Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to consider the Kansei (sensibility) of the architect during his journey concerning ‘Garden’ as the Source for ‘Roof Garden (toit-jardin)’ through the text analysis according to the viewpoint of Kansei-philosophy.This paper deals with Le Corbusier's journey to the east (1911). At first, we analyze Le Corbusier's descriptions extracted from Voyage d'Orient carnets and Le voyage d'Orient. We find that Le Corbusier describes various themes for ‘garden’ concerning ‘material’, ‘composition’ and architectural ‘type’. As a result, we can say that during the transitional process from the Carnets to the Voyage, Le Corbusier describes the relationship between the body and the natural landscape.
