Abstract The theoretical framework of "Folding in Architecture" has been generally regarded as the expression of the French philosopher, Gilles Deleuze's idea of the "fold" or pli originally from the characteristics of Leibniz's and Bergson's philosophy. However, actual works toward this architectural tendency are fundamentally different from Deleuze's ontological thinking because these were primarily fabricated as formal theme by architects always searching for the meaning of "fold" as only tangible attribute. Thus, this paper attempts to point out that controversial issue, and suggest a new meaning of "Folding in Architecture", which is truely based on Deleuze's broad meaning of the "fold" registered both as a material phenomenon and as a metaphysical idea, that can overcome the fallacy of those contemporary architects.
