This Study is to compare and analyze two types of `transparency` concept expressd in architecture and garment, which has not only been an important theme in the post-modern expression of architecture but been shown in various types of concept. This study examined the characteristics of transparency and through theoretical studies divided them into four types: frankness (purity, ambiguity, comparison, exposure and eroticism. Purity, building would use the matrial which is transparent glasses for the expprssion of its purity, and clothing would use the transparent matrial for the expression of the natural beauty of human body and the purity of human of itself. Ambiguity is expressed in the outer side of architecture by duplicating transparent materials and by phenomenon of optical illusion and inflection. On the contrary, in garment it is shown in the outward formation of underclothing. Comparison in architecture is expressed by the use of void but opaque materials as well as solid but transparent materials. Extinction is expressed with the visual effect of the context of the surrounding by the use of opaque glass and reflexive glass. In garment the effect of comparison is expressed by the use of mixing transparent materials and opaque materials. Building would express the inside of itself by the way of its exposure, and clothing would also express its frankness through the human body is partly opened or clossed at the same thime, that arises from eroticism of the way of the expression of human feelings.
