Chang Hyon-Gwang(1554-1637) compared the relationship between Ipam and the 28 places with that of the Polestar and 28 constellations. And he considered the ipam to be the core of the universe. This paper aims to identify the meaning of christening to the places for him. I analyzed contents of Chang's <Ipamgi>, <Yoehunseol> and <Munseol> which preserved the traditional view of the site and writings. As a result, christening to the natural places mean that promote the environment for housing. It is a architecture by itself.
