Industrial Revolution became a major turning point for architecture and the invention of new building materials has enabled new ways of opening windows as seen in horizontally continuous windows. Following that, boundaries between interior and exterior of buildings are diversified. In the design of main room of modern houses, architect's understanding and thoughts on its relationship to the surroundings and adjacent rooms are observed thorough the boundary conditions. The objective of this paper is to reveal spatial configuration of modern houses from comprehensive understanding of interior/exterior ambit which is composed of a main room, adjacent spaces and surroundings.
The flow of this research is as below:
1) Select 72 modern houses as the examples to represent the research objective.
2) Extract the form of ambit of the selected modern houses, and typify the configuration.
3) Extract the characteristic of the ambit, and typify the configuration.
4) Create a matrix by the types of the form and the characteristic of the ambit to derive the configuration format of the main room of modern houses based on the interior/exterior ambits. Through the investigation of the genealogy of the format, the major spatial configurations of the main room in the overall modern houses were analyzed.
As a result, 15 configuration format of the main room of modern houses in consideration of the form and characteristic of the interior/exterior ambits are derived. In addition, 5 major frameworks are grasped as below:
1) The building element of the main room significantly stipulates the use of the room (composition and space).
2) The relationship between the main room and the surroundings diversifies human behavior (human and surroundings).
3) The main room and human behavior create strong relationship entirely (human and space).
4) The main room and spatial composition support human act in the room (composition and act).
5) Various border elements in interior/exterior enhance the relationship of the interior/exterior (act and relationship).
Through the investigation on genealogy of the format of the selected modern houses based on the interior/exterior ambits, the transitions of each architect's thoughts in each period were found as well. Moreover, the differences of modern houses' composition of whole house and main room were found through the comparison with preceding investigation.
