The purpose of this paper is to consider the Kansei of the architect Le Corbusier (1887-1965), concerning the change process of the architectural concept on “garden” from the viewpoint of Kansei-philosophy. Le Corbusier defines the natural garden on the ground as “liberated land (le sol libéré)” and the artificial garden above the ground as “conquered land (le sol conquis)”. According to his definition, we can classify several types of Le Corbusier's garden; “front garden”, “courtyard”, “piloti”, “terrace”, “hanging garden”, “loggia” and “roof garden”. As a result of our analysis, we show that Le Corbusier's architectural concept on garden preserves the natural and the artificial.
