In contemporary architecture, the human perception is extended by the expressive characteristics of the exterior-envelope, and the society that contains the architectural space projects the historical, social, and cultural values through the exterior-envelope. Recently, in contemporary Korean architecture, many attempts have been made to implement brick exterior-envelopes as ‘boundary space’ and ‘transition space’ not as ‘boundary wall’ through the rediscovery of brick properties, new esthetic and emotional approach, the development of technology, and creative design solutions. The expressive characteristics of brick exterior-envelope used by contemporary Korean architects to create such transitional spaces include 'dematerialization', 'porosity', 'antigravity image', 'Overlapping', and 'free-form'. The purpose of this study is to analyze the tendency and reason for the increase of brick exterior-envelope in Korean contemporary architecture and to investigate and classify the expressive characteristics of brick exterior-envelope and to study the transition in space by brick exterior-envelope.
