Abstract This study is to focus on finding problems of interactive contemporary architecture envelopes as urban space and solve them. After Le Corbusier's Dom-ino theory, the envelopes of the structures are now composing an attractive consideration as they grew into a free element without being restricted by the structure itself. However, this phenomenon is staying as brining only the entertaining element, namely signboards, into relief and forcing one-way communications to the external observers as well as the internal users. In case of previous studies, that only introduce about examples of interactive building envelopes. Therefore, objective study is insufficient. Thus, on the basis of domestic cases, we did survey on 30 people in 7 different places and interviewed them individually which were 210 people in total. Survey was composed of 3 topics; Natural features, recognition, variety and harmony with the urban space. After the survey, how two buildings and public facilities were compared in different conditions by selecting a different assessment of the differences appear to proceed further by an analysis of whether the location and size, affect on whether there is a difference in the building also investigated. A mutual complementary cooperation was applied with advantages and disadvantages of each Interactive architecture envelopes to complement the current problems.
