• Paul Valéry's literary work ‘Eupalinos’ includes various topics and considerations about making architecture. This paper aims to understand it as a theory of ‘poiesis’. For this purpose, the text is divided into units of meaning and they are rearranged according to the process of making architecture which consists of three terms - before, during, after. This trial, however, reveals that the linear arrangement dose not success enough. For that reason, three domains - real, intellectual, virtual - are introduced to define a three-dimension framework in which it is made clear how ‘spirit’ works for ‘contemplation’ and ‘making’ with ‘body’ and ‘world’.
