This study concentrates on a new idea that is formulated as a creative space recognition in contemporary architecture and painting. It is stimulated from Deleuze's philosophy, which is expressed with the philosophical instrument, "Non-Representation". After discussing the concept of non-representation used in Deleuze's philosophy, case example in contemporary architecture are analysed to comparatively Investigate the relationship between the architectures by Rem Koolhaas and painting by Francis Bacon. Therefore, he founds expressions of "diagram" and "movement" in painting of F. Bacon. Diagram meansit is a power that is comprised of various points of wiew with the kind experiences that one has in life. Movement that were extracted form the Instrument in space recognition of Deleuze's panting theory were of topology, insertion of geometry, reiteration of layers, transparency and translucency, reflection effect.

Avante-garde arts which are still being continued until now has become not only just a forefather of art, but also the tradition of modern arts which are still being held on. Rem Koolhaas is growing his reputation as an architect like Le Corbuster. Space image and related documents analysis and characteristic interior image analysis rather than whole concept or the structure analysis, which first, making a analysis tool from derived characteristics from theoretical guidance of avante-garde and then by deriving characteristics of avante-garde arts from space consists of Rem Koolhaas, was able to identify that in his work consists contained characteristics of avante-garde arts

This study aims to analyze the projects of Rem Koolhaas and Kazuyo Sejima in terms of program organization and spatialization methods. Diagrammatic methods are frequently used in their design process and are articulated in the graphical presentations in many publications to explain their projects. Even though diagrammatic methods can be used in diverse ways, Koolhaas and Sejima tend to use them to systematically organize the given programs in their specific ways. Furthermore this organization generate spatialization process in which the final building form is flexibly derived from the process itself. After the detailed studies for each architectsquot concepts, design process, and several unique characteristics that have vital roles to construct their ideas into real building were found. This research has a couple of steps to critically analyze the spatialization process: Conceptual Background, Circulation Organization, Structural Method and Furniture. After the examination based on these elements, similarity and difference between two architects are discussed in the conclusion. Ultimately it has been found that there are unique design development processes in each architectquots projects even though they tend to apply somewhat similar program-based spatialization process. It has originated not only from the each architectquots personal view of architecture, but also from the cultural backgrounds. It is hoped that this sort of comparative study would generate more diverse discussions in program-based design process as well as clear application of any related methods.

The purposes of this study were to compare Louis I. Kahn and Rem Koolhaas, both of whom established their architectural theories and granted rationality to them by applying the theory of psychoanalysis, and examine common and different characteristics in the inner space composition of a building between them. The study also set out to confirm a basic premise based on which to develop a metaphysical design concept by applying the theory of psychoanalysis in the inner space composition of contemporary architecture in future from the more developed and integrated perspective of modern psychoanalysis. As a result, Kahn sought after a metaphysical design concept through the combinations of inner unit spaces including servant and served space, which are comparable to the confrontation between consciousness and unconsciousness from the perspective of psychoanalysis. Unlike him, Koolhaas applied the concept of folding to his architectural plans based on the theory of post-structuralism and created a metaphysical design concept by more focusing on connections between unit spaces rather than their combinations. While Kahn worked on his designs with much interest in the combinations of inner unit spaces in horizontal circulation by separating it from vertical circulation, Koolhaas created a new design concept beyond the limitations of Kahn, who had a confronting, dichotomous view of the world between the phenomenal world and the metaphysical world, by making use of inclined slabs to connect upper slabs with lower ones. The findings show that there can be various metaphysical design concepts depending on how to connect and combine two confronting concepts when applying the theory of psychoanalysis to architectural design.

This study is focused on the concept and spatial organization of bifurcation. After discussing the concept of bifurcation used in Borges' literature and Deleuze's Fold philosophy, case examples in contemporary architecture are analysed to comparatively investigate the relationship between the concept and space. In Deleuze's philosophy, bifurcation as well as pleats, inflection are used to form the world of fold that goes to infinity while, in Borges' literature, the structure of bifurcation is the key method to create the labyrinth of time. There are various projects in contemporary architecture based on the Deleuzian concept of bifurcation. Rem Koolhaas's Two Libraries for Jussieu University and UN Studio's Arnhem Central are selected and researched for further comparison study. In Jussieu project, the bifurcating spatial organization is 'intentionally' used to construct the indeterminant space whereas in Arnhem Central, bifurcation can be found in both the ever-bifurcating design process as well as the final spatial organization'unintentionally'generated from the process. This study is concluded with the comparative analysis between the representation and actualization of a concept that are crucially different.

There has been preconceived assumption that, in good architecture, exterior and interior have to be harmoniously related to each other. However, in contemporary architecture, it is easy to witness that this harmonious relationship between exterior and intoner is severely challenged and various exterior surfaces have multi-faceted roles. Rem Koolhaas explained this sort of new situation in the light of 'lobotomy' that is a surgical method for mental disorders, based on the high-rise buildings in the early Manhattan. This study is started with the Rem Koolhaas' lobotomy concept and how this concept is applied to his projects. The multiple roles of exterior surface can be also found in many contemporary architects' projects. Among them, Jacques Herzog & Pierre do Neuron and Toyo Ito's recent projects are discussed to further analyze the new roles of surface and compared with Rem Koolhaas' case. Although the architects discussed present very limited scope of what is happening on the surface of comtemporary architecture, it is hoped to disclose some examples of new relationship between exterior and interior.

The purposes of this research are to correctly understand the relationship between a visual communication structure and a semantic communication structure when integrating and changing various architectural visual information. This study will classify various diagrams, which have been actively applied to the works of Rem Koolhaas and MVRDV when designing architecture, and based on the classification, it will analyze how the expression viewpoints inherent in the diagrams are changed and applied to processing and changing architectural visual information. The transformal usage of the visual information of architectural diagrams is classified into an analysis-centered processing method and a concept-centered processing method, and the characteristics of their usage are analyzed. The former shows an observer-centered expression viewpoint which effectively delivers an architect's analyzed architectural information or intent to a customer or an observer. It also allows an easy perception of the analyzed data, and uses qualitative expression viewpoints. The method combines systematic expression viewpoints, which value a relationship with visual information, and various architectural visual information; uses the combined expression viewpoints as one diagram for delivering various information simultaneously and for changing visual information. The latter shows author-centered subjective expression viewpoints, which are different from reproduction-centered fixed expression viewpoints. This method uses arbitrary expression viewpoints that overly extort, change or manipulate visual information. It shows simultaneous expression viewpoints that integrate various architectural visual information via omniscient expression viewpoints, such as reversing or projecting the points of viewing subjects, which human beings cannot perceive.

The purpose of this study is to present possibility about applying space design of urban theory focused on collective memory. Urban which is the final data of human's collective life has been recognized creative circumstances human collective is living. It can not think without collective from its motivation to problem of form as well as building as element which compose these cities. It is to recognize essential attribute of construction in the collective that think architecture with urban, and It means that recognize actuality of architecture that can talk as the most collective product that represent human. There was discussion for collective and urban. But, this problem was proceeded to clear human knowledge of architecture mainly in other discipline, and even if speak as field of architecture, it could just pass confined meaning by refering at process that clear several main aspects of architecture as doing not pass over more than it. Problem of form that is ultimate aspect of architecture remained by different thing still doing not combine with collective architecture, and occasionally happened the case that make collective of architecture and relation of form overly incommodiously reducing form by a tool for diagram, shape, figuration in the aspect of collective. This research study concept for memory collective in the urban and collective of architecture, and choose urban planning methodology and their work by specific example between Aldo Rosi and Rem Koolhaas dealing with architecture and urban, and present possibility about space design of urban.
