "A Japanese Constellation" at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) were analyzed based on the above aspects. The analysis revealed that contemporary spatial design adopts platform strategy as a way of forming a continuous relationship with the user as he or she is influenced by other users, households, cities, and landscapes. In addition, it has been seen that spaces have their basis in corporeality in the light of ecosystems, enabling "mutual coexistence" with the constantly evolving vitality inside the structure.
