Abstract

This particular thesis is all about what Japanese architects have done in their own activities with words. The study forthe thesis is based on following points; the activhy of architect is not only material practice, but language practice as well. With this notion, we have already presented papers on THESIS OFDOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE OF ARCHITECTS and THOUGHTS ON CITY OF ARCHITECTS. This time we report DESIGN THEME OF ARCHITECTS. The process of study is consisted of two parts; INITIALLY, we studied what kind of issue architects have been concerned with, through their own theories. SECONDLY, we forcused on words which express design theme in each theory, and clarified sphere of architects design theme and succession of each other. On this particular study, we made clear what Japanese architects have thought in their design activity after World War n. At the same time, this study is also for the trial of searching for the academic method of study on architects language practice.
