Abstract This research aims at examining the architectural expression aspects for architecture consisting of material to reflect the modern capitalistic society through immateriality that spreads through utility of functions, creation of time and space, and nonverbal communication. The architectural aspects of the information-oriented society are as the following in terms of the axiology of material based on the of Marks and of Mauss. First, as for the use value of projection, architecture that expresses substance straightforwardly works as the visual media which will be expressed as the context or concept to be reflected to the urban context. Therefore, the eye itself that can penetrate into the real human society can be reverted to an artistic sense. Second, regarding the exchange value of the conversion, the material composing architecture changes and becomes conscious as dematerialized information of time and space. Therefore, an architect needs a conscious opportunity so that he/she can interpret architectural materiality in more various ways and reorganize time and space with diverse information by encouraging observers to participate as well. Third, the meaningful interpretation of hypothetical symbolic values becomes rich by memory or imagination through the forms of architecture. In this background, an architect helps remember the information of social events through architecture and extends the meanings to result in inspiring communication with observers with forms and space through symbolized emotions.
