Abstract The Purpose of this study is to analyze the urban area and architectural spaces within, which are described in two Korean literatures, "The Sun & Moon" and "The Square", using the following three methods. First, we classify architectural terms used in the literatures into 14 types, and we analyze the usage frequency of those and the trend in architectural style within them. Second, we define the background stages appearing in the literatures as conscious spaces and set these into three distinctive spaces: space of custom, consensus, and estrangement, which are divided further into six patterns of spaces based on whether they are private or social. Analyzing characteristics of the architectural terms described in each pattern space, we examine the conscious spaces and the relation with the stages. Third, we build the structure of consciousness among the background stages and analyze the spatial meaning of post-war society. We expect to find some symbols of historical and physical urban architectural space. In the mean time, we can also find the other spaces veiled by these symbols, the psychological space.
