Le Corbusier's 5 points theory has been considered as one of the important theories in modern architecture. This is published 3 times. However, Studies focusing on these 3 publications are very rare. Especially, it is most necessary to understand how horizontal windows and independent frames changed one by one. Because they are the keys of the 5 points concept. With this background, the subject of this research is to interpret implicit meanings in the changes of the 5 points, focusing on specifically the point of horizontal windows. There are three goals. First, finding major changes in 3 times of publications. Second, studying new concept about the horizontal windows point. Third, interpreting his intention of changing the 5 points theory from that. This research is limited to the second publication. Study methods are extracting, comparing and analysing of the primary documents by Le Corbusier. There are three results. Firstly, the application area of his 5 points is extended from house into urban scale and from theory into construction in part. Secondly, new keyword appeared the most at the horizontal windows point. They are all converged into one concept about independent frames. Thirdly, the implication of 5 points' changes appeared in his mentions about different social class's house type and standardization house. It is his social vision that any social class of people can have the same human living conditions by applicating the 5 points in their new house constructions. Afterwords, it is necessary to continue studies on the third publication of the 5 points. I want this study to make korean architects re-think the modern architecture vision.
