Field notes

Plants provide landscape architects with an unlimited repertoire of shapes and rhythms that hugely enhance the design experience. Nature, through its complexity, shows how different systems operate: stones, the earth, possess an amazing structural power that completes and unites the terrain to convert it into a garden, through a strong formal tension. Whilst water teaches us how to acknowledge the principles that life develops and thrives by. Light and shadow offer an emotional experience of space, just like those pathways that – in an early tactile experience – convey a place’s sentimental interpretation.
