This study investigates the characteristic traits of architectural design of Toyo Ito, who has been acclaimed as one of the most famous present-day Japanese architects. Ito' architecture is generally known as media architecture for its specific natures such as lightness, dematerialization, extensive use of shiny glass, etc. In this respect, Ito's architecture is a radical departure from the tradition of the architectural modernism mostly represented by Le Corbusier. In this study, the architectural world of Toyo Ito is divided into four main section: the conversation between architecture and nature, the architecture of the wind, simulation, and virtual reality, Each of these categories is given full investigation together with appropriate architectural model fit into them.

The essence of Chinese landscape architecture is realization of a space that embraces nature and human integrating the openness and encloseness. The concept of landscape architecture that artificially furnishes natural elegance into urban areas coincides with the spiritual basis of Chinese literati-painting which subjectifies the scenery of objective world and entrusts personal feelings on that. In other words, the ultimate ideal of Chinese landscape architecture is embodying the Utopia of confucian intellectual in a city. This paper has tried to shed a light on inter-relationship of literati-painting theory and Chinese landscape architecture theory through comparing them. It is the identical spiritual basis they shared harmoniously that made landscape architecture, poetry and painting possible to meet.

Architecture and music have reflected many changes occurring in a greater cultural realm. Specially, the concept of time and space formed from relativistic physics becomes the basis of cultural awareness, and a method to understand the world. Therefore, this study aims to suggest the possibility to integrate architecture and music, based on the close relationship between architecture and music of the 20th century focusing on time and space. Resultantly, in this study, interrelationship between architecture and music is elucidated by proving both the spatiality of music and the temporality of architecture, and such possibility to integrate the two realms helps understand the reality.

Architecture is the result of reflecting paradigm. As the paradigms and architectures are changing, architect between them are not free by no means. As changes occur continuously, it is important to acknowledge the flows of change and to do some roles in that flows. Toyo Ito is one of the architects who confront the contemporary situations, find the problem and struggle to containing it in his architectural world. He tries to accept and reorganize the phenomenon that appears today's society. Contemporary architecture is showing many aspects on the ground of ecological paradigm. Therefore fresh architectural methods are being quested. This study point at one aspect of Toyo Ito's architectural feature - eco-friendly- which have domiant influences on his architecture philosophy. This notion also has important role on Toyo Ito's past and present activities.

As eco-friendly and sustainable architecture is becoming more popular, the interest in Korean traditional wooden buildings (Hanok) has also been increasing. The building technologies of the wooden construction have been actively developed in all over the world through the diversification of new materials and construction methods. On the other hand, the growth rate of wooden construction market is still slow in Korea. In an attempt to promote the Korean traditional wooden buildings, a comprehensive research project has been conducted. This R&D project is developing standard designs, new materials, and methods for modernized Hanok including houses, public buildings, long-span structures, and even high-rise buildings. To this end, the purpose of this study is to formulate a technological strategy for popularization of modernized Hanok. Influencing variables and issues are analyzed and defined first. At the same time, the five keywords have examined in the perspective of dissemination of modernized Hanok technology. Finally, a technology road map for strategic development of modernized Hanok is proposed through casual diagrams.
