Greg Lynn has been watched as a future architect that we have known him as a digital architect. As a result, this study tried to understanding his architectural concept by researching his works. The objects of this study were his thirteen projects selected in his website, have been already built, been constructing, their experimental value have been highly evaluated. In conclusion, first, Greg Lynn understood the architecture is animated. Secondly, he actively uses digital technology that creates unexpected new design for his works. Lastly, he intends the consolidation of a design process and building system as a whole.

Currently, the space design has been expressed the space in kinetic design by digital technology. To look into the concept of digital design, there is the tendency to pursue the harmony of the nature. The digital space designer, Greg Lynn who has been paid attention by international researchers. To compared with the reputation of his works, the information about him has been limited to us. The purpose of this study was to investigate the Greg Lynn's digital design matrix toward the design process in his representative 11 works in his website; www.glform.com. The contents analyses methods were used in this study. Greg Lynn's internet website survey was carried out in the respects of thinking method, space formative language and animate form. The major results of this study are as follows: \circled1 Lynn's design concept and digital methodology were affected by Paolo Soleri and Peter Eisenman: natural architectural concept and digital animate form \circled2 Lynn's space formative languages were 10 items; blob, blob, fold, strand, shred, flower, skin, teeth, branch and lattice \circled3 Lynn's digital design matrix was divided into 3 types; MS(Mass + Structure), PC(Path + Circulation) and FD(Form + Detail) \circled4 According to the analysis of longitudinal, his works have been changed from the MS and PC to FD. This research will be a basic reference to understand digital space design.
