On Tactile Sense and Depth in Sapce - focused on Herzog & De Meuron's Architecture -

Contradiction plays a very important role in the Herzog & De Meuron's architecture. They have been well known through the tactile sense of the material and the surface. But the material is not clearly conveyed a sense. Herzog & De Meuron 's architectural features is that sense has somewhere distortion. Their architectures are more special because it will appear distorted, rather than clearly shown in the feel of the surface. Rafael Moneo has regarded Herzog & De Meuron's architectures' characteristics as the tectonic. He has insisted the characteristics of the architecture which they made is not use of the material surface, use of the material tectonic. In particular, Moneo has pointed out that they replace the role of architectural form as the characteristics of the material. And he is understand their architecture's importance lay on the exclusion of any image in architecture to be able to see architecture itself. But Moneo's perspective is focused only on the initial work of them. So it is need to be extended from the tectonic to the superposition of surface and depth. In other words, tectonic is kind of result of the superposition of surface and depth. This paper insist that the superposition of these contradictions of material senses could be switched to the tectonic in architecture, and the expression of the sensation is based on the transition of tactile to visual senses. Through this, the paper could more clearly reveal their architectures' characteristics.
