This study focuses on landscape design as practicing processes in designing workshop not regarded as modern system of depressing subjectivity. Hokkaido has been treated advanced area of landscape design. But residents are not always participating to construct public gardens. Administrative organizations of public parks want symbolic and clearly meaningful shapes by appropriating previous exiting objects in designing such spaces for the reasons of constructing needs. But designers regard these as capricious things and want more good shapes. These ‘good’ designs are often not objective and cannot explain by official needs. Hence, official symbolic objects are sighted on central symbolic place in the landscape and ‘good’ designed objects are sighted on peripherals and not conspicuous. In these processes, ‘aesthetical’ values without rationality or functionality in modern context are acted as agencies. Because of their ambiguous values, designers’ practices are rather not symbolic and peripheral on the landscape. These practiced designs have interpretative flexibility for each subject to feel the whole landscapes. On these processes of designing landscape, ambiguous agencies are acted to subjects. Landscapes are constructed not only meaningful symbolic objects but also rather not meaningful shapes felt by each subjects. These agencies are peripheral values constructed in each subjects’ experiences: and the processes of acting these agencies in landscape design processes are respected as subjects’ possibility.
