Abstract

In today's architecture, various types of spatial composition are being attempted to overcome the limitations of uniform form and fixed functions of architecture. This concept of architecture has become possible to interpret places, structures, and materials in various ways. The characteristics of the architectural space of Herzog & de Meuron include harmony while contrasting with the surrounding environment and the inflow of surrounding contexts. The creativity of their architecture builds and repeats the scenery and materials of the surrounding environment, transforming familiar things into new ones, creating a landscape different from the existing urban landscape. In other words, new materials and shapes that seem familiar are designed through familiar shapes and materials considering the surrounding context. There are architectural concepts such as night and day parallax concepts of their designs, visual experiences of overlapping familiar forms of gable roofs, closing and opening spaces by connecting them, and differences in space are recognized by changes in external spaces. Vitra House designed a unique type of architecture that repeatedly stacks gable volumes where mass composition embodies their own architectural space by repeating the same form, repeated space differences, space connections, and arrangement of connected spaces. As a research method, diversity, overlap and juxtaposition, uncertain space, space dynamics, and space boundaries were derived through a theoretical review of spatial characteristics appearing in Vitra House against the backdrop of Deleuze's rhizome philosophy. Through the derived elements, theories, concepts, and spatial analysis, the meaning of 'rhysomal space composition by difference and repetition, connection and arrangement' was presented and set as the framework of this analysis. This study examined and analyzed the characteristics of the architectural work of the Vitra House designed by Herzog & de Meuron by expanding the composition method of space by repetition, difference and the event by connection method.
