알베르토 캄포 바에자 건축에 나타나는 텍토닉, 스테레오토믹의 상호보완적 공간적 특성에 관한 연구

Abstract

The aim of this study is in identifying the unique spatial characteristics in Alberto Campo Baeza’s residential projects (Olnick Spanu House, De Blas House, Guerrero House, and DBJC House) which exemplifies his use of tectonics and stereotomics. Since the beginning Alberto Campo Baeza’s working life as an architect, his design philosophy has been in the ‘essence’ of architecture, mainly referring to light and gravity. The terms tectonics and stereotomics match with light and gravity in an architectural interpretation, where through the tectonic method one can create a ‘light’ space and structure and through the stereotomic method, one can extend the presence of gravity by piling up of ‘heavyweight’ elements. The study will start with a research into the definitions of ‘stereotomics’ and ‘tectonics’ by four writers of modern architecture, Francesco Cacciatore, Robin Evans, Kenneth Frampton, and C. Norberg-Schulz. Based on the key concepts extracted, the four residential projects will be analyzed in terms of the characteristics of stereotomics and tectonics. The categories are divided into the spatial composition and the light phenomenon. By analyzing Baeza’s recurring theme of stereotomics and tectonics in his residential projects, the importance of the use of the fundamentals and the complementary spatial characteristics will be heightened. The study will conclude that the categories set out by Baeza are clear and useful tools for the understanding of design as well as application in architectural design.
