Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to consider the process of the Kansei (sensibility) of “roof garden” through the journey of Le Corbusier (1887-1965) in 1911 and his architectural works from the viewpoint of Kansei-philosophy. We analyzed Le Corbusier's descriptions extracted from his records from the journey Le Voyage d'Orient (1965), and his work collection Le Corbusier & Pierre Jeanneret Œuvres complètes, vols.8. We found that Le Corbusier modernized these three themes (“material”, “composition” and architectural “form”) in the stage of his architectural activity. That is, he integrated the traditional “garden” into the new landscape of “roof garden”.
