The subject on presentation technique is the class which helps to develop the capability of sensual and creative acts to the students who major in interior design. It helps to understand plasticity and space through the theory of the light and the object, and to develop the capability which realizes one's idea to the actual and visual formations. It also enable the students to explain their designs to the customers by studying the technique which transfers 2D diagram to 3D presentation. Because of these objectives of the class, the departments which major in interior design in Korea consider the class on presentation technique as one of the mun subjects in basic curriculum. However, most of the textbooks related to the presentation technique published in Korea are in the lack of original characteristics for the field of domestic interior design since they refer to or employ the contents of architectural field by directly translating foreign articles. In addition, most of the classes on the presentation technique are taught not by professors but by lecturers so that the class objectives may be varied by their standards for the class. Therefore, it is not easy for each department to set up the one's own characteristics in the field of presentation technique. This study is to analyze the problems in the subjects of presentation technique by investigating the current situations for the subjects on presentation technique in domestic colleges and by surveying the personnels engaged in the field of domestic interior design. Also, the study has the objective to propose the development plan of educational program for the presentation technique in order to enable the student to effectively work in real business.

Today the globalization has already penetrated into the education field. It accelerates the exchange and the sharing of the education systems over the world. In that situation, the education systems of USA or Japan were often introduced into our country, while those of Europe haven't been well introduced, less in the field of interior design education systems of Italy. Furthermore, it is necessary to examine objectively the present situations, because the education systems are usually easy to change according to the times. This research is wholly directed by my own experiences such as teaching and studying at Milan, Italy for the past four years. Also the research was continuously done with the data gathering after returning to my country. The detailed situations and characteristics of Politecnico di Milano would be compared to those of other interior design schools at Milan, Italy. I hope it will be an useful data for not only the professors and instructors but also the students who want to study in Italy.

In the present architectural culture of Korea, the expression of Korean values and the contemporary trends of global architectures are not identified and arranged distinctly, so diverse tendencies are applied to the architectures of Korea recklessly. In this situation, minimal architecture is significant, which pursues the essence of architecture through the minimal materials. This thesis analyzes the characteristics of minimal architecture seeking after the essence of architecture by minimalization and examines Seung, Hyosang's architectures showing expressional traits similar to those of minimal architecture in the modem architectures of Korea, so this study can show the expressional characteristics and materials of minimal architecture. Nevertheless, it does not mean that all the Seung, Hyosang's works have the tendency of minimal architecture and that he has to be classified as a minimal architect, but it means only that the values and thoughts like the expressional traits of minimal architecture are seen in his architectural opinions! and works, which will be the subject of this study.

Architect Daniel Libeskind made peculiar works with ‘Jewish Museum’ in Berlin as a momentum in 1989. The concern was concentrated after Libeskind was selected ultimately to the designer of ‘Design for the World Trade Center site’ in February 2003. Especially his works which have been recently accomplished are not the deconstructivism were recognized as unreal drawings and simple studies but they are professing his own peculiar architectural thought. However meanwhile researches about Libeskind have been processed in an architect viewpoint of a deconstructivism tendency, lack of researches to be more various point of view. This study fundamentally is sharing the source with Libeskind's basic idea, as a deconstructivism architect, but not to understand essential concept of decorstructivism which has the philosophy grasps of essence of an object, reconstrues contradiction that the human is simple to prescribe by the language and tries to express in new architectural formative volition. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to grasp of Libeskind's own architectural thought of the essence, consider background becomes the foundation of the architectural thought and peculiarity of the architectural representation.

One of the prominent phenomena since 1960's is the diversity of concepts. It is to deny the standard of meta structure in judging value as a framework of truth understanding. M. Foucault says that we are living in a synchronous, parallel, and scattered epoch. In the architectural approach and interpretation of Ungers, such a phenomenon appears as multi-dimensional relations. The works of Ungers show the concrete manifestation of such thoughts since 1960's. He has exerted significant influence on German architecture through his book ‘Architecture as Theme’ and architectural works. His architecture has focuses on analogy and abstraction on the foundation of his well defined theory. As the features, it shows dialectic relations, mix of confrontation, interests in geometry and morphology. In this respects, the paper tries to find out the relationship between his architectural thoughts and the paintings of Rene Magritte in terms of the attributes of doubleness in the sense of a paradox. Ungers himself refers that he was directly influenced by Magritte.

This study has importance of that it verifies applicability of a new interpretation of surrealism to spatial design. Transcendental cognitive form of idealism, concept of time and space are premise of reality and surreality is finally condensed to the matter of time and space. Surrealistic techniques are automatic description, double association, montage and etc, and all of them are trials to approach to essence of images expressing unconsciousness through spatiotemporal changes of object. The purpose of this study is to find the surrealistic methods that can be applied to spatial design.

This study examined the current interior conditions of children's rooms, and investigated the children's satisfaction of the rooms and their needs for improvement. Survey questionnaires were given to 205 elementary school children in the third or lower year grades and to their parents. Frequency analysis, t-tests, analysis of variance, and Duncan tests were mainly employed for data analysis. The findings indicated that the respondents' satisfaction of the children's rooms differed in their grade, room size, and the main color of the rooms. In general, those in the third grade, those in the rooms under 16.5$m^2$, or mainly painted in cold colors, tended to respond more negatively. Meanwhile, they expected to exchange their furniture for study, such as desks and bookshelves, and to individually possess electric appliances in their rooms. Most children's rooms were designed on the basis of the parents' preferences: The more the rooms reflected the children's opinions, the higher satisfaction with the furniture they showed.

The purpose of this study was to analyze spatial composition of elderly skilled nursing facility and to provide basic information for setting up the detail facility architectural guidelines. The results of the study were following: the residential spaces of the facilities in this study were more or less overcrowded since their capacity were more than 5 elderly residents. The dimensions of some residential spaces did not even come up to the standard of elderly welfare law in force. On the other hand, the facilities had a tendency to use a space with multiple purposes or to allocate a space but to leave it with no use. Moreover comparing with the 1st floor, which was mainly for the staffs and had enough space to spare, the upper floor which was for the elderly residents, was crowded with nursing staffs and elderly residents and had densely closed residential and public spaces. For the problem solving, law and regulation modification is needed according to the case study about the usage and using frequency of each facility space. And the crowded area for the elderly residents could be enlarged through the reduction(or combination) of the rarely used spaces and moving a few residential spaces into the 1st floor.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the interior color characteristics of elderly housing facilities in U. S. A. For this purpose, a field survey was conducted between July 23 and July 31, 2003, visiting 10 elderly housing facilities in Contra Costa County, California. A three step analysis of the facilities involved. First, floor, walls, ceilings, base boards and doors in common spaces were examined for the color scheme using the "Pantone for Fashion and Home Color Guide" for each room. Measured Pantone numbers were converted to RGB color using "Chooser 3.0 of Pantone, Inc." Finally, the conversions were recorded as Munsell numbers. The results are as follows: First, the colors chosen for American elderly housing are high value and low chromatic colors. In many facilities, analogue colors such as BG, B, BP and Y, YR R, RP are used. Second, the colors of ceiling and wall are mainly very bright and low chromatic colors. The colors of floor are undertaking an Important role by generating major atmosphere in the America elderly housing. Third, the colors used for elderly housing are found inter-related. For example, the main color in the lobby is also used from corridor to stair and used again from lounge to dinning room as a secondary color. Fourth, it is found that accent colors are used at the beginning and end of stair and corridor outskirts in consideration of physical condition of elderly people. Fifth, there is no difference in color selection between elderly housing with low and high rental value. Preferably, more versatile colors are being chosen for elderly housing with the low rental value.he low rental value.

The purpose of this study is to analyze spatial configuration of the unit floor plan characteristics of the apartments built in Seoul Metropolitan area by using the Space Syntax methodology and finally to test the relationship between space in the unit floor plans. So the unit floor plans are analyzed using sector graphs from justified graph and computer programs based on the Space Syntax model and compared by size. The results are as follows; The sector graphs are summarized in 14 types. The total depth of spaces is not in proportion to the plan area. And the global and local integration and intelligibility are inversely proportional to the area. But in the case of largest areas(265$m^2$ and above), the integration and intelligibility increase.
