This study created a thematic garden, entitled “Spring revisited”, in the outdoor garden section of the 2017 Goyang International Flower Festival to present the life and ideas of poet Yoon Dongju through garden culture. It used visual narrative techniques to express and present the poet’s life and the value of his literature in the language of space design. Through this method, the garden provided a holistic experience of Yoon Dongju’s selfhood and literature through indirect perceptions experienced in the space rather than as direct experience. The room of wind and time embodied the poet’s life by overlapping small pieces of blue-colored clothing, and fluttering cloths and grasses were used to represent the wind. In the room of night and stars, a black mirror expressed the night sky as a visual embodiment of his poetry. In the road of desolation, a long passage was created with walls on either side to express the desolation and agony of life to the viewers as they walked through the dark space. The path of the writing pad was modeled on a manuscript to convey the meaning of the poet’s path, and the poetic language of the poet’s masterpiece, heaven, wind, stars, and poems, were written there on. The stone grave, flower grave area combined the negative words of “stone grave” with contrasting images of stone and flower to seek a transition in the emotional atmosphere. The poet’s room was a partially open space inspired by a prison cell. A chair and a desk with a writing pad and pen reminded the viewers of the poet and helped them to experience him. The space of spring was a double meaning of the spring time he could not experience and his aspiration for the nation’s independence. At the height of the garden festival, numerous types of beautiful spring plants were presented. The significance of this study lies in its design techniques that enabled a clear presentation of the topic in the garden space to a general stream of visitors combined with the values pursued by the poet.
