Abstract

There are two main trends in modern worldview. The main trend is pluralistic thinking that suggested the restoration of human identity and ecological thinking that emphasizes the coexistence of humans and nature for a sustainable society. Postmodernism includes stylistic values as well as timing meaning “after the present,” and it does not mean to escape from the present, but to realize simultaneous stratification of “past, present, future”and reproduce stratification of values such as “superior culture” and “minority and majority.” Postmodern architecture can be divided into periods from the 1960s to the present, such as exploration period (60s), introduction period (70s-80s), formation period (90s), and evolution period (2000s). The period of exploration attempted to shift from functionalistic thinking to pluralistic thinking in modern times, and the period of introduction reflected ecological thinking as well as human sensibility. As a result of analyzing 40 cases into 17 significant factors, they were divided into three groups: Group A, which mainly considers emotional design elements, Group B, which balances emotional and complex system science, and Group C. Group B includes the cases of Peter Eisenman, Norman Foster, Frank O. Gehry, Rem Koolhas and Enric Miracles, which have been considered major examples of modern architecture since the 1990s. Therefore, it can be seen that the main trends in modern architecture reflect human sensibility, which is the main motivation for the formation of postmodern architecture, and design elements considering complex system paradigms, fractals, and ecological characteristics. Therefore, the main trend of modern architecture is to realize design elements based on human sensibility and ecological characteristics in architecture by applying modern science and technology.
