The intention of this paper is to make a thematic explication of Aldo van Eyck's architectural thought through inquiring into his methodological concept of "imagination." The analysis consists of two main chapters as follows: Chapter 2 explicates the structure of this concept with reference to his early treatises on modern arts in which he depicts the realm of "reality" as the world of "metamorphosis." Chapter 3 illustrates an architectural meaning of "imagination" by analyzing his unpublished manuscript whose title "the Child, the City and the Artist" represents the "three realities" in architecture-urbanism as man's creative activity, or art.
