Abstract The purpose of this study is to find the relationship between hightech architecture and digital one through the discussion on Karl Botticher's view on tectonic in 19th century. The discussion of tectonics which has not been brought up until recently. Since there are no studies regarding contemporary architecture relating to Karl Botticher's view on tectonic, so it is fairly significant to study Karl Botticher's conception, discussion and relationship of contemporary architecture. To study the essence and meaning of Karl Botticher's view on tectonic in 19th century, we will analyze each examples of hightech architecture and digital architecture through Karl Botticher's dual form. Botticher insist that dualistic relationship is united and produced simultaneously. Because they have so closed relationship each other, it's impossible to apply only decoration without structure. Therefore they have mutual assistant relationship. A relationship can be found between hightech architecture's technology and structural symbol that Karl Botticher tried to find in steel which is new material ornament. Digital architecture can be confirmed as images which are made of maximum expose through consistent dynamics of structure. Karl Btticher try to find structural symbolism between new meterail, iron, and decoration. In modern architecture it has the closed relationship with high-tech technology.
