[BE4] Realization of Architectural Ideas for Public Value in Sustainable Way
- Sejin Lee (ar-ge)
Description
In principle, architecture is public. But at the same time it is private in terms of motivation, assets and approaches. This business is industrial but also academic, since architecture forms people's lives and this life is more demanding than a simple cottage.
The academia and industry of architecture are closely linked historically. When there were needs for people's activities, architects have found the solution. After the industrial revolution, building culture was established with principle. The great architect Ernst May was a leading predecessor who expanded the architectural field with science. At the beginning of the 20th century, Olympic Games took place in Germany. The Nazi government wanted to show their industrial success to the rest of the world by building impossible architecture using concrete and steel structures with constructional revolution in academia. The architect used the German Autobahn, which was also being built at the time, to transport prefabricated components to the construction site. It has greatly reduced construction time.
Now the architects have to expand their field. Architecture is not isolated, but connected with a social, ecological context. War, energy crisis and global warming happened unexpectedly (or slowly unconsciously), but we must confront them now. In all industrial fields, architecture has the largest area on earth. Therefore, architecture is the most influential industry and should be carefully established and reviewed by academia.
Sustainable architecture is understood to mean various subjects such as landscape, energy and recycling. Landscape includes not only green areas, but also all outdoor areas planned in an ecological way for human activities. Energy is actually a separate area, but devices and equipment for energy must be well integrated into architecture and saved when used. Recycling is one of the most important issues of the time in terms of reducing CO2 emissions. Buildings don't last forever, so the materials have to be dismantled and reused at some point. Also, systematical approach to produce architectural drawings, such as schematic planing and execution planing, has been established in industry thanks to development of BIM, which was previously researched and presented by academia about their efficiency and feasibility.
In this section, various topics related to architecture are presented with an exchange between academia and practice. The order of the presentations will be planned as dialogue between both areas. Experts from academia in various subjects will be invited to present contemporary issues such as ecology, energy and urbanism and translate them into architectural perspectives. Architects will then present the use of theory in practice and in industry, for instance urban residential project with ecological concepts or new construction methods with recycled concrete.
In addition, I wish this section as an exchange opportunity not only between academia and practice, but also among experts in European countries and Korea. As we saw in the Russo-Ukraine war, every domestic problem impacts globally. Idea exchange will take place in this section, how we as architects and architecture experts can position ourselves in this new world and broaden our horizons.
With the adoption of the National Document on Authenticity at the 1994 National Conference, a definition of "authenticity" was codified as a requirement to be inscribed on the World Heritage List. But even before authenticity was defined for these judgments, it was a concept that had long been embedded in Western architecture.
Authenticity is deeply linked to materiality in Western...
The presentation explains the method of “Maquette Figure” (Figure Model) and “organigramme” (Organization Chart), with two architecture projects in master’s program in ENSA Paris-Belleville. “Maquette Figure” serves as a device that defines the sense of a project, which represents the relationship with the context and the spatial configuration. It’s structured by orthogonal planes, then planes...
Urban Design According to Artistic Principles (Der Städtebau nach seinen Kün-stlerischen Grundsätzen) is a book by the Austrian-born architect, urban planner and theorist Camillo Sitte (1843-1903), subtitled “Architecture and Monuments with a Specific Relation to Vienna”. This is a dissertation aimed at resolving the contemporary questions of sculpture. It is a masterpiece of urban design...
Play is a natural and essential activity for human development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them. Playgrounds are spaces where children can engage in different types of play and experience different play elements. Playfulness is the quality of play that makes play fun, enjoyable, and meaningful. The purpose of this study is to propose a method for...
