A Study on the Trends for Expression in Korean Contemporary Architectural Facade Design: Focusing on Large Buildings in the City Center

Various facade designs in modern architecture have expanded the limits of materials and construction methods. In this study, I explored and analyzed structural, decorative, media, and adaptive as representative case studies of facade expression. This study identified the following modern architectural trends for new facade construction methods in South Korea. First, efforts to improve the function of spaces by integrating interior and exterior spaces. Second, attempts for creating decorative facade expressions that stimulate human senses, or expand perceptions and increase aesthetic sense. Third, forming complementary relationships with the city by demonstrating regionality. Fourth, enhancing the performance of facades with adaptive facades. Fifth, helping to expand publicness, such as strengthening and combining the relationships between city, building, and person. Changes and advances in architectural facades will ultimately enhance fundamental aspects of architecture, enriching our daily living through harmony between the traditional and the modern, buildings and humans, and buildings and the environment.
