1. Line forms in landscape design emphasize real and imaginary lines that create spaces and dictate traffic flow. 2. There are five basic line forms - rectilinear, arc and tangent, arc and radii, arc and arc, and curvilinear - that each create spaces differently depending on the design style. 3. Choosing the appropriate line form is important to accentuate the best elements of the landscape and achieve the desired experience depending on whether a more formal, informal, natural or flowing style is wanted.
