Abstract
Zen gardens; It is a garden concept that was born and developed in
the Far East as a result of the "zen" culture and has taken its place
in the western geography today. These gardens contain sand, rocks,
grass, etc. They are known as dry gardens created with the use of
natural materials. It is often said that zen gardens represent nature
and the earth.
It has been learned that Zen gardens have healing effects thanks to
their peaceful and relaxing effects. In this study, the design
features of zen gardens were compiled as a result of literature reviews
and the zen garden types in the western geography were examined and
interpreted through visuals.
