Abstract This study is focused on the tendency of transaction in contemporary architecture which is based on John Dewey's meaning of transaction. Transaction is a kind of action between individual and situations which surround the individual. In other word, it is the activity generating the effect through the medium of external situation. However the concept of transaction is able to be interpreted in the object as well as human being. There are three meanings of transaction. First is the mutual organic relation, second is synthetic cognition and the last is the emergent event. These meanings are used as an analytical tool to understand contemporary architecture. The factors of contemporary architecture can be classified into user, environment, building. Each factor obtains the mutual organic relation and exchanges the effects. Also Each factor is recognized each other on the whole context. So this relationship and recognition can be analyzed the event. In conclusion, the relationship between each factor of contemporary architecture is not simply interaction but transaction since the experience of architecture is continuously changing and becomes a new one.
