Abstract
This paper deals with Louis I. Kahn's notion of order with regard to atypical spatial arrangements in Dominican Congregation Motherhouse, 1966-68. First, the development of the notion of order is discussed. Then, geometric order and spatial arrangement applied in his projects between 1950 and 1969 are surveyed. Finally, Dominican Congregation Motherhouse is analyzed with regard to its architectural characteristics. Four parts that include geometric unit's 'disposition', 'shape and size', 'angle', 'connection' are categorized for the analysis. Through the analysis, it intends to expose underlying principles of spatial organization embedded in the project.
