Manifesto 01l 48

Manifesto: Interior Architecture School of Architecture, Hongik Univ.

Architecture is closely linked to human endeavors and human emotions. It is the framework for everyday living. To that end, the current architectural world has increasingly been relying on “objects” and “artifacts” as means of expression and creation. Often times, the glorification and obsession of “objects” has imposed alienating and irrational environment upon urban inhabit-ants. This trend is both dangerous and presumptuous. It further alienates architecture from the public, into realms of pure expressions, toward social irrelevance.

Philosophically, there’s a need to re-look at the build environment from the starting point of human beings. A new way of thinking, radiating outward from a human being and his activities and corporal reality, into the surrounding world, is necessary. This way of looking equates an inside to outside mentality, where the interiority of an environment is the starting and driving force.

Culturally, Eastern space has always been more in-ward looking than outward expressing. Courtyards, gardens, screens, etc…are all traditional features of architecture that achieve this. Asian architecture has emphasis on the space enclosed by structure, rather than the “object” expression of the structure itself. To this end, traditional Asian culture has not made a clear distinction between architecture and interior architecture: because they are one and the same for our ancestor. By looking at space in a similar fashion, from within to without, we are continuing a long tradition of spatial consciousness, without patronizing imitation of what is old.

Technologically, many of the latest inventions are quite microscopic compared to the size of a building. From computers, to energy saving devices to communication tools, many of the latest technology takes on the scale of human beings instead of city blocks. A good number of these technologies have not been taken advantage of from a building stand point. By thinking from inside outside, which could also mean thinking from small to large, we open up possibili-ties to incorporate these latest inventions, and improve the relationship between technology and the build environment.

Urbanistacally, To think from small to large achieves a tremendous impact on our metropolis. Instead of thinking of creating more new “objects” to be inserted into the fabric of the city, smaller environments could be create, each more flexible and responsive to changing needs. In our modern cities, the speed of change has far surpassed the speed of building. Thinking from inside out and small to large could achieve a degree of flexibility that matches this speed of changing reality.

Sustainability, It is increasingly unrealistic to impose a large amount of construction on modern cities. It is far more responsible to change incrementally and at a small scale. To this end, interior architecture hold the promise to re-shape space and usage without the energy consuming cycle of demolition and re-construction of entire cities.

Materiality, In our environment today, which is dictated by media, simulation and representa-tion, it is crucial to retain the physicality of our reality. An awareness and attention to materials and their relationship to inhabitants are indispensable to any successful and humane environ-ments. Materiality also is intrinsically related to beauty, ergonomics, technology, fabrication rationale, cost efficiency and the essential perception of space.

Interiority in Architecture is not a sub-division of architecture, nor is it an after effect to be applied. Rather, it is a new way of looking at architecture, at our cities, at our culture, at new technology, at our dwindling resources.

Interior Architecture is not just another major; it is a revolution to save and re-imagine our world.

"The last reserved part of songdo"

Songdo is a city on the cutting edge. When it comes to breaking new ground, Songdo has led the

way. As a result it is not too much to say that we can see the history of korean development though

Songdo. It has function of international business, research, and industry. However, the other side

of the city shows the human-centered development which has destructed the naturak features of

Songdo. Yet the site, the last undeveloped area in Songdo, needs to be the space when modern

technology and natural features coexist.

One of natural features of the west sea is the ebb and flow of the tide. And those natural features

and characteristics should be considered when we reconstruct the technology-intensive city into

space for change and coexistence.

About Our Department 22 l 48

2 3 4


This class explores a transient realm of design-temporary architecture. Temporary architecture with its

subgroups exhibition design, stage design and trade fair design can be considered as one of the most

interesting and challenging tasks for interior designers. Temporary architecture can be defined as melting

point of art and architecture, with the only difference that the live span of temporary design is fixed and it

will therefore never be matter of historic preservation.

The trip to US was very meaningful to me last summer. I have lived in Europe for six years from age of 13 and

I have looked around a lot of European countries, but the America was the first time to visit. It wasn’t long

trip, so I had to make the circulation as much as I can handle for only seven days, because I had to move three

cities, which is Chicago, New York, and Ann Arbor.

The first city that I have visited was the Chicago. Chicago is known for the skyscraper architectures. It was late

August, but it was quite cold. The wind intensity is very strong because of the sky scrappers. The skyscraper

architectures seemed much taller than in Korea. Because all those buildings are vertically located towards

the sky, I felt as if I am in the middle of the forest of tall trees. The interesting part of the Chicago was the color

of the Chicago River. The river is flowing across the downtown of the Chicago to Michigan Lake. The color of

the river was different from the real water color. The river color is a clear bluish green. But the reason why is

because every last day of the year, people pour some kinds of dyestuffs in the river. Even it is the dyed color;

the water color gives a great effect to the view of the Chicago city.

Two days later, our family moved to the New York. Our hotel was located in the New Jersey, but it took only

30 minutes to get Manhattan. I anticipated the Manhattan life through the Hollywood movies and the

dramas. But, Manhattan was too busy and over-condensed. The traffic was terrible, and an exorbitant

population was moving around. It was much serious than the Myung Dong in Seoul. I could visit the

Manhattan for only two days. So at the first day, I just look around the Manhattan city and ate great dinner at

the New Jersey, where I can enjoy the night view of the Manhattan. In the second day, all the museums and

gallery schedules were set.

At first, I went to the Guggenheim Museum. The curvy surface of the Guggenheim was rougher than I

thought. Some area of the Guggenheim was under reconstruction so I couldn’t enjoy the whole circulation

of the museum. Metropolitan Museum was huge, and I was very exhausted. MoMA was a meaningful fruit in

that day. Famous pieces were interesting, but the most attracting exhibition was the young artist’s

experimental pieces. The most remarkable art was the spatial performing art, which is marking the height

of the audiences on the four walls in a empty space. There weren’t many people in the space, but with the

lines and the letters on the wall, I felt like the room is full, may be it’s because of the numerous lines and

letters written on the wall.

After compact schedule in New York City, our family moved to the final destination, Ann Arbor, Michigan. The

fundamental reason why we visit US was because of my brother’s matriculation to Michigan University, Ann

Arbor. Ann Arbor was very quiet and campus centered small city. Lots of trees and much lower architecture

skyline was there. It was perfect place to rest and to study for the student in University. All the peculiar

architectures were the university buildings. The nature and the artificial architectures were suitably making

the harmony in the city.

The impression of the last city, Ann Arbor was too strong, so that it makes me to strongly hope to study

abroad, especially in US. After seven days of trip in US, I, then, understood why people are excited about US,

and why they want to live in US. I’m looking forward to visit USA with much comfortable schedule to look

around other cities and places later.
