In Harmony With Nature
The Physical Elements of Nature (water & earth) are the primary materials used in this design.
PROJECT ELEMENTS… the Art of Design.
We use the Visual Elements of Art, including line, color, texture, value, space, shape, form, and scale to create our landscape design compositions. These visual elements are the fundamental building blocks that we use to create inspiring and memorable works of landscape architecture. Below are examples of how we use these design elements in Landscape Architecture.
-
LINE
The way that two points in space connect... indicates movement and direction.
-
COLOR
Used to portray mood, perception, communication, depth, and light.
-
TEXTURE
Represents how an object appears or feels… can be visual or tactile.
-
VALUE
Refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. It creates contrast and defines form.
-
SPACE
Defines the area within and around objects… can be occupied or empty space.
-
SHAPE
Two-dimensional space that is outlined, creating balance, harmony, and interest.
-
FORM
Three-dimensional physical object that has volume, depth, and occupies space.
-
SCALE
Defines how elements within a composition relate to each other and the overall design.
