Japanese gardens began during the Asuka period, inspired by Chinese landscapes. They were designed to be spiritual places of peace and meditation. Traditional Japanese gardens can be categorized as hill gardens, dry gardens, or tea gardens. The main elements are water, rocks, bridges, lanterns, fences, trees, and flowers. Rocks and water symbolize yin and yang and are carefully placed according to Buddhist principles. Famous examples include the Zen garden at Ryōan-ji temple, known for its simple rock arrangement, and the stroll garden at Katsura Imperial Villa featuring a large lake with many bridges.
Japanese gardens have a history of over 1000 years, originally appearing on Honshu island. They were influenced by Chinese gardens and designed as either recreational gardens for emperors and nobles or contemplative gardens for Buddhist temples. Japanese garden design principles emphasize asymmetry, simplicity, and using open spaces and elements like plants, rocks, and water to symbolize nature. The Katsura Imperial Palace garden in Kyoto, designed by Kobori Enshu in collaboration with Prince Toshihito in the 17th century, is one of the best examples of traditional Japanese garden design with its large lake area, use of islands and bridges, and platforms for viewing the moon and trees.
Japanese gardens are inspired by principles of Shintoism, Buddhism, and Taoism. They aim to represent nature through the use of natural materials like stone, water, and plants arranged in an asymmetrical and minimalist style. The gardens fuse natural and architectural elements to create a space for spiritual contemplation. Common features include ponds, waterfalls, stones, trees and winding paths that represent mountains and waterways. Different styles include dry rock gardens (karesansui), hill-style gardens (tsukiyama), and tea ceremony gardens (roji).
The document summarizes and compares Chinese and Japanese gardens. Both aim to allow individuals to escape daily life stresses, but Chinese gardens focus on tranquility and reviving the philosopher's spirit while Japanese gardens emphasize rural simplicity and stimulating observation. While using common natural elements like water, stone and plants, the gardens differ in the number of flowers, use of walls/windows versus bridges/lanterns, and number of essential design elements.
Japanese gardens are traditional gardens whose designs are accompanied by Japanese aesthetics and philosophical ideas, avoid artificial ornamentation, and highlight the natural landscape. Plants and worn, aged materials are generally used by Japanese garden designers to suggest a natural landscape, and to express the fragility of existence as well as time's unstoppable advance. Ancient Japanese art inspired past garden designers. Water is an important feature of many gardens, as are rocks and often gravel. Despite there being many attractive Japanese flowering plants, herbaceous flowers generally play much less of a role in Japanese gardens than in the West, though seasonally flowering shrubs and trees are important, all the more dramatic because of the contrast with the usual predominant green. Evergreen plants are "the bones of the garden" in Japan. Though a natural-seeming appearance is the aim, Japanese gardeners often shape their plants, including trees, with great rigour.
A typical Chinese garden is enclosed by walls and includes architectural structures like pavilions connected by winding paths. It also features elements of nature like ponds, rocks, trees, and flowers arranged for aesthetic contemplation. The earliest Chinese gardens date back 3000 years to royal parks of the Shang Dynasty used for agriculture, hunting, and leisure. Over time, Chinese garden design incorporated symbolic structures and followed principles of concealment and surprise to present scenes that unfold along a path. These gardens blend nature, architecture, and philosophical contemplation in a distinctive landscape style that has influenced Eastern and Western horticulture.
Kenrokuen garden in Kanazawa, Japan is considered one of the three most beautiful landscape gardens in Japan. It covers over 25 hectares and contains over 8,000 trees and plants. Key features include Kasumigaike pond in the center, the oldest fountain in Japan, various tea houses, paths winding among beautiful scenery, and use of the nearby castle as borrowed scenery. Kenrokuen exemplifies the characteristics of Edo period strolling gardens and was designated a National Site of Scenic Beauty and later a National Site of Special Scenic Beauty, the highest ranking for gardens.
A typical Chinese garden is enclosed by walls and includes one or more ponds, rock works, trees and flowers, and an assortment of halls and pavilions within the garden, connected by winding paths and zig-zag galleries.

Landscape architecture involves designing outdoor public and private spaces to achieve environmental, social, or aesthetic goals. Key philosophies that influenced garden design include Chinese, Islamic, and Japanese styles. Chinese gardens aim to provide a spiritual connection to nature through careful placement of elements like rocks, water, and plants according to principles of feng shui. Japanese rock gardens use sparse elements like moss and raked gravel to symbolize nature. Landscape design principles address the use of color, form, sight lines, scale, and texture to influence a space.
The Chinese garden is a landscape style that has evolved over 3,000 years. It uses symbolic elements like rocks, water, plants and architecture to represent the balance of yin and yang according to Taoist philosophy. Common features include artificial mountains and ponds used to represent nature in a stylized, miniature form. Pathways are designed to reveal changing views, while plants, trees and structures each carry symbolic meanings. The Lingering Garden in Suzhou is a renowned 400-year-old classical Chinese garden recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its exemplification of the scholar garden style.
The document provides details about several gardens located at the Chicago Botanical Garden, including the Heritage Garden, Rose Garden, English Walled Garden, Bonsai Collection, and Japanese Garden. The Heritage Garden demonstrates historical plant classification and includes a sculpture of Carolus Linnaeus. The Rose Garden features over 150 rose varieties across three acres. The Japanese Garden called Sansho-En spans three islands and incorporates traditional Japanese garden elements like pine trees, dry gardens, and stone lanterns.
Japanese gardens can be found in various locations around the world including Japan, Australia, and the United States. They typically include elements such as water, rocks, stone lanterns, teahouses or pavilions, and enclosures using hedges, fences or walls. Some common styles of Japanese gardens are kanshoh-style viewed from a residence, pond gardens viewed from a boat, tea gardens viewed along a path to a tea ceremony hut, and strolling gardens viewed along a surrounding path.
Japanese gardens are living works of art that change with the seasons. Unlike other traditional gardens, Karesansui gardens do not contain water but instead feature raked gravel or sand meant to symbolize water elements. The act of raking the gravel into patterns resembling waves or rippling water serves an aesthetic purpose and helps Zen priests focus. A Japanese garden's structure is determined by its architecture, with enduring elements like buildings and paths used to represent mountains, islands, rivers, and waterfalls. The garden is ever-changing and never truly finished.
Classical Chinese gardens have a long history dating back over 3,000 years. They are known for their balance, harmony, and ability to capture the essence of nature in a three-dimensional landscape. Key elements include rocks, water, plants, and structures like pavilions and bridges. Chinese gardens can be categorized as either imperial gardens constructed by rulers or private gardens, and they differ in style between northern and southern regions of China. Famous examples include the Summer Palace and Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou.

It then lists several alternative building materials that can help address these issues in a more sustainable and cost-effective way, such as fly ash bricks, hollow concrete blocks, bamboo, and composites. The document emphasizes selecting materials that are locally available, use recycled waste, and require less energy intensive manufacturing to reduce costs while maintaining quality. Government policies and initiatives for developing low-cost and affordable housing are also mentioned.
Mud is an economical and sustainable building material that is abundant worldwide. It has low energy needs and is easily recycled. Various mud construction techniques exist, including cob, adobe blocks, rammed earth, and wattle and daub. Cob involves forming mud and straw mixtures by hand into walls, while adobe uses sun-dried brick formed from clay, sand, straw and water. Rammed earth compacts earth, gravel and lime into strong walls using wooden forms. Wattle and daub uses a lattice of wooden strips called wattle covered in daub, a sticky mud-based plaster. Mud architecture provides affordable housing and helps address issues of resources, energy use and the environment.
The Building Materials and Technology Promotion Council (BMTPC) was established in 1990 to promote the development and use of innovative and affordable building materials and construction techniques. It works to bridge the gap between laboratory research and real-world application. BMTPC supports the production and standardization of cost-effective materials made from waste products. It also develops disaster-resistant construction methods and provides training and resources to help new technologies be adopted. BMTPC has worked on numerous housing projects using materials like fly ash blocks and ferrocement to help low-cost, sustainable construction.
This document discusses bamboo as a building material. It notes that bamboo is a grass, not a tree, but has properties similar to wood like high strength-to-weight ratio. Bamboo has higher compressive strength than materials like wood, brick, and concrete. The document outlines various uses of bamboo in construction, such as walls, foundations, roofing, and scaffolding. It details different shaping and treatment methods for bamboo. The advantages of bamboo are discussed, such as tensile strength, fire resistance, elasticity, and cost-effectiveness. Some disadvantages are its need for preservation and issues with shrinkage and durability.
This document describes a low-cost housing project built in a flood-prone region using local bamboo and other natural materials. The housing units will be assembled using minimal bamboo components and modules secured with strong connections to allow the structures to float during floods. Each unit costs under $2,000 and uses traditional architectural styles distinguished by materials like bamboo, leaves, and recycled oil containers. The design allows for mass production and construction by villagers themselves.
Arches, vaults, and domes are ancient construction techniques used to span spaces without columns. They work by distributing structural forces outward via curving or arched masonry structures. Common types include barrel vaults, groin vaults, and domes built on pendentives. While traditionally used for roofs and ceilings, they can cover large spaces. Advantages include using local materials without wood, providing thermal mass for temperature regulation. Specialized training is needed for proper design and construction to ensure benefits. Limitations may include rejection by local culture, high labor costs, lack of building standards in earthquake areas.
This document provides details on construction techniques using compressed stabilized earth blocks for vaulted structures. It discusses requirements for curing earth blocks for a month before use to allow them to fully shrink. It also emphasizes the importance of accurate and regular block thickness to prevent cracking. The Nubian technique is described where blocks are laid in near-vertical courses and adhere through thin earth plaster. The free spanning technique allows for more horizontal coursing by relying on gravity and load transfer through vault keystones.
This document provides an overview of a proposed rotating tower project in Dubai. It discusses the concept of dynamic architecture where buildings adjust their shape over time. The rotating tower would have 80 floors that each rotate independently, powered by horizontal wind turbines between floors. Each prefabricated floor module would be assembled on site using a lift system, greatly reducing construction time. The rotating floors and energy generation capabilities could make the tower more sustainable and earthquake resistant than static structures.
Eero Saarinen was a Finnish-American architect known for his organic and futuristic designs in the mid-20th century. Some of his most notable works included the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, the TWA Terminal at JFK Airport in New York, and the MIT Chapel in Cambridge, Massachusetts. For these projects, Saarinen employed bold sculptural forms and sweeping curves to create structures like the catenary arch and wing-like concrete shells that captured the spirit of their functions and places. He is also renowned for furniture designs like the Womb Chair that pioneered the use of molded plastic and wood.
Conservation site management plan -vishrambaug vada, puneSoumitra Smart
This document provides information on the conservation and site management plan for Vishrambaug Wada in Pune, India. It includes general information about the site such as its location, climate details, and classification as an individual social property currently used as government offices and a museum. The document describes the site's construction in 1807 under Bajirao Peshwa II, and provides architectural details about its courtyard layout and traditional elements like thresholds, courtyards, verandahs, doors, and windows. The site is owned by Pune Municipal Corporation and designated as a Grade 1 protected site under applicable legislation.
Dubai is characterized as a post-modern city due to its rapid development in the late 20th century that disregarded sustainability and the local environment. It grew through importing inappropriate building forms from other places and planting them in its desert climate, requiring excessive energy use. While inspired by Arabic themes, Dubai's architecture has more in common with global cities like Manhattan than traditional Gulf cities. Dubai emerged as a global economic hub but developed in an unnatural, isolated way that increased car dependency. However, it is now trying to improve walkability and reconnect to its historical roots.
Lavasa is India's first planned hill city being developed near Pune, Maharashtra. It is being planned for a permanent population of 300,000 residents and 20 million annual tourists. The new city is being developed across five towns based on principles of new urbanism and sustainability. Landscaping and reforestation efforts aim to restore the local environment and reduce the city's carbon and water footprints. Infrastructure and amenities will support residents and visitors across the five towns when complete in 2021.
The site visit was conducted to study Avishkar Colony housing developed by MHADA in 1985. It consists of housing for low, middle, and high income groups. The objectives were to assess planning, services, amenities, and socio-economic mix. Low income group plots are 35 sqm with 1.5m service lanes. Middle income groups have larger plots of 20 sqm rooms. There is encroachment of open spaces and services lanes. Roads are in a grid pattern but some are narrow with high traffic. Services like parking, garbage disposal, and fire safety were not properly planned.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

BRIEF HISTORY
Earliest recorded Japanese gardens were the pleasure gardens of the Japanese emperors and
nobles.
Chinese garden had a very strong influence on early Japanese gardens.
The Japanese gardens were modest versions of the imperial gardens of the tang dynasty, China,
with large lakes scattered with artificial islands and artificial mountains.
Layout of the garden was strictly according to the principles of traditional Chinese geomancy or
Feng shui.
The landscapes of these gardens change frequently as the four seasons of japan
pass by them throughout a year.

BASIC PRINCIPLES IN THE DESIGN OF JAPANESE GARDENS :
NATURAL : To make the garden look as if it grew by itself .
ASYMMETRY : To creates the impression of it being natural .
ODD NUMBERS : To support the effect of asymmetry .
SIMPLICITY : To follow the idea of ‘less is more’ .
TRIANGLE : The most common shape in composition of stones and plants .
CONTRAST : To creates tension between elements .
LINES : To create both, tranquility ( calm ) and tension .
CURVES : To soften the effect .
OPENNESS : To indicate interaction between different elements .

Water is used not just for its visual quality, but also for its sound.
The Japanese have learnt to exploit the sound of water in all its various form.
It varies from powerful waterfall to water falling into a water basin, creating different emotions.
It represents the sea, lake, pond or river in nature.
Non geometrical in appearance; in order to preserve the natural shapes, manmade ponds are
asymmetrical.
The bank of the pond is usually bordered by stones
A fountain is sometimes found at the bottom of a hill or hillside or forest.
WATER :

ROCK AND SAND :
The rocks are like the co ordinates of a garden project.
Rocks and water also symbolize yin and yang (in Chinese philosophy it describes how seemingly
opposite may actually be complementary) .
A vertical rock may represent mount Horai, the legendary home of the eight immortals and
a flat rock might represent the earth.
Sand or gravel can represent a beach, or a flowing river .
Rocks with strata or veins should have the veins all going in the same direction, and the rocks should
all be firmly planted in the earth, giving an appearance of firmness and permanence.
Rocks are often used to represent islands and mountains, so conical or dome shaped rough volcanic
rocks would be the obvious choice.(Kansai)
Hard metamorphic rocks are usually placed by waterfalls or streams.
A jagged textured rock gives feeling of timelessness and dignity.
Smooth rocks like water worn stones or glacial boulders convey the feeling of antiquity (ancient past)
especially when combined in an interesting shape are used around lakes or as stepping stones.
Rocks are arranged in careful compositions of two, three, five or seven rocks, with three being the
most common.
In a three-arrangement, a tallest rock usually represents heaven, the shortest rock is the earth, and
the medium-sized rock is humanity, the bridge between heaven and earth.
ROCK AND SAND :

Bridges could be made of stone (ishibashi), or of wood, or made of logs with earth on top, covered
with moss (dobashi).
They could be either arched (soribashi) or flat (hirabashi) or zig–zag in shape. They are always in
harmony with surrounding nature.
Bridges can be painted red if it is used for temple garden, as per Chinese tradition.
Bridges are privileged sites in a japanese garden, where one will linger and take in the beauty of the
landscape, watch the carps swimming in their watery elements, and enjoy the softness of the breeze.
GARDEN BRIDGES :
Stone water basins, (tsukubai) were originally placed in gardens for visitors to wash their
hands and mouth before the tea ceremony.
The water is provided to the basin by a bamboo pipe or kakei, and they usually have a
wooden ladle for drinking the water.
STONE LANTERNS AND WATER BASINS :
6. 25-09-2018

STONE LANTERNS AND WATER BASINS :
A stone lantern (dai-doro) represents the five
elements of buddhist cosmology.
The piece touching the ground represents
chi, the earth; the next section represents
sui, or water; ka or fire, is represented by the
section encasing the lantern's light or flame,
while fū (air) and kū (void or spirit) are
represented by the last two sections, top-
most and pointing towards the sky.
The segments express the idea that after
death our physical bodies will go back to
their original, elemental form.
Fences or sodegaki are screens used to hide any view or element.
They are about 6’ to 7’ high and add colour and texture to the garden.
Material used are bamboo, wood, twigs of bamboo or tree.
GARDEN FENCES AND GATES :

Nothing in a japanese garden is natural or
left to chance.
Each plant is chosen either to hide
undesirable sights, to serve as a backdrop
to certain garden features, or to create a
picturesque scene, like a landscape
painting or postcard.
Trees are carefully chosen and arranged
for their autumn colors.
Moss is often used to suggest that the
garden is ancient.
Flowers are also carefully chosen by their
season of flowering.
Formal flowerbeds are rare in older
gardens, but more common in modern
gardens.
TREES AND FLOWERS :
Some plants are chosen for their religious
symbolism, such as the lotus, sacred in buddhist
teachings, or the pine, which represents longevity.
The trees are carefully trimmed to provide
attractive scenes, and to prevent them from
blocking other views of the garden.
Their growth is also controlled, in a technique
called niwaki, to give them more picturesque
shapes, and to make them look more ancient.
They are sometimes constrained to bend, in order
to provide shadows or better reflections in the
water.
Very old pine trees are often supported by
wooden crutches, or their branches are held by
cords, to keep them from breaking under the
weight of snow.

Moss:
• It is a primitive plant with different varieties.
• It needs damp shady conditions in order to flourish.
• It is most often found in woodland area under the shade of trees
TREES AND FLOWERS :
Serviceberry (zai-furi boku)
In spring, the serviceberry is a charming sight, with its masses of white flowers.
It is considered a symbol of youth in japan.
In fall, it is remarkable for its gold and scarlet foliage and tiny blue berries.
Winter is the perfect backdrop for the silvery bark of the serviceberry,
Its year-round attractions make it the star of garden.
Pine (matsu)
Some have an airy silhouette with widespread branches, others are dense and
compact,
While still others lean over as if battered by the wind.
It creates a quiet, cosy screen that shields visitors from outside distractions.
TREES AND FLOWERS :
Japanese maple (momiji)
It has lacy leaves and magnificent autumn colours, making it a favourite.
It is taken indoors in winter and brought back outdoors in spring.
They are gradually being replaced with amur maples, a hardier species.
Lotus (hasu)
This "flower of buddha", is considered a divine and sacred plant.
The lotus flower, with its lovely, huge corolla, blooms in summer to offer a
fleeting vision of delicate shades of pink and white.
Shrub peony (botan)
They flower in late spring.
Their flowers, in hues of pink, mauve and yellow, last only a few days.
Require considerable attention and winter protection, are a symbol of
prosperity .

TREES AND FLOWERS :
Horsetail (takusa)
It is native to québec and lives in marshy environments. Used as a
substitute for bamboo.
Its simple, pure lines make a clever stand-in for masses of bamboo.
Crabapple (hime-ringo)
The crabapple's abundant white and pink flowers in spring symbolize youth
and renewal.
Rhododendron (tsutsuji)
It has bright pink, red, purple and white blossoms. These charming flowers,
with their delicate petals, symbolize fragile and ephemeral beauty.
Iris (airisu)
They flower from late may to mid-july, in soft tones of pink, blue and white.
Remarkable for its huge flowers.
FISH :
The use of fish, particularly nishiki-goi (colored carp), or goldfish as a decorative
element in gardens was borrowed from the Chinese garden.
Koi were developed from common carp in Japan in the 1820s.
Koi are domesticated common carp (Cyprinus carpio) that are selected or culled for
color.

GARDEN STYLES :
POND GARDEN
The chisen-shoyū-teien ("lake-spring-boat excursion garden") was imported from
China.
It featured a large, ornate residence with two long wings.
Each wing ended in a pavilion from which guests could enjoy the views of the lake.
GARDEN STYLES :
PARADISE GARDEN
They were meant to symbolize Paradise or the Pure Land (Jōdo), where the Buddha sat on a
platform contemplating a lotus pond.
These gardens featured a lake island called Nakajima, where the Buddha hall was located,
connected to the shore by an arching bridge.

GARDEN STYLES :
TEA GARDEN
The style of garden takes its name from the roji, or path to the teahouse, which is supposed to
inspire the visitor to meditation to prepare him for the ceremony.
There is an outer garden, with a gate and covered arbor where guests wait for the invitation to enter.
They then pass through a gate to the inner garden, where they wash their hands and rinse their
mouth.
The path is always kept moist and green, so it will look like a remote mountain path, and there are no
bright flowers that might distract the visitor from his meditation.
GARDEN STYLES :
COURTYARD GARDEN
Originally found in the interior courtyards of palaces, and were
designed to give a glimpse of nature and some privacy to the
residents of the rear side of the building.
They were as small as one tsubo, or about 3.3 square meters.
These tiny gardens were meant to be seen, not entered, and
usually had a stone lantern, a water basin, stepping stones and a
few plants.
12. 25-09-2018

GARDEN STYLES :
DRY ROCK OR ZEN GARDEN
These gardens have white sand or raked gravel in place of water, carefully arranged rocks, and
sometimes rocks and sand covered with moss.
Their purpose is to facilitate meditation, and they are meant to be viewed while seated on the porch
of the residence of the hōjō, the abbot of the monastery.
GARDEN STYLES :
STROLL GARDEN
These gardens have white sand or raked gravel in place of water, carefully arranged rocks, and
sometimes rocks and sand covered with moss.
Their purpose is to facilitate meditation, and they are meant to be viewed while seated on the porch
of the residence of the hōjō, the abbot of the monastery.

GARDEN STYLES :
STROLL GARDEN
There is no inner or outer garden to be found but a path which is made only for a leisurely stroll. One
has to follow a clockwise direction while walking through the path.
It features a small central lake and pond with a path going around it.
Boulders and trees could add extra beauty to this garden and usually they are featured.
Gives an opportunity to reveal the whole garden beauty from different directions.
PHILOSOPHY
• avoid artificial ornamentation
• highlight the natural landscape.
• Plants and worn, aged materials suggest an ancient & natural
landscape.
• express the fragility of existence as well as time's unstoppable
advance.

COMPARISON - Architecture.
Chinese
• Gardens have buildings in the centre of the garden, occupying a large
part of the garden space.
• The buildings are placed next to or over the central body of water.
• The garden buildings are very elaborate, with much architectural
decoration.
Japanese
• the buildings are well apart from the body of water,
• The buildings are simple, with very little ornament.
• The architecture in a Japanese garden is largely or partly concealed.
COMPARISON -Viewpoint.
Chinese
• Designed to be seen from the inside, from the buildings, galleries
and pavilions in the centre of the garden.
Japanese
• Designed to be seen from the outside, as in the Japanese rock
garden or Zen garden; or from a path winding through the garden.
15. 25-09-2018
15
COMPARISON -Use of Rocks.
Chinese
Particularly in the Ming dynasty, rocks were selected for their
extraordinary shapes or resemblance to animals or mountains, and
used for dramatic effect.
They were often the stars and centre pieces of the garden.
Japanese
Rocks were smaller and placed in more natural arrangements,
Integrated into the garden.
COMPARISON -Marine Landscapes
Chinese
inspired by Chinese inland landscapes, particularly Chinese lakes and
mountains
Japanese
Often use miniaturized scenery from the Japanese coast.
frequently include white sand or pebble beaches and rocks which
seem to have been worn by the waves and tide, which rarely appear
in Chinese gardens

MODERN DEVELOPMENT - (1912 to present)
• During the Showa period (1926–1988), many traditional gardens were built
by businessmen and politicians.
• After World War II, the principal builders of gardens were no longer private
individuals, but banks, hotels, universities and government agencies.
• The Japanese garden became an extension of the architecture of the
building.
• New gardens were designed by architecture school graduates, and often
used modern building materials, such as concrete.
• Modern gardens have taken a much more radical approach to the
traditions.
MODERN DEVELOPMENT - Hyakudanen
• One example is Awaji Yumebutai, a garden on the island of Awaji, in
the Seto Inland Sea of Japan, designed by Tadao Ando.
• It was built as part of a resort and conference centre on a steep slope,
where land had been stripped away to make an island for an airport.
• One of the most distinctive features in the complex is the
Hyakudanen or "hundred stepped gardens"
• It is a group of 100 flower beds (small square gardens) on an incline,
arranged in grids spread over several levels.
• The "hundred" refers to the number of mini-gardens and not the
steps, as there are 1575 steps and 235 flights.
17. 25-09-2018

MODERN DEVELOPMENT - Hyakudanen
• An incredible terraces made of 100 squares were created in
memory of the Great Hanshin earthquake, which killed 6434 people.
• These squares are planted with flowers, meanwhile at night a
subtle light makes it even more compelling and enigmatic.
• Every square features a range of versatile flowers, therefore a
colourful diversity makes it look very lively, vivid and even amusing.
• This is a Japanese approach to death – By celebrating life the
spirits of living and dead unite.
