Since the time of Vitruvius, the sciences have impacted on the perspectives for architecture and have had a direct influence on the shaping of built space. In recent years, architects have been looking again at sciences as a source of inspiration in the production of their designs and constructions. There are various ways to look at architecture's relationship to science. It is interesting to see how many of the words of day-to-day architectural speech have been drawn from science, the abundant use of references such as topology, fractals, chaos theory, and so on. The reasons for this may be obvious, insofar as science has become the dominant discourse of our times. The numerous attempts have been made to constitute architectural practice so as to bring it into line with the methods of science. But Alberto Perez-Gomez juxtaposed architectural theory and Husserl's. The Crisis of European Science. In Husserl's 'Crisis', it is modern science itself that is laid open question. Through examining its changing relationships to architectural ideas this paper is intended to describe the problematic relationship between science and architecture, in other words, architecture's as science.

The problem of defining the relationship between interior space and exterior envelope of a building has long been a challenging task in the field of architecture throughout its history. This research chronologically reviews some of the important turning points in various schools of thoughts concerning construction of exterior envelope, with focus on how they influenced and altered the formation of our interior environment. This research also stipulates on how technological advance in the late 20th century laid grounds for a new type of interior-exterior relations in architecture through creation of flexible and ambiguous boundary conditions. The focus of this qualitative research will be on contemporary works of Japanese architects Toyo Ito, SANAA, and related group of architects who address the issues of transparency, flexible interior layout, buffer zones, structural facade, and neutralized (homogeneous) space that produces spatial quality of non-linear, non-hierarchical, and de-materialized space as a direct alternative to modern principles of space making.

Although Frank Lloyd Wright represents himself as one of the greatest American master architect, the master architects contribution towards the advancement in the modern history of architecture goes beyond just creating landmark buildings. Through out his life, he was the leading architect not only in the area or architectural design but showed his talent in interior architecture, furniture, fabric, lighting fixture, art glasses, tablewares, silver wares as well as in graphic design which should cover all the elements related to the "total design" in architecture. As seen in his architectural design, the "total design" concept also reflects both beauty and logic of the nature and strengthens his theory of the organic architecture design. The research began with finding out the relationship between his architecture, nature and the supporting design elements mentioned above. the purpose of the research is to analyze the relationship of the spatial organization and the design elements in Frank Lloyd Wrights architectural works from the point of "total design" view and provide the valuable guide line for the development of the modern interior design. His design theory, based on the fundamental ideas of the nature, his organic architecture design, and reference materials to support total design concept will be discussed on chapter 2. And on chapter 3, application of the total design in his actual project will be analyzed. The data and analyzation have been completed based on written references and actual visit to the project sites. Frank Lloyd Wright placed highest value on the human beings and enjoyed presenting new ideas and forms to create better environment for the humans through his architecture and interior design projects. While he was presenting new ideas he continued to support design for democracy which has close relationship to the new frontier spirit of America. He was the master architect for the general society with accurate understanding of the life style of the public with design sensitivity shown in his concept of the total design.s concept of the total design.

With the continued integration through scientification and the progress I the technology of construction around the world Korea's inability to stay within the mainstream of the movement has put it in danger of losing it's very identity. As such Korean cityscapes are filled with overwhelming prevalence of buildings and constructs void of national identity but rather reflective of unconditional application of the western standards of architecture which has so far been the compass of the movement. Accordingly the purpose of this research is the understanding of the current world view concerning of architecture the critical regionalism through the examination of the background of theory which reflect the architectural Kenneth Prampton and also through Ricardo Legorrata Charles Correa Antoine Predock's analysis. Furthermore this research hopes to explore and offer a methodology through which a unique Korean identity can be established in Korea's Modern architecture.

Since 1990s, several rising western architects have been moving their theoretical background from the modern paradigm to new science and philosophy. Architectural spaces are based on the philosophy and science of their own age and the architectural theories made by them. And specially, it seems that topological spaces are different to theoretical backgrounds from idealized spaces of modern architecture. From these backgrounds, this study was performed to search for the spacial relationship and characteristics shown in the recently folding architecture and the results of this study that starts this purpose are as follows. First, the architecture that introduced by the theory of topology has appeared as the circulation forms like as Mobius band or Klein bottle, and was made the space fused with structure pursuing liquid properties of matter. As follows, second, the concept of topological space made the division of traditional concept of floor, wall, ceiling disappeared and had built up the space by continual transformation. Third, about the relationship between two spaces in topological space, the two spaces were happened by transformation of these and they have always continuity and the same quality.

Berlin Philharmonic Concert Hall is one of most prominent architecture of Hans Scharoun, which is known as the fine combination of the functionalism as an important factor in modern architecture and the hi-developed technology Moreover, the plan and spatial planning of the concert hall is famous for its evolutionary approach compared to other traditional concert halls. The objective of this paper is to examine forms and organic system of functions of this concert hall in order to re-evaluate it's historical meanings in our modern architecture history, The current study will also look into how the personal background of Hans Scharoun has influenced his design in various ways, especially the inside of lobby and auditorium of Berlin Philharmonic Concert Hall.

The ideas of cyberspace and bio-mechanic hybrid architecture which has been made in conjunction with the electro-mechanic environment and human body as an organic body are newly illuminated in the main stream of contemporary architecture. This study aims at the analysis of the expression of the image of cyborg as a hybrid of an organic body and machine after modern era and its methods of application to arthitectural design. The results are as following: Cyborg is a hybrid of human and machine that is made according to the principle of cybernetics, and is a kind of bachelor machine in the late 20th century. The cyborg images in modern architecture were expressed as prosthetic object-machine, organic image, pataphysical machine. The cyborg images in contemporary architecture are expressed as auto-control function, organic machine, cyberspace.

Modern society changes so fast that it makes the borderlines obscure among all the elements in physical environments as well as culture and economy through rapid flows of Network or new media. Also these flows of changes appears and collides everywhere at the same time, which continuously generates heterogeneous environmental factors. For this reason, architecture is required to correspond with circumstances of the day, but it doesn't keep up with the speed of social changes actually because it features physically fixed construction. This research offers new direction and possibilities of architecture space elements using pluralistic and do-centering attributes of hypertext as a counterplan, and finds out how architecture space should correspond with the moving environment of modern society.

Recent days, transition to ecological thought is being accelerating by environmental impact with a sustainable development. This symptom is no exception in architecture area. So is vernacular design affecting on modern architecture in many ways in terms of economical aspect and eco-friendly environment as well. Natural energy like solar power, environment, and terrestrial heat that applied in vernacular architecture is also widely accepted in name of 'sustainable energy' of which a design applied with ventilation and airing of natural wind is very useful & pragmatic in terms of economical reason. Accordingly, this study examined a relation between vernacular architecture and natural wind and compared it with traditional type and its feature of ventilation & airing. Ventilation & airing applied in the past can be divided into three categories: methods by convection, natural element, and architectural type. All these methods gave some pleasant felling indoors when there were no artificial energies. Even in modern age, such a ventilation & airing is being used with traditional type in different variety of materials, and it will be developed with modern technology without any extra cost in terms of sustainable expansion, and opened for further researches.

The purpose of this study is to explore the revealing corporality in Mies' architecture. The character of such technical materials refuses or weakens the physical reality of the wall by the thoughts concerning the unlimited space or continuous space in Modern architecture. The wall or facade revealed visually is substituted to substance without materiality or just disappeared. This causes a problem of perception of architectural form itself in Modern architecture. Leonardo suggested that all kinds of human perception happens within the visibility and touchability. Likewise, the corporality as a visual reality can be perceived as an important and fundamental value, which can measure the real being. In this respect, This study reviews his architectural meaning by tracing the visual reality in his works. Namely, the emphasis of architectural elements through the relief effect, the expression of massiveness through the reflection of the glass wall and the emphasis of the color through the contrast are interpreted in the intention of Mies to emphasize the visual corporality of the building. This study is to reevaluate the meaning of Mies's architecture through understanding of his thought about the architectural corporality, which has been forgotten by the transparency concept of Modern architecture.
