The study deals with comparative landscape theories in the orientation and identification of landscape morphology. Finding multiple landscape design concepts evolving with times between Eastern and Western cultures will engenders new discussions and inspirations for spatial-related issues. Following stimulating process of hermeneutic study and cross-cultural surveys, the study will gather concise ideas and perceptions which might have crucial impact on forming both Eastern and Western landscape design cultures. Owning to the strong poetic narratives, oriental landscape conception, especially which derived from Chinese scholar tradition, tends to emphasize on a cosmetic structure which combines with space, time and place. It is not unusual the element of time is compressed into a space-restricted garden or a scroll of painting, and from this time-related viewpoint the study will trace historical and cultural differences between Eastern and Western ideas concerning landscape design. On the other hand, the study will use Western concept of genius loci as backdrop, and put Eastern cultural interpretation of landscape on it to extract the narrative possibility and cultural essence in landscape representation. The result might offer interesting points to redefine landscape theory and its cultural conception. 這篇論文探討比較性的景觀理論，有關景觀形態轉型的方向和定位。發現介於東西方之隨時間演化的多重性景觀設計概念，將衍生出對空間相關議題的嶄新啟發和討論。隨著詮釋學和跨文化觀察的研究過程，這篇文章將搜集那些對東西方景觀設計文化的形成有關鍵性影響的明確概念和認知。由於強烈的詩意論述，東方的景觀概念，特別是那些源自於中國文人傳統的，傾向於強調整合空間、時間和地方的宇宙結構。時間元素壓縮於空間性的庭園或畫軸並非不尋常的，而且從這個時間性的觀點，這篇論文將追溯介於東西方有關景觀設計概念之歷史與文化的異同。再者，這篇論文將用西方之場所精神的概念為背景，並將景觀文化有關之東方詮釋置於其上，以便擷取景觀再現之文化本質和詮釋的可能性。這個研究的結論或可提供重新定義景觀理論與其文化概念之形成的有趣論點。
