A Study on the Interior and the Exterior in the Architectures of Wright, Mies, Le Corbusier, Aalto, seen from the Point of View of the Significance of Limit and World

Modern architecture's integration of interior and exterior spaces, often achieved through glass and steel, reflects Descartes' infinite spatial conception. However, this approach overlooks the meaningful interpretation of space in human lives, a gap addressed by Heidegger's existential philosophy. The study evaluates the works of Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Alvar Aalto across three categories: opening to the exterior with homogenization (Mies, Le Corbusier), maintaining interior as shelter while opening to the exterior (Wright), and creating intermediate spaces between interior and exterior (Aalto). This analysis highlights how different architects interpret space's significance through their designs, offering a nuanced understanding of spatiality in modern architecture.
