Contemporary Exterior Design. Del Mar, California.

Landscape design entails the creation and ornamentation of gardens, yards, grounds, parks, and other outdoor spaces. Landscape design is used to improve the appearance of buildings, public spaces, recreational places, and parks. It is a decorative art form associated with architecture, urban planning, and gardening.

Even the greatest metropolises are surrounded and penetrated by the vegetative environment that blanketed most of the Earth's continents before people began to construct. Garden design, as well as efforts to protect and promote sustainable open space in and around cities, are all attempts to keep in touch with the authentic pastoral, rural landscape. By filling open spaces in cities, gardens and created landscapes establish a continuum in space between structured cityscapes as well as the open rural landscapes outside. Furthermore, gardens and landscaped landscapes offer a unique form of chronological continuity. Structures, art, and sculptures may outlast single plants, but plants continuously grow and transform to give a continuous temporal dimension that static buildings and artwork cannot.

Design is a significant element of landscape architecture's profession, although it is by no means all of it. Landscape architecture encompasses planning and design, plan outlines, master planning, urban design, and environmental planning, and is defined as "the art of organizing land and the items on it for human use and enjoyment."

The majority of the population is aware of how to keep their gardens and landscapes in good shape by watering the plants and pruning the shrubs and trees. However, not everyone understands how to properly plant their outside areas. Wouldn't it be good to be able to stare out your living room window upon something lovely and fresh-looking? An abstract landscape might be the answer if your fantasy garden has natural lines, great contrast, and vivid colors. This landscaping style is suitable for almost any home, regardless of its design.

For this particular kind of landscape architecture, curvilinear shapes are highly suggested. A softer look is obtained this way rather than harsh lines. However, using squares and triangles in an abstract garden scene is still permissible.

Abstract landscape allows nature to guide you in the placement of hedges, paths, and flowerbeds in an area to balance the other aspects.

There's no need to be concerned about every element being symmetrical. True, when one plans a garden based on symmetry, a balanced, albeit classic, the appearance will be obtained. Traditional isn't what we're striving for with an abstract garden scene. As a result, you must think outside the box and employ asymmetry.

Forget about having hedges that are identical on both sides. Why don't we put one on the left that's tall and one on the right that's short? There's nothing wrong with trying out fresh ideas for landscaping. Instead of having a single focus point in the center, asymmetry allows each corner of the land to be distinct.

An abstract landscape allows a more engaging and captivating atmosphere to everybody since it is current and fresh. There are no restrictions or guidelines. You may use your imagination and create it however you like. You're also urged to play with color combinations to make each element stand out.

A lot of time and work will go into planning and constructing an abstract landscape, when it comes to organization, it's preferable to be a little more laid-back. After all, we're trying for an abstract appearance here. Consider being in a forest where the trees and flowers are not planted in a straight line but rather in random spots. They are dispersed and separated at random distances from one another.

It's also a good idea to use flowers and plants that appear to be unkempt and unruly. This will give your landscape a more natural feel.

Abstract landscape design is all about freedom of expression!

Sanctuary garden. San Diego, California.

Landscape design consists of front and back yards. We implement stripes of greenery on the front. Stripes are a great way of dealing with the large spaces as in this case. It creates an infinite look by expanding the space. The backyard of the design is more intimate. We are having private patio, butterfly garden, and a dry water creek. The last one becomes a pond in the event of storm water. The holistic approach of this design contributes to the enhancing wildlife and biodiversity, cool down the backyard for the visitors, as well as organize the space with its clean lines.

For the front yard we use stripes. This is a great way to deal with large spaces. Stripes can give us infinity lines that escape into the landscape. This principle is well knows in fashion design and we are using it here for main entrance to the property.

First year after the landscape design installation.

EXISTING CONDITION

“We plant a seed of miracle for the years to come”.
A first year after the installation of landscape design we expect plants to find its own ecological balance within the garden. We basically did a surgery to the landscape and establish a new biodiversity, ecosystem, and it’s own microclimate. As plants grow garden become more lush and rich. You can expect a deserved aesthetical result on second-third year after the installation.

‘ We love this garden. Amazing design that really works. We use our outdoor every day now.’

Shemagh. Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

The Shemagh Project is a holistic approach towards mitigating the urban heat island effect, providing comfort to public. The Shemagh Project proposes to target the urban heat island effect by active and passive design approaches. An active part of the design includes the Urban Cooler that directly catches CO2, cleans the air of hazardous chemicals, viruses and bacteria, and significantly cools down the air; and pavilions that reduce UV and IR solar radiation, providing shade from the sun, serve as refreshing areas for the public, and providing useful urban facilities such as restrooms, storage, etc.

The passive part of the design involves using special coatings for the surrounding parking areas, as well as permeable pavement to increase the albedo ratio. The active part of the design project to lower air temperature in a range from 7 to 13 °C locally, depending on the urban cooler setup, while the passive design will reduce surface heat in the range of 5-12 °C. The holistic combination of active and passive approaches allows us to predict that we will be able to cool down the current area to about 13-16 °C from the original site under the no-wind urban environment condition.

The Shemagh Project is replicable and adjustable for other locations across the city. The establishment of a Shemagh Grid around the city center will create more powerful conditions of mitigating the urban heat island effect of the city and reduce the temperature to the level of ‘moderate heat stress’ and ‘no thermal stress’. We propose that such a solution should be implemented in a walkable distance grid across the city not only to mitigate the urban heat island effect on the larger area, but also to provide vital refreshment of public spaces for urban life.

Baroque Garden. Hillcrest, San Diego, California.

Baroque gardens were intended to illustrate the mastery of man over nature.

They were often designed to be seen from above and from a little distance, usually from the salons or terraces of a chateau. They were laid out like rooms in a house, in geometric patterns, divided by gravel alleys or lanes, with the meeting points of the lanes often marked by fountains or statues. Flower beds were designed like tapestries, with bands of shrubbery and flowers forming the designs. Larger bushes and trees were sculpted into conical or dome-like shapes, and trees were grouped in bosquets, or orderly clusters. Water was usually present in the form of long rectangular ponds, aligned with the terraces of the house, or circular ponds with fountains. The gardens usually included one more small pavilion, where visitors could take shelter from the sun or rain.
