Abstract
Modern architecture and design show experiments that practice exchange and convergence with other genres through expansive thinking. This study aims to propose the use of graphic skins as a means of dematerializing and invisiblizing expressions of architecture. The method of realizing 'invisible architecture' can be largely divided into methods that use materials that manipulate light and graphic approaches based on trickery techniques. The exterior wall graphic of the special stage in Seoul Plaza can be said to be an attempt of dematerialization to make the building structure light and transparent, and a case to propose the role of super graphics to maintain the identity of the original place by erasing disharmonious elements from the field of view. It is expected that the graphic skin will be used as a powerful means of expression in the era of 'invisible architecture' as an effective camouflage method and media beyond the means of decorating the exterior walls of the completed facilities.
