Abstract
This paper has examined and made formal analysis of the sketches contained in the 3rd chapter of “Alpine Architektur” by Bruno Taut, especially the sketches titled ‘Das Baugebiet’ and ‘Monte Rosa Bebauung’ and has clarified his design method of utopian landscapes in the Alps. Through the process of classifying form elements and arrangement patterns, three basic types were found and they were scattered over the mountain as aggregate or continuous forms like glittering glass mosaics harmonized with landscapes.
