The purpose of this study is to understand the concept of ‘institution’ in Louis I. Kahn’s architecture through the analysis of his archive drawings and words. He had been willing to realize the “Architecture as Institution” which was brought into being by inspirational sources that he came to define as “the inspiration to learn” and “the inspiration to meet”. It was revealed empirically that he realized the concept of institution through the ambulatory or the court in First Unitarian Church and School, Indian Institution of Management, and Phillips Exeter Library. What he tried to insert was that quality which touched the desires of people beyond needs and that which would motivate similar desires on the part of those who may use the building.
