A Study on role of Figure in Collective Housing Complex Planning Circus in UNO Group as Methode of Architectural Space Design

In its architectural design curriculum, the UNO Group of the Paris-Belleville School of Architecture is characterized by utilizing three-dimensional models on a small scale, called figure, with achromatic and primary colors from the 1980s. The three-dimensional form of expression of figure is fundamentally different from ordinary program–diagram models with a similar form in that the latter tend to express the three-dimensional composition of functions with free form in relation to the concept of projects, while the former complies with composition law of figure based on the UNO Group’s unique theory on space in modern architecture and expresses conceptual implications abstractly. Figure has its existential value as part of the key methodologies that realize ultimate goals of the UNO Group’s education, which assumes perception about architectural space as the most prioritized topic of architectural education. Figure is obtained through education over a certain period in architecture studios based on the UNO group’s simple text explaining the basic principles of figure, and therefore it is difficult to identify a clear educational content for figure in practical terms. Such ambiguity in the formal aspects is likely to trigger confusion among students who receive education on the spot, and literature complementing a more systematic explanation is considered necessary. This study examined compositional methods and fundamentals of figure and is meaningful as providing basic data to develop educational manuals related to figure in UNO studios.
