This document discusses different landscape architectural forms and their characteristics. It describes the formalized forest as having a geometric organization under a dense tree canopy that can provide experiences like echoes, stillness, and hiding. Parkland is described as having large open grassy spaces with clusters of trees and a naturalistic but sometimes bland form. Hedged and herb enclosures are dense, human-scale spaces that use living walls of various textures to provide sensory experiences. Public squares are diverse, flexible public spaces that can unify an area and become landmarks.
