To search for architectural essence or the law of origins which Kahn asserted appears to recover the eternities in architecture. By the
way, in the relationship between human and Nature, Kahn stated that Nature brings a means enabling life as a giver for existence and
human needs Nature. In this point of view, Kahn's theoretical conclusion can be analyzed as a general unchanged treasure house of the
origins, Nature. To recover the eternities is to return to Nature from the perspective of Taoism. Kahn maintaining the viewpoint of
pantheism can be understood from the point that he weights the reflection toward the Creature or Nature after awakening himself, like
Lao-tzu, toward the origins and the eternities which can be disregarded with excessive arrogance caused by science and material.
Searching for the eternities enables communication to the past. The relationship between ‘silence’ and ‘light and darkness’ is to enable the
communication between the real world and the mental world. Therefore, Kahn's idea searching ‘the origins’ and ‘silence and light’ can be
understood identically as Lao-tzu's ideas, ‘the origins’ and ‘to respect the origins by nothingness’.
