About Landscape Architecture

Landscape architecture is a field of knowledge combining both art and science. landscape architecture produces an arrangements of forms, colors, textures and masses in outdoors by combining both natural landscape element and man-made landscape element, in any way horizontally or vertically, and takes account of many activities within the environment. We use the knowledge of landscape architecture to create enjoyable environment which is practical  and artistic. It makes the environment more beautiful, harmony, balance, well-organized, and orderly. In the end the environment will satisfy the needs of human being and all of living creatures live in it, both spiritual and physical.

Much of landscape architecture's theoritical development has drawn heavily upon other disciplines as architecture. One important area of  differentiation, however, is the central  importance of the aesthetic and symbolic configuration of geological, and biological forms and processes, and their ecological interrelationships. 

According to Garret Eckbo, An American landscape architect - notable for his 1950 book,-Landscape for Living, he believes that landscape architecture could and should combine both art and science. He said that e good theory of landscape design, then, must be a theory of form as well of function. It must be artistic as well as practical, in order to produce the maximum for those who will experience work influenced by it.

Landscape architecture must be distinguished from landscape design. A landscape architect possesses a higher level of skill, usually reinforced by a degree, than is possessed by a landscape designer. Landscape architecture calls for a broader skill base and sometimes carries greater responsibility. for example, a city or town ask a landscape architect to design a park. A landscape designer, by contrast, is more likely to work on residential landscaping than on landscaping for a park.

Keep The World Green

I've ever had a dream.. . and I decided to  keep that dream in my mind forever... . Will my dream ever become true???  Who knows..... But I'm sure , what we see in the future  heavily depend on what we've done yesterday, what we do right now, and what we'll do tomorrow....

If you don't mind (But I've insisted.. so you'd better say never mind....:D), I'd like to describe what my dream is all about...

I dream......
I can take my breath very deeply..without being interrupted by any cough at all , so it is likely to be free.... free from smoke, free from air pollution, free from bad smells, free from clouds of toxic fumes, free from the badness.

 
I dream.....
I still can swim in a see-through river....as I used to see when I was a child...It must be free.... free from waste discharge, free from garbage, free from oil, free from bad things polluting the water.

                  It is so.. clear....    .... I even can see my own foot....


I also dream.....
I can walk in a very long walkable pathway connecting one place to anothers, shaded with a long green canopies, so I can feel my soothing sneakers massage my feet along the way.
and I continue to dream...dream..and dream...

Some people might think that it is a no way dream....No wonder... because it is very hard to find  a place like that. Where do we have to go to find them??? to GreenlandS ? (sorry..I think that is my blog's name...not our final destination..:)
