The purpose of this research is to analyze the influence and legacy of Le Corbusier, who has been neglected in the past discourse of landscape architecture, on the formation of modernism in landscape architecture. The research examined the relationship between Le Corbusier's ideas and practices and modern landscape architecture in three parts. The first part analyzed chronologically the relationship between architecture and landscape in Le Corbusier's theories and practices. The evaluations and criticisms of Le Corbusier's landscape practices were also examined. The second part analyzed the relationship between Le Corbusier and European Modernism in landscape architecture and his influence on European modern landscape architects focusing on Vera, Lurcat, and Canneel-Claes. The third part looked into Le Corbusier's influence on American and British modern landscape architects including Tunnard, Chruch, Rose, Eckbo, and Kiley. The result of the research showed Le Corbusier's works and theories heavily influenced important landscape architects in Europe and America, who played key roles in forming Modernism in landscape architecture. Rather than introducing Le Corbusier's Modernism theory into the discourse of landscape architecture without questioning, modern landscape architects accepted his theory and practice of Modernism selectively with praise as well as criticism. Canneel-Claes, Turnnad, and Eckbo were the pioneers who tried to establish the basis of Modernism in landscape architecture by positively accepting Le Corubiser's thoughts on Modernism; whereas, Steel and Rose criticized Le Corubiser's attitude on landscape architecture. Church and Kiely were indirectly influenced by Le Corbusier in forming their Modernism style.

This study is intended to identify various reasons on the 'body' of women described in the paintings by Le Corbusier. As a great artist in the field of modern architecture, various figures of 'body' of women he painted were not a mere physiological body of a woman but a meaningful figure combined with many different types of concept in the social and cultural context. In the field of art, body is recently seen as a 'tool for thinking' that studies dealing with it are being actively conducted. Seen in this context, it is feasible to read the situations and causes at that time through movement and changes in the figure of women's bodies described in his painting. Even if it was a speculative inference, this study aimed examining what reasons and perspective Le Corbusier had when painting women's bodies and what message he intended to convey. Reasons on the 'bodies' of women derived in this study serve as an essence of mentality in understanding the spatial design that was constructed around the time of period. Adopting a different view from many of previous studies in the aspect of skills and spaces, it was intended to study changes in the complex and integrated causes in both spatial design and painting and re-interpret an essence of mentality of the spatial design in the humanistic approach according to the notions in society and culture.

Raymond, who adopted Le Corbusier's Errazuris House Project, built Karuizawa Villa by incorporating Japan's aspiration for Western modern architecture and strong convictions regarding the preservation of traditional culture heritage, which were prevalent in Japan at the time. Despite the controversy over his plagiarism, Karuizawa Villa shows several unique architectural characteristics. First, in terms of the arrangement and access system, the villa has a common space that affords a view of the lake by accessing from the mountain side. Second, in terms of spatial composition, the common space is connected to the mesonnette by placing a trail to enable enjoyment of natural scenery. In particular, personal space is planned in the shape of a cross by connecting several surfaces to the outside in order to secure enjoyment of the natural environment. Lastly, in the aspect of structure and materials, both architectural buildings adopted masonry by using natural stone as well as building materials suitable for each region and climate by using logs in constructing the main columns and beams. Through Karuizawa Villa, Raymond is considered to have established his own style by combining the standard of Western modern architecture and the elements of Japanese traditional architecture while valuing local architectural technology.

Purpose: This paper is an attempt to explicate the principle of space and form-making in Le Corbusier's architecture from the viewpoint of integrating and relating architecture with the natural landscape. It shows thereby how the geometrical element of architecture and the non-geometrical element of the nature coexist in terms of form. It also explains how space is deployed for the construction of cognitive system between natural landscape and architectural scenery in terms of space, hoping to make a contribution to design method of contemporary house as an elementary datum. Method: Three issues are studied, focusing on the designs around nineteenth thirties in the earliest phase of Le Corbusier: How architectural form and nature is related, how natural greens is introduced into urbanism, and how natural landscape is introduced to house design. 1) it is studied how the relation between the nature and the formal elements of purism in Le Corbusier's architecture is formed. 2) it is studied how the relation between the nature and architecture proposed in Le Corbusier's urbanism is formed. 3) Le Corbusier's "four compositions" is analyzed in terms of relation-formation between architectural space and the nature. 4) it is studied how the natural landscape is introduced to Le Corbusier's house-design in the form of architectural promenade. Result: It has been found out that the natural landscape in Le Corbusier's architecture is not just a simple background, but a necessary element for the consummation of form and space in his architecture, and that architectural inspiration is maximized with coexistence with nature.

The purpose of this paper is to study the meaning of Rem Koolhaas's works focused on Villa Dall'Ava. This House which offers a fine example of the early architectural concepts of Rem Koolhaas was completed in 1991, 7 year earlier than the Maison Bordeaux and also this work is the only one house constructed in Paris. Rem Koolhaas, one of the most influential architects representing contemporary architecture in these days is interpreted so diversely as new constructivism, deconstruction and new scientism etc. The relationship between Modernism architecture and the architecture of Rem Koolhaas is supposed in various point of view in recent studies. Although the leading background on which the architectural inclination of Rem Koolhaas is de-constructivism, various interviews, editorials and other perspectives give clue that Rem Koolhaas was influenced by Modernism. His architectural concept is connected with the architectural principles of Le Corbusier: 'Five Points of a New Architecture' and 'Dom-ino system', which are especially applied a lot to Villa Dall'Ava in the modified form. This study is to research the architectural characteristics of Villa Dall'Ava by analyzing the layout, plan, elevation, section and structure, which revealed the architectural connectivity between the concept of Rem Koolhaas and the architectural principles of Le Corbusier which had a great effects on architectural history and became a fundamental elements for the change into the modern architecture. In practice, the architectural work of Rem Koolhaas remind the architectural principles of Le Corbusier. This research appraises each points of 'Five Points of a New Architecture' in regarding with Villa Dall'Ava whose study will be important to find the meaning of the works and ideas of Rem Koolhaas.

In this study, Le Corbusier's ideas were investigated from the view point of modern dualism. Le Corbusier, pioneer of modern architecture, insisted a rationalistic architecture for the industrial period, considering a house as 'machine for living'. In the other way, he tried to arouse emotions through architecture, mentioning a house as 'machine for affecting'. In his writings and paintings, he divided the world in the two opposed things (ex: human and nature, reason and sensation, chaos and order, orthogonal and libre curve, man and woman, sun and moon, lightness and darkness, bull and woman, and etc), and tried to combined the these two divided things. In architecture, he amalgamated his white buildings with the green vegetation, which is styled in the harmony of contrast(nature and articial). In urbanism, Le Corbusier did not divide nature only into three material elements for living(sunlight, air, green space), but also pursued poetic and aesthetic nature through buildings under the rays of sun and among the vegetation. Le Corbusier's dualistic ideas are based on Descartes's modern dualism, which divided the world into the material and the spiritual and into the objective and the subjective. Due to this original division, modern dualism contains the limits of extreme subjectification on human signification and of separation from the world and nature. Le Corbusier pursued the combination of the two divided things to overcome the contradiction of dualism, but his ideas and works contain the limits of the modern dualism.

Le Corbusier is an architect known for his use of mostly white color during the Purism period. On the other hand, he actually utilized polychromy in his works while the principles behind his use of polychromy is not well defined. Through the analysis of the Pessac project, where he deliberately utilized polychromy in the exterior of housing, this study examined not only the principles behind his utilization of colors, but also the fact that this project was a laboratory to set up his architectural language and develop the method of how to employ polychromy. An analysis of this project found that he changed spaces and categorized objects using polychromy based on the white color. He also chose and used colors based on the psychophysiological experience that is related to emotions and habits. To compensate for the problems arising from the architectural space and form in the site, he used various techniques, such as camouflage, optical illusion, 'gift box' technique, and dismantlement method of volume. Therefore, polychromy is used as a method to emphasize his architectural language.

1974년 10월 '월간 건축사'에 글이 하나 실렸다. 건축 작품이 정치사회적 논쟁의 중심에 섰던 최초이자 마지막이 아니었던가 싶은 김수근의 <부여 박물관>에 대한 일본풍 논쟁이었다. 논쟁의 발단은 한참 선배인 김중업의 언급에서 시작됐다. 한국 현대 건축의 시작점에서 프랭크 로이드 라이트를 일본을 거쳐 배운 김수근과 유럽의 르 코르뷔지에 말년 3년을 같이 한 김중업의 논쟁이었다. 일본풍은 <왜색>이라는 자극적 표현 때문에, 독립된 지 얼마 안 된 우리 정서로는 매우 민감한 부분이었고 사회적으로 파란이 일었다. 여러 사람들이 논쟁에 가담했었는데, 이런 논쟁이 단 몇 차례로 끝나고 이어지지 않은 것은 우리 건축계를 위해선 안타까운 일이었다. 600호 특집을 준비하다 발견한 <월간 건축사 1974년 10월호> 글은 놀라웠다. 그리고 1974년의 통렬한 비판이 아니라 지금까지도 언급할 가치가 있는 내용이었다. 자그마치 45년 전 건축계 전체에 대한 발전을 촉구하는 글에서 지금을 생각하게 됐다. 특히 두 '귀화인'이라는 표현에서 여전히 자기 정체성을 확보하지 못한 대한민국 건축계에 울리는 소리가 크다. 여전히 직수입된 사고와 생각을 유행매체에 마케팅하는 전략이 먹히는 풍토에서 이 글은 반성의 시간을 가지게 만든다. 피터 춤토르가 스위스 산속에서 혼자 뚝딱거리면서 조용히 건축을 하고, 중국에서 왕 슈는 폐자재로 수공예하는 건축을 하다 세계에 존재감을 알리게 되고, 알렉한드로 아라베나는 빈민주택으로 사회적 정체성을 알렸다. 해외대학 이력이 국내 대학보다 활동하기 좋은 대한민국 건축계는 반성의 시간을 가져야 할 것 같았다. 과연 45년 전 보다 선명해 졌는가? 원문을 거의 그대로 옮긴다. 다만 한자 표현이나 이해 어려운 문장은 다소 변환했다. 천천히 음미하면서 읽어보시길${\ldots}$ 1974년 10월 두 귀화인의 논쟁에 대한 학문적 비판글.
