Abstract This study compares and examines the vertical movement ramp spaces of representative modern architectural buildings of the Villa Savoye and the Guggenheim Museum; the personality development theory of the object relations theory was closely examined to determine if the spiral that Anthony Vidler saw as an example of Warped Space could be suitable for future architectural spaces. The purpose of this study was to analyze which stage of the personality development theory these works corresponded to. The results indicated that the central ramp space on the first floor of the Villa Savoye symbolized a three-dimensional space of gaze as the dispersion and combination of gaze were repeated when successive sequences were analyzed based on Lacan's gaze theory. When comparing the Villa Savoye with Klein's personality development theory, the central ramp space on the first floor corresponded to the stage of the editorial position. The analysis of the spiral ramp at the Guggenheim Museum based on Lacan's gaze theory revealed that unlike the ramp space on the first floor of the Villa Savoye, the stage of gaze developed by the repetition of gaze was not limited to the space of the ramp, but the awareness of the audience of the entire Guggenheim space was expanded. The spiral ramp at the Guggenheim Museum corresponded to a space of the stage regarding the paranoid schizoid position in Klein's personality development theory. Lastly, comparing the ramp space, which is the vertical movement space of modern architecture, Klein's personality development theory found that the spiral form that Vidler insisted to be closest to the space of the warped space corresponded more to the developmental stage than the general ramp space form.
