베를라헤 건축 사상의 근원과 재현적 표현에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to reveal sources of Berlage’s architectural ideas. First of all, this is a study focused on the spatial characteristics and influence of Hegel’s aesthetics. Berlage shows his architectural ideas based on the aesthetic theory with a complicated historical background in the end of 19th century. The Berlage’s architectural idea is a feature of the ‘comprehensive trend’ which is the meaning of modernity. Berlage draws the architectural idea called ‘Unity in Diversity’ from aesthetic ideas, especially through those of Hegel’s aesthetics. Berlage’s architectural idea revealed through his two works, ‘The Amsterdam Stock Exchange’ and ‘The Hague Municipal Museum.’ In Amsterdam Stock Exchange, for example, is expressed ‘Unity in Diversity’ through grid based on the Egyptian triangle with Dutch bricks called ‘waalformat’. And in Hague Municipal Museum also shows that ‘Unity in Diversity’ expressed by making 110cm grid, 11cm modules and Berlage’s bricks. Importantly is that Berlage drew conclusion of modules and units by using geometry, and reflected it in the real works. In a word, Berlage struggles to shows his architectural ideas of the ‘comprehensive trend’ which he recognizes the meaning of the modernity even in the conflicted situation of historicism and new architecture at that time.
