Abstract
The aim of this study is to clarify significance of rigid frame structure in reinforced concrete that characterized and specialized the works of Mart Stam. As the result below mentioned five points become clear. 1. As the criterion of plastic design that corresponds to the reality of modern society, Stam advocated a notion called "collective configuration". 2. That idea was introduced into architectural design and took shape by introducing industrialized and standardized system. 3. Above system was to realize by using reinforced concrete as the material and rigid frame structure as the structural method. 4. A configuration in nature was recognized as the model. 5. Therefore, the gate-style frame was understood as the essential element for the process of configuration as the minimum unit. So concrete frame structure and Stam's idea were inseparably linked.
