(Background and Purpose) In order to recover the relational diversity between space and environment in the recognition of the problem of space and environment, architectural design attempts on space as open systems that can be exchanged between individuals and society, inside and outside. The representative design attempt is Self-organization. There are many examples of self-organizing architecture that makes space using nature's self-organizing principle, but in order for this self-organizing space to be evaluated as a truly open system, it must have its own breathing with environment and sustainable characteristics like metabolism. However, at present, there is no research on self-organizing space in the environmental aspect of sustainability. Therefore, the evaluation of the eco-friendly characteristics of self-organizing space has not been properly performed. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the eco-friendly possibility of self-organizing space that create new organic relations between the environment and space in a rapidly changing modern society. (Method) First of all, in Chapter 2, self-organizing space is considered theoretically before analyzing according to the passive design. In Chapter 3, an analysis framework is prepared by deriving analytical elements to identify eco-friendly characteristics from a passive design perspective. In Chapter 4, I evaluates the eco-friendly characteristics of self-organizing space cases based on the analysis framework derived in Chapter 3 and suggests the implications of whether self-organizing spaces can present the eoc-friendly possibility of living systems from the perspective of passive design. (Results) The eco-friendly characteristics of the self-organized space were divided into five passive design items and analyzed by the Likert scale. As a result, space plan items in passive design by using natural ventilation, daylighting, and buffer space was the highest. On the other hand, envelope plan and greening plan items in passive design were not reflected much. Namely, the eco-friendly passive design in the self-organized space of modern architecture is to induce feedback with the surrounding environment such as daylighting or natural ventilation caused by non-linear interaction through dynamic opening between spaces, rather than to control energy by insulation. (Conclusions) Self-organized spaces must be characterized as breathing with their surroundings like metabolism in order to be evaluated as a true living system. Here, breathing is always moving, which means that the movement must be in a ring of great circulation with the environment. Since the eco-friendly design to freely exchange energy with the surrounding natural environment have not been conspicuous yet in the self-organized space, the eco-friendly possibility of the self-organized space is difficult to receive high evaluation. More passive design efforts are needed to compensate for this.
