Abstract The core of space perception in 'La phenomenologie de la perception' written by Maurice Merleau-Ponty is that in modern architecture mechanical and passive to space experience, phenomenological elements such as up/down, depth, time, exercise, place, etc rather than body itself are newly recognized in overall consideration of physical responses. This means that our body can also experience our surrounding space at one with space beyond one object. In this context, modern architect Tadao Ando induced people to experience space through architectural languages such as undefined crack area, conscious contact, abstract nature, etc. Such architectural languages are materialized in combination of space elements such as light, water, nature, wall, materials and property of matter, slope and staircase, and one architectural space is formed through interaction of accidental events between each element of building and human movement. Although it is invisible, phenomenological characteristics shown through human body can be applied in the same way to the architectural space. Therefore, you will be able to newly recognize space concept if you study on architectural space with phenomenological characteristics manifested.
