Description

This research is a trial to make the concept of the 'contextualism', which has been pursued widely in America during the last three decades, clear. This paper reexamines the transition of the concept of 'context' in the American architectural thought from 1960 to early 1970's. Until the mid-1960's, the word 'context' became used at the level of physical environment. At that time, the concept of the 'contextualism' arose out of seeing cities as both buildings and spaces; it was conceived as a set of strat-egies for building in cities and it proposed the continuity between adjacent buildings. Although after the mid-1960's, when many critical writings about modernism were published, the word 'context' became used at the level of semantics of environment gradually.
