A study on the geometric spatial characteristics in Mies van der Rohe's architectural design

This paper derives geometric space characteristics based on geometric space and Mies van der Rohe's architectural design, and analyzes how such space appears in Mies van der Rohe's architecture. The purpose is to analyze geometric space characteristics in architecture and derive the results by focusing on representative early buildings after C.I.A.M. (International Competition for Modern Architecture). This study analyzes cases based on Mies van der Rohe's buildings that changed after C.I.A.M. The analysis criteria were derived through geometric pure figures, and analyzed with three geometric space characteristics: symbolic, relational, and hierarchical. As a result, the geometric symbol of space was mainly expressed through the derivation of geometric pure figures and the repetitive forms of figures, and the repetitive and simple forms further emphasize the symbolic space. The geometric relationship of space is mainly expressed as a flowing connection in the horizontal plane space of architecture, and the connection of space is developed and expressed as the flow of moving lines. The geometric hierarchy of space is mainly expressed through the vertical separation of space, and the separation of space is centered on the vertical core, and the serial space is expressed through the hierarchical arrangement. These spatial characteristics are expressed through geometric pure shapes and become the basis for planning essential space. Finding such essential space and maintaining formal originality also plays an important role in the development of future architectural forms. Therefore, starting with this study, we aim to find the essence of architectural space.
