A city is a spatial system that generated in the process of searching for an ideal form. From structure city, we can find paradigms past which worldviews society are instilled. Baroque, to be studied this paper, interpreted as change from ′limitation′ ′infinity′. There many studies investigated Baroque but they see single viewpoint either cosmology or practicality. The purpose study is, therefore, combine these two viewpoints comprehensive understanding what paradigm has formed cities. Practicality revealed by means Space Syntax and our new concept, Urban Entropy Coefficient (: UEC), then related cosmology. We conclude intention was configure Multi-Center layout dynamic function city.
