Landscape Design: People and Materials Defeat Preconceived Pattern

‘In buildings, we define space mainly with structural material to provide for the function of living which requires shelter. This structural outer shell articulates the form of interior volumes, which are broken into smaller volumes or partial volumes for use and circulation requirements and the best possible relation of void to solid, by which is created a knowledge and feeling of space.   In pure landscape, we drop the structural shell and the volume is defined by earth, paving, water, and ground cover; foliage, walls, structures, and other vertical elements on the sides; and sky, branching, and roofing above.’
