Abstract The purpose of this study was to analyze the meaning and the role of 'form' through Louis Kahn's sketch. Analysis on the Kahn's sketch in the process of his thought and work is the most clear way to see the his own word, 'form' and 'form drawing' which is the important way to express 'form'. 'Form' came from 'realization' about 'nature of space' meaning of 'what space want to be', which need a subject as a being. The subject is a psyche that is not ego, has a common sense. That's why we can see that 'form' makes existence different and is based on common sense that person wants. Louis Kahn's representative house project, Fisher house show very clear 'form drawing' described from the preliminary sketch. From the 'form drawing', We can read 'form' that has consistently applied to material application, space arrangement, detail construction and boundary of wall between inside and outside in the full sketch process of Fisher house.
