On the theory of modern architecture, standardization is an important theme to realize rationality and functionality. Kawakita is an architect who studied standardization of furniture on the theoretical basis of modern architecture. As a contemporary issue, it was also an attempt which had been done during the period of Kawakita's "architectural science supremacist". That means it was one of his "scientific" experiments. By investigating the concept of "model" which was a theoretical basis of his standardization of furniture, he interpreted the concept of "model" from the article of Adolf Behne, and put generality and sociality on it as its character. And Kawakita's concept of "model" is his idea on architecture of integration of "sciences" and its generalization, then it got a word and a concept as "model". Also, he reckoned that "technique" would make it possible of integration of "sciences" and creation of generality, which means "model". This relationship between "science" and "technique" continues from architectural theory to koseikyoiku (study of construction). From these investigations, Kawakita's standardization of furniture which started on a theoretical basis of modern architecture and continued to koseikyoiku, could be positioned as a concrete example which shows a continuation of his idea on the activity.
