Abstract This study shows how an architect, when he designs a museum, analogizes symbolism and clarifies relations between the basis of analogy and its characteristics through the classification of materialization methods of symbolism. The basis of analogy can be divided into two groups: ①an analogy based on internal reason like an exhibition program; ②an analogy based on external reason like a sense of place. Two materialization methods are a symbolism expressed partially and a symbolism expressed wholly. The former can be classified into two cases: ①disposition of a specific object in the foreground; ②exposure of sheds or skylights. The latter can also be divided into two: ① imagination of a museum formally; ②consideration of a sense of place. Among them, the example which considers a sense of place corresponds to an analogy based on external reason, the others are results of an analogy based on internal reason. In the case of the analogy based on internal reason, a museum can catch sight of visitors easily due to a distinction against neighboring context. In the case of the analogy based on external reason, a museum can be harmonized easily with environment formally or metaphorically.
