The purpose of this study is to clarify the relationship between “architecture” and “human being”
considered by Kikutake, and to structurize his concepts regarding it. This study targets 1 to 7
(excluding 5) of “Kikutake Kiyonori / Works and Methods” included in “Architecture” published
by SEIDOUSYA. As a method, I will look at the way Kikutake perceived “human being” in his
discourses about design hypothesis. In his published “human being” is the primary concept in
architecture and also the basic point of direction in design concept.
