칼 포퍼의 ‘사물의 본성’으로 바라본 쇼핑 몰 계획의 변용연구

Abstract

The mall, the commercial space that has existed since the mid-20th Century, revealed an axis of transformation withthe flow of time, and it was the process of transformation from the centripetal to the centrifugal, parallel, and complex types. Inother words, there was the initial phase from the enclosed centripetal malls planned by Gruen, to the open centrifugal mallswith the shallow depth of space, followed by the process of transformation into juxtaposition and complex types with deeperspace than open malls, and the characters of both open and enclosed malls in one space. This series of transformationsshares similarities with the Roman forum, a historical commercial space, and this study discusses the process of transformationcommonly found in the malls and in the Roman forums based on the concept of the true character of things of Karl Popper. Furthermore, the two-step concept of setting-into-work of Christian Norberg-Schulz was applied to clarify the meaning oftransformation of malls.
