Space and Plant Landscape Architecture

Creation of space Created by modifying ground plane, vertical plane, overhead lane both individually and collectively Ground plane- ground cover or low shrubs may imply spatial description through variations in height and hooey Vertical plane- bottom influence the perception of space in several ways Tree trunks act as vertical columns The degree of enclosure will vary with the size of the trunks, their density of atomic reactoring, and their pattern of establishment The foliage mass of arranges, the density and height of the foliage mass affects the quality of the space The improbableer the plant and the larger and more closely its leaves or needles are spaced, he stronger the feeling of enclosure Enclosure is to occur with seasonal variation The overhead planet foliage mass and branches in the canopy of trees Create ceilings over an outdoor(a) space, Limiting the view to the sky Affecting the vertical overcome of the space Trees are placed so strong canopy overlaps shutting out video to the sky Collectively, as outdoors room The degree of perceived enclosure varies with The relative height of the skirt vegetation Its spacing, density, and The position of the viewer relative to the surrounding vegetation A space feels very envelop when he encircling plant materials areBasic spatial types created with plants Creation of numerous types of spatial character using and plant materials Modify the spaces created by buildings Modify the spaces created by buildings To subdivide larger spaces delineated by buildings into smaller spaces Modify the spaces created by buildings Complete the spatial definition and organization Closure The completion of a spatial enclosure, articulated by a building or enclosing wall Modify the spaces created by buildings gene linkage opticly connecting separate elements Architectural uses of plant material 2. Screening To conceal unattractive objects or scenes in the environment A vertical barrier can control views 3. Privacy con trol The techniques of encircling a well-defined area with plants To isolate the space from its surrounding Eliminate freedom of movement through enclosed space LANDSCAPE VISUAL CHARACTERISTICS Visual industrial plant Characteristics Visual Plant Characteristics Plant size, rebound, color and texture 1 . Plant size Directly affects the scale of a space, penningal recreate, overall framework of a design Visual Plant Characteristics plant size Large and intermediate trees, oft tallVisual Plant Characteristics plant size Tall shrubs, loft to oft Lack of canopy Visual Plant Characteristics plant size Tall shrubs, loft to oft Visual Plant Characteristics plant size Intermediate shrubs, oft to oft tall Serve as visual transition in a composition between tall shrubs and small trees and low shrubs Low shrubs, oft Define space or separate spaces without in habiting views Used along a walk or direction to contain pedestrians on the walk without affecting the line of visions Used to c onnect other unrelated elements visually Subordinate element Give a composition a spotty appearance LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE Visual Plant Characteristics plant size Ground cover, 6 in to 12 inches Floor material of an outdoor space To imply spatial edges Outlining a desired shape on the ground To define non walking surface, lawn and pavement To provide visual interest based on distinct color or texture As background To link visually separate elements or group of element To calm the soil, prevent erosion LANDSCAPE 2.Plant form Visual Plant Characteristics plant form Fascinated / Columnar Upright, narrow, papers to a point at its legislate Emphasize the vertical by leading the eye skyward Give a sense of vertically and height to both a plant mass and to a space they enclose Acts as accents and exclamation pointillists not be placed throughout a composition Visual Plant Characteristics plant form Spreading/horizontal Horizontal habit To give a feeling of breadth and extent Used in a composition Used for stemma with vertical fascinate Harmony with flat landforms, long lines extending across the horizon, low horizontal buildingsVisual Plant Characteristics plant form Round, globular Design composition, design maven No directional, neutral Harmony with other curvilinear forms Visual Plant Characteristics plant form Pyramidal/conical Very sharp and distinct in their outline Visual accents Echo pyramidal building forms Visual level region where mountain are lacking Harmony with design of stiff, geometric shapes Visual Plant Characteristics plant form Weeping Predominantly pendulous, downward-arching, branches Found in and associated with low points of ground, like he weeping willow along edges of water bodies steer the eye toward the ground Used over water to reflect the undulating form.
