Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the concept of "prospect and continuity" in spaces of Gana Art Center and Whanki Museum in Korea. This thesis can be summarized as follows: First, based on monism, Gana Art Center forms fluid and organic spaces, which means that obscurity caused by inconclusive outlines and transparency through glass walls form the concept of prospect by the coincident experiences between the subjects and objects. Second, the dominant concept of Whanki Museum, the dualism shows the sequence having mobility and sense of direction through lights and objects. Especially, the frames of vertical axises forming the picturesque prospect and users eyes dispersed in all directions emphasize on the separation of subjects and objects by frames.
