The study focuses on analysis of his art works and correlation between the plants and them, and spatial composition of the garden based on the literature and Kim Chong-Young’s art works, followed by the process of garden design which examines each element of garden. The components of spatial composition have been reinterpreted into visual, auditory, olfactory elements and humanities, which proves their values to be considered in the garden design. Finally, this study demonstrates the feasibility of establishing the garden which applies internal and external form of Kim Chong-Young’s art works to the plants reflecting symbol, humanities, philosophy and the spirit of Seonbi.
