This paper investigates a vision of the underground environment associated with an aesthetic discipline. Its fundamental notion is sublimity, which was a phenomenon that involved a number of artworks engaged with changing the perception of the underground experience. This paper seeks to clarify how the idea of the living environment underground has changed by examining the works of writers, painters, and architects who have drawn inspiration from the concept of imaginary underworlds. Through a case study of the Chichu Art Museum, a representative underground space in terms of a sustainable relationship between architectural spaces and nature that could be experienced as sublime, this paper considers how to integrate visitors to distribute their awareness of artists’ work. It also stimulates visitors’ perceptions of a more sustainable future through sublime experiences, offering a way to understand underground integration with artworks. Therefore, this paper contributes to the knowledge of the relationship between architecture and artwork by increasing the aesthetic value of the underground space and considering how art intervenes in architecture to create a sustainable didactic.

The potential relationship between external and internal spaces in the architectural environment of the post-pandemic era is emerging as an essential issue. Since the early 20th century, the issue of transparency inside and outside architecture has been explored in various fields. This study is motivated by the lack of a leading theory about architectural transparency in the post-pandemic era. First, it revisits the notion of phenomenal transparency in Colin Rowe and Robert Slutzky’s influential text on “literal” and “phenomenal” transparency. Next, it investigates Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology for architectural transparency. Last, it scrutinizes practical possibilities using cases from Sejima and Nishizawa and Associates (SAANA). It finds that intertwining the cognition of natural environment and spatial experiential perceptions can create phenomenological architectural experiences. Sustainable architectural transparency may be accomplished when three factors (the visual perception of space, spatial experiential perceptions, and the cognition of natural environment) are incorporated. Further, depth functions as a medium for architectural transparency, intertwining between material and immaterial, literal and phenomenal, and visible and invisible. There is tremendous potential to conduct pilot studies based on this study, to re-evaluate architectural transparency with phenomenological ideas.

멀티플렉스의 등장은 한국영화 산업의 불황을 극복하는 견인차 역할을 하기도 했지만, 이러한 긍정적 효과와 함께 영화산업 및 문화의 획일화라는 문제를 야기 시키기도 했다. 멀티플렉스의 등장으로 인해 도시 맥락적 측면에서도 획일화된 도시 구조와 도심 공동화현상이 문제점으로 나타나고 있다. 우리나라에서도 원도심 내부의 도시 공간활성화 문제는 무엇보다 시급한 문제이다. 기존의 원도심에 위치한 유휴공간으로 남아있거나 기타 상업시설로 전용된 영화관시설은 근대화를 통해 발전해온 우리 도시문화역사를 보여주는 중요한 도시기억요소이다. 이러한 기억 요소들은 상징공간을 형성하고 그것이 장소성으로 나타나게 된다. 이글에서는 이론적 배경으로서 렐프의 상징공간 개념과 알도로시의 유형의 개념을 알아본다. 이를 통해 현재의 원도심 영화관과 주변 도시 조직의 현실에 대한 이해를 장소성이라는 시각을 통해 확장하는 기회를 갖는다. 또한 영화관의 기억적 요소와 원도심이라는 상징공간의 장소성의 측면에서 도시조직을 어떠한 방식으로 재생 시킬 것인가에 대한 논의를 해보고자한다. 소형의 문화가 대두되는 현 시점에서 거대 프로젝트가 아니더라도 작은 건축적 차원의 재생방법이 더욱 큰 영향력을 발휘 할 수 있을 것이다. 극장 시설을 통한 원도심 재생은 그 가치를 크게 두고 장기적인 계획을 세워야 할 것이다.
