Syudy on Graphical Representation of Experience of Cozy Sequence of Landscape Focusing on the Physicality

Abstract

The objective of this study is to represent graphically the structure underlying and forming our experience of walking around traditional Japanese gardens. Particularly, we pay attention to the spatial schema that gives meanings to physical formation of the elements composing the gardens and the person who experiences them. We propose a method of schematizing the characteristics of the experience of space. The summary of the research method of schematizing is as followed: First, we experience the space and make narratives. Then, we group the narratives by KJ method and make sentences of each group. We made rules that we apply words to kinethetic image schemata and rules that we divide the sentences to several scene. Finally, we represent each scene by graphic figure.
