Aesthetic

Our view and definition of "aesthetics" is a comprehensive one that necessarily considers and includes all of the ordering systems. Can an urban area be "beautiful" if its inhabitants are financially destitute; if its natural environment is unhealthy; if it is congested with traffic; or if its citizens live in fear of violence and crime? We believe that a truly beautiful community is one in which participants reflect a sense of well-being as measured through a carefully selected range of criterion.

 

We ask, "has the design identified and created an aesthetic sensibility appropriate to the history and culture of the region and its vision of the future?"

  • Landscape Architecture can provide  visual and spatial cohesion to disparate urban form.
  • Landscape architecture often works in collaboration with the fine arts, and can inspire and educate.
  • The landscape architecture can search, identify, and visually express identities appropriate for the surrounding urban fabric and culture.
  • Landscape architecture can create an urban respite:
     

     It can replace grey with green and blue.

    It can replace noise with the sound.

    It can replace autos with bicycles and shoes.

    It can replace garage doors with front porches.

    It can replace concrete with parks and children at play.

     

    .... Within the collaboration of client and designer an interweaving occurs, thus the tapestry of the garden is created ....
