Abstract. Architecture can be a product of 4-dimensional thought. Through 4-dimensional space, we can easily define solid models as architectural shapes, and also change the models as we like. In addition, we can get coordinate elements constituting the shape, which is very useful for analysis of structural dynamics and economical examination. It is of a great advantage to the architectural construction of the present days.
