High Tech Design manner is a design concept that had been constantly discussed in constitution process of the West art history and modem ideology and had been experimented in industry, having started from futurism and structuralism in the early 20th century through Kinetic Art & Technology Art and up to now. High Tech Design had a great influence also on Post Modernism and more important is that this manner of design will be existing continually in the future too. From the modem times when machine civilization started, the artist and designers expressed a utopia will showing the future world with help of High Tech Design and modem people are realizing technology images as a utopia, in the space and material presented by this high tech design. And this utopia imply the images of dynamic power, speed making a voyage in universe, dream of future, hope, mass production, earth's environment, wealth etc. High Tech furniture was lightly designed by using thin steel wire, structure stressing the metallic characteristic and tempered glass, and it was used for presenting a convenient interior space visually, and with that it can make a unified sense in High Tech interior space, and a contrary effect compared with minimal space. High Tech Design equipped with glass and metal materials looking inappropriate for our interior space due to their sharp and cold image has been regularly used as living furniture, not only decoration function, and then there must be reasons for that. This study intends to research how High Tech Design has been changed and developed in the design history & West art history from the early 20th century, and to present it's value of development as data orienting, namely a direction for the industry of the next-generation and furniture design.

Now that 15 years have passed since its introduction to 4 year college in Korea and we have 51 majors in the field of Intoner design established at 47 universities as of 2003, we are in the position to seek the improvement of its educational qualify. With a view to provide data for the setup of proper educational purpose, it has classified their divisions(departments) according to their major names and belonged colleges of the universities and considered their geographical distributions, groupings of curriculum, their framing and features of a standard curriculum. 1)Divisions of the universities where the major of interior design belongs are divided into three categories of design division (design 8t arts, arts), home economics division (home economics, natural science) and architectural division. For the development of the major, universities to which circumstances permit are recommended to establish an independent college of interior design following the . cases in the US. 2) Geographical preponderance of interior design major on Seoul and Gyeongsang Province is desired to be improved. 3) Curriculum of interior design, which is classified into introduction, history of interior design, theory of interior design, design of interior space, digital technology, design elements of inner space, technology of interior design, behavior of environmental psychology, design management and other subjects, was made into a table by divisions. To sum up, curriculum of interior design concentrates on basic design theory throughout all divisions. In connection with the selection of division by high school-graduates or their parents, design division is recommended for those who desire to major in design elements and design management, home economics division for those who desire to major in space design and behavior of environmental psychology and architectural division for those who desire to major in Interior space design, interior design technology and regulations. 4) This research can contribute to the settlement of desirable curriculum for the interior design education, thus upgrading the education level of the major in Korea.

Geographically Korea is located near the Southeast Asia and her volume of trade with countries in this region is just next those with America and japav. It is also true, however, that we do not have enough data for the region even though there have been increasing investments and travels from Korea to countries in the region in recent years. Especially, the same is true of the design it may be safely said that we have been indifferent. The purpose of this study is to suggest new design translation ways to find new markets in the Southeast Asian counties, probably away to break off with the so- called IMF era competing with those countries ranging from the Design Powers of European countries, america, and Japan to those countries that have long held markets in the region -Hongkong, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, and Singapore. Seemingly, markets in the Asian countries would be good means for us to complete our policy of the internationalization or globalizatiov. As the region has more various races, cultures, customs, and historical backgrounds than any other countries or regions in the world, not only general political and economical situations based on each one's history and culture are reviewed but also construction markets in the Southeast countries, one of barometers for modernization, examined with a view to suggesting means to develop interior design manpower to be more competitive than the counterpart of the advanced counties. The 21st century will be of design culture without fail. Through our design history is relatively short, we have and proud of the five - millennium long history which is just individual source of the creativeness and aesthetics to lead the design field in the world with god competitiveness.

In the 1900s, the cultural crossing of East and West was realized through the acceptance and reproduction of culture. Cultural change in the Orient was the result of attempts to harmonize the West's images, which they chose in their respective countries, with their own culture. However, research on design history until now has been centered on the West, and East was regarded as a beneficiary of civilization inherited from Western's. From the point of view of Western design history as a main trend, the unique characteristics of Korean design culture are not revealed. Therefore, through this studies, we want to distinguish Korea's modern design, which has been recognized as a minority. For the study, through the wallpaper, which is one of the detailed components of the interior space in modern times, we try to analyze the socio - cultural historical factors and design characteristics influencing the formation of the interior space in modern times. Summarizing a result of research. The early modern wallpaper of England mainly uses plants as motifs. But In Korea, animal patterns and letter patterns were used. The reason why European wallpaper was mainly a plant at the time was that the structure of the motif was useful for the process of creation. However, in the case of the Korean wallpaper pattern, the theme was selected according to the meaning of the motif, and it was abstracted appropriately for the 2D design. As a result, many geometric shapes were formed. In addition, European wallpaper pattern is more complex and organic than Korean wallpaper pattern. Therefore, the boundary of the central pattern as the basic unit is unclear and the patterns are connected. The pattern development method is not a simple repetition but a combination of symmetry and repetition. In Korea, on the other hand, the boundaries of unit patterns are clear and patterns are developed by simple repetition. There are many diamond-type repeating patterns in particular.

This paper compares presentation methods which are characteristic among museums of natural history in Korea. The different medium for exhibitions are divided into Specimen, Model or Panel Type Displays, Video Presentations, Sound, and Tactile Exhibits, and further classified as Fixed (A Type), Observable (B Type), or Performance Art (C Type) Displays. The museums we studied were the Seodaemun Museum of Natural History, Ewha Womans University Museum of Natural History, Seoul National Science Museum, Gyeryongsan Natural History Museum, the National Science Museum, Mokpo Natural History Museum, and the JejuDo Folklore and Natural History Museum. A study of these museums' approaches to display composition, and exhibition methods according to their exhibit types and contents, revealed the following results: The museums of natural history rely more on Fixed type displays to show information, with appropriate uses of the Observable and the Performance Art type exhibitions. Better utilization of appropriate medium is desired for display contents of Astronomy Space Earth, Minerals Rocks Geology, Animals, Plants, Insects, Prehistoric Organisms Environment, and Anthropology.

Recently with increasing interest in the natural science history education, a lot of natural science museums have been developed in various locations. This project is located in one of the biggest Paleozoic site, Taebak Kangwon-do. This kind museum has had important rolls in terms of education for student, destination for traveling and reservation of important holdover of the old ages. To do those kind of parts, this project has been designed with concepts and themes like; i. being organized with story telling structure with theme "secret of life and earth from Taebak" ii. combining experiences between outdoor experimental search for the real fossils and indoor educational interactions with real size model and moving films. iii. designing with strong identities of Paleozoic era. For the design identities the outer appearance was designed with motive of trilbites in an abstract way and inside was finished with exposed concrete and various size of moving films projected to walls and floor to emphasize real scale experience of the old ages.

The purpose of this study is to analysis the influence in furniture and interior design of pop design. Pop design is a trend which was in fashion for a short time between 1950s and 1960s. It is an experimental transient form in a flow of postmodernism. Through such a trend, we can analogize an idea and values of people speaking for a rapid change of society and culture chat that time. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to examine what environment of society and culture and what idea had an effect on people at that time. Also, the study will examine how the above had an effect on interior design and furniture design. Considering the above results, the study will examine an influence and meaning of pop design in design history. According to the result of analysis, characteristic of pop design is anti-modern, expendability, future mood.

Apparently light does exist even if it does not have certain form that an object might have. The history of architecture can be told as the history of light. As various master architects as well as scholars mentioned, light has been recognized as one of the most important aspects in perceiving space. Although there are complex multi dimensions in body sense and perception, experiencing space through light is preliminary formed by the outline to the degree of brightness. Light gives space specific and unique character by limiting or enlarging the space by wrapping an object or by reflection of material surfaces or by the intensity of light itself. It is fundamentally important to recognize the essential relationship between light and perception of space through various medias such as material, form, movement and so on. Three types of space perception and cognition by light that have been categorized after studying the most significant writings on light become the core method to further analyze the selected case projects. In this research, we will study how interior space is expressed through different light conditions with above mentioned characteristics and how such expressions can be applicable to the design of interior space.

Technological development are now encouraging new concepts in various fields of design, including material applications. Metal can be considered as the major material that represents modern design and technology since the industrial revolution. The objective of this study was to understand characteristics of metal as design material and various application methods in interior design. This study first examined basic qualities of metal and its history used in architectural design. Secondly, based on three qualities of metal such as physical, chemical, and mechanical the authors have analyzed projects built within recent 10 years regarding aspects of metal qualities, treatments. As results projects that uses a combination of two or more qualities and treatment seem to have a more interesting affects in interior space. Moreover, each affects are related to these four design keyword: visual distortion, de-materialization, hi-technology, and time-concept. The framework developed is hopes to be used as a basic design guideline, where metal is considered not just as a mere interior finish material but as a major creative source and inspiration in interior design.

The purpose of this study was to examine the tendency of 272 theses which published in the Korean institute of interior design journal from 1992.4 to 1999.6. The major finding were summarized as follows; 1) The subjects of the these in the journal were mostly related to design solution or design theory. Therefore, more theses for design history or human behavior are needed for the future. 2) The purposes of the these in the journal were classified into two groups, first; grasp and investigation of the phenomenon in the design or design related theory, second; suggestion of problem solving ideas in the design or design related study. There were 6 categories in each group and the diversified research purpose in the theses is very desirable trend for the future development in interior design studies or industry. 3) The research methods of the theses in the journal were literature research, experimental research, survey research and design research. The data collection methods in the KIID journal is similar to the that of field, natural science or social science.
