Abstract
This paper is an extraction of the system of KIWARI, from the analization of "DAIKU-KIKUJAKUSYU". Architecture essentially has an aesthetical delicate proportion of form. However, the art of KIWARI, not relying on designer's individuil ability, is inclined witn delicacy to rearrange each measure into an objective system of numerical values. Historically, the various conditions of architectural production at first had proportioned KIWARI's numerical value mainly in a simple 1 to 10 module. However, KIWARI's measure-system has the capacity to include a group of precise numerical values by setting up kinds of standard module and making it in turn decide each measure, systematizing each measure-organization of a main-system and sub-systems.
