The purpose of this paper is to make an analysis of Louis Sullivan's architectural thought focusing on his idea of 'mobile equilibrium.' We made clear that for him the idea is the law of all things in nature, and the principle which must be expressed in man's work of art. In the end, we explained how he expressed the idea of 'mobile equilibrium' in his work through analyzing his last work of architectural ornament.

The purpose of this paper is to make clear how the "mobile equilibrium", which is essential concept in Louis Sullivan's architectural thought, is expressed in his building design. We analyzed his facades focusing on the vertical elements (pier, mullion, etc.) which have the most primitive meaning for Sullivan, from two points of view; the composition method of facade, and the ornamental motifs. As to the former, he gradually made the composition synthesized to visualize the "mobile equilibrium" of moving force in structure. As to the latter, he used botanical ornament accompanied with the vertical elements, to represent whole facade as one growing organism.

The purpose of this paper is to study how the idea of "mobile equilibrium" is expressed in building design of Louis Sullivan, following our former papers. In this paper, we analyzed the relationship between the idea and the contrasting composition on the facade of his buildings. In many of his facades, "the mass" which is static rigid and massive and "the detail" which is dynamic, organic and delicate are clearly contrasted. By this contrasting composition, Sullivan expressed in his facade the idea of "mobile equilibrium", both "emotional and intellectual", both "subjective and objective".
