The purpose of this paper is to consider the process that Kansei (sensibility) of ‘roof’ on the work of Le Corbusier (1887-1965) in the journey is converted into the modern architectural concept from the viewpoint of Kansei-philosophy. We analyze Le Corbusier's descriptions extracted from Le Corbusier's records from the journey Le Voyage d'Orient (1965), and his work collection Le Corbusier & Pierre Jeanneret Œuvres complètes, vols.8. We can extract 5 non-modern themes concerning ‘roof’ (‘material’, ‘form’,‘color’,‘toplight’ and ‘landscape’), and that Le Corbusier modernizes these 4 themes in the earlier stage of his architectural activity, and afterwards, he transforms them into the ambiguous (modern and non-modern) concept. On the other hand, Le Corbusier makes ‘landscape’ to the theory ambiguous concept in the early stage of his activity. We can say that the memory of Le Corbusier's hand in journey is not simply referred and quoted, or rather than being forgotten, the Kansei of journey is converted into the Kansei of architectural creation beyond his intention.
