The purpose of this paper is to research the meaning of sense in Louis Kahn’s architectural works. This proves relation the human sense with the emphasis of tactile and visual sense in the mass shown in Kahn’s architecture in the view point of architecture experience. Kahn had revealed that architecture is based on the condition of reality by expressing specific time and place in process of giving form. The kahn’s architecture revealed as a sensual reality is interpreted as the recognition of architectural importance experienced through human’s sense, in the meaning that tactile sense is the way to feel their present physicality with the most primitive sense of humans. This means that Kahn intended to place human beings as the subject of experience through the sensory expression at the root of architecture. As a result, this study is to establish a possibility of expanding the horizon of architectural interpretation in Kahn’s works by seeing that the human and architecture through concept of existence in his architecture is related to his architectural experience.
