Text description of Presence of Absence is one of the major forms of communication for architects to express their conceptual intention. Normally, architects design architecture by making objects. But sometimes they eliminate a part of the original object or parts to design architecture, for example, eliminate columns to make a large space in a building. The way creates some effects which could not create just only making an object. The objective of this paper is to reveal the aspect of architecture from the view of Presence of Absence from expression of elimination through the text description of buildings.
The flow of this research is as below:
1. Extract sentences which contain presence of absence used by architects to explain their design of architecture from architectural magazine, Shinkenchiku during 1950 - 2013.
2. Extract what were eliminated from the design of architecture, the ways which they were eliminated, they define the eliminated as subject, and the result of elimination as effect.
3. Consider and analyze the relationship between the eliminated and ways, the eliminated and Subject, the eliminated and Effect by using correspondence analysis. After that, derive the tendency of their properties.
4. Categorize the relationships by creating a matrix. Take horizontal axis as effect, vertical axis as subject, further create ways of the eliminated within the vertical axis as sub-category.
As a result, between the eliminated and Subject, three tendencies were found : Objects constituting form, External conditions and system, Spaces constituting environment. Between the eliminated and Effect, four tendencies were found : Functional structure of space, Abstraction of sense, Dimensional transformation of architectural form, Extroverted aspect. And between the eliminated and Type of elimination, three tendencies were found : Obfuscation of atmosphere, Deliberate abstraction, Epistemic release. Through the investigation of the matrix, 22 types of the frameworks were derived as Presence of Absence.
To summarize the characteristics of architectural Presence of Absence from expression of elimination in text description of buildings, 1.) Through the design of architecture, architect expresses essence of own architecture by using subtraction and abstraction, 2.) In the activity inside of architecture, architect expresses potential of activity inside of architecture eliminated, 3.) In the recognition of architecture, architect obscures the perception and dismantle ideally, be present nature and unit of form as a virtual image to express architecture beyond the existing concept. The expressions of eliminate reveal that not only building function and material presence but also meaning and added values architects create through the absence.
