막구조의 특징을 활용한 조형디자인 연구

The formative design has been evolved into a diverse formative world through the change intoan interdisciplinary art design since postmodernism. Escaping from conventional manufacturingmethods by metal, wood or glass, it makes progress toward freestyles and forms. Among them,use of the structure of membrane which maintains the supporter and the tension enables thefree expression of curves and thus effective manufacturing of organic structures is possible. Here,the extended concept of formative design through new media and structures and the possibilityof various expression are recognizable. This study aims to examine the significance and potentialof formative design utilizing membrane structure through its expression cases. The membranestructure, one of the old types of architecture which have been applied in various ways in thehistory of mankind is a form that is actively applied to long-span spatial structures usinglightweight membrane materials. In particular, Frei Otto, who established membrane structures asan architectural structure, found out the concept 'optimal minimum aspect' while developing themembrane structures into a light, adaptable, and variable new type of architecture. In the resultof analysis of the cases of art and design utilizing membrane structures through themorphological and structural expansion, the following significance and possibility were identified. First, it constructs various forms and appearances because free curved surfaces can be formed. Second, it shows an economical construction by bringing lightweight in terms of materials andstructures based on the concept of 'optimal minimum aspect'. Third, it shows variable formsthrough elastic textile structures. The surface individuals of the elastic textile structural systemare all different. It exist under the concept of naturalism that resembles the structure system ofliving things that act organically influencing each other. Such utilization of membrane structuresthat show an elastic structural system of textile presents the augmentation of its expression andmedia by enabling a quantum leap in fibrous tissue materials and various and complexmulti-layered membrane sculpture through the computer simulation modeling.
