| Research Abstract |
This study, as an attempt to explore the attractiveness of Japanese Zen gardens, investigated the relationship between their surrounding spatial layout and observers’ aesthetic evaluation. We used a 3D laser scanner to measure the spatial layout of 18 traditional gardens in Kyoto. In addition, we conducted a psychological experiment by using a virtual reality setup. Participants observed the gardens’ environments and evaluated them with respect to beauty, interest, and calm. An analysis showed that the aesthetic evaluation of Japanese Zen gardens increases with their environmental enclosure, suggesting that it also contributes to their unique attractiveness.
