그로피우스 초기 건축에서의 낭만주의적 양상에 관한 연구

Abstract

This study aims to research the Romantic ideas as the backgrounds through which W. Gropius' architectural thoughts are formed. Along with Romanticism, even though so-called Universal ideas appeared to various names, it is indeed a continuous stream of thought history in the West. In particular, the Theosophy and Froebel education that were fundamental sources of the intellect, and that flourished as a faith in common in the late 19th as well as the early 20th century West, had influenced several Avant-garde artists and architects. More importantly and significantly is that these changes of philosophical and religious beliefs developed to embody into the Expressionism and toward modern art. There are not exception in the case of W. Gropius architecture, because his works, which have been focused only as rational and functional, in fact are based on the Romantic ideas. As it were, it is the use of glass as a materialization of the spirit as well as of standardization as the purity by will-to-art that he took in the process of the reality, even not followed the peculiar shapes. Therefore, W. Gropius accomplished the modernity as an unity of the two opposites, namely spirit and matter, in his works.
