The aim of this study is to clarify the composition of exterior slanted space in Japanese contemporary architecture. “Exterior slanted space” is seen as an inclined open space within public facilities which affords a good view of the vicinity and provides a place where people may congregate. The structure of the exterior slanted space is seen as a composition between the slanted element with attachments, such as buildings or open spaces. First, the exterior slanted elements and attachments were defined. Second, exterior slanted elements were examined according to the organization of the connection between top(s), bottom(s), and side(s). Third, applied connections of attachments to the exterior slanted element were observed, leading to the distinguishment of typologies. By comparing these typologies, five characteristics were clarified as Axis, Deviation, Cul-de-Sac, Concentration, and Dispersion. The restriction of the circulation sequence varies these characteristics as Axis surrounded with volumes, Concentration surrounded with volumes, and Dispersion mounted on volume.
