Abstract Actualizing 'the Deleuze-Gattari's virtual' is the trial expressing the multiplicity of quality. Through the endless repeating of 'becoming', 'the virtual' will be born as 'an abundant body without organs'. As doing so, it would suggest the direction to which contemporary architecture should go. Further more, the lasting creation and processing to 'an abundant body without organs' means 'open architecture'. Thus, that can be said 'Flux architecture' or 'Becoming architecture'. So, this paper studies the concept of 'Deleuze-Guattari's ‘the virtual' and 'fold', 'rizhome', 'simulacre' for 'Flux architecture', and it takes interest in the form and space generated from that. Also, this paper tried actualization of 'the virtual' through the 'digital design method based on the thought of 'fold', 'rizhome'and 'simulacre'. Digital architecture has some such features as topological, decentralized, nonhierarchical, dematerialized, unrealistic and flexible. These are related to 'fold', 'rhizome' and 'simulacre' generated from Deleuze- Guattari's thoughts. In conclusion, this paper defines the concepts of digital architectural design which is based upon Deleuze- Guattari'
