Hence it briefly explains the philosophical notion of presence in art and architecture. The tendencies to define architecture through the notion of presence delineate that the history of architecture has been a significant source for the theoretical framework to clarify the presence. As prominent modern architects have presented clarity in their designs, this article explores the fundamentals of architecture for dealing with the clarification. The description of the principles shows that they are related to order, natural light, space, and form, as the primary concerns of design. These principles then present several features by the clarification of the presence. The paper finally explains the specific outcomes of the clarification.} }
