Abstract
“Creativity"" is an important ability in landscape design. During landscape design process, there are different stages of thinking. Divergent thinking process is the most important stage during the development of the concept. Therefore, this study focuses on the process of divergent thinking. It propose an experimental design, which is more real-life situation, so that the participants can actual doing design in the fMRI scanning process. According to our finding, that the design process compared to just depict an existing plan activate left middle frontal gyrus (left prefrontal cortex). It is correspond to Geol’s (2014) “Frontal Lobe Lateralization Hypothesis” that landscape design refinement and detailing stage are related to left prefrontal cortex.
