Japanese Gardens: History, Typologies & Elements | Landscape Architecture | K...Gary Gilson
- Early Japanese gardens originated from sacred Shinto places marked by pebbles and later imperial palace gardens for recreation. They were influenced by Chinese philosophy and Buddhism.
- During the Heian period, aristocrats built large Shinden and Pure Land gardens. Zen Buddhism influenced simpler tearoom and rock gardens in the Kamakura period.
- The Edo period saw the development of large strolling gardens. Small urban tsuboniwa also emerged. Modernization in the Meiji era incorporated Western elements.
- Traditional Japanese gardens use scaled elements and symbolism. They feature water, islands, and carefully placed rocks and sand to represent nature. Buildings provide views and contemplation spaces.
This document discusses various natural landforms that are important components of landscape architecture, including valleys, plateaus, mountains, plains, hills, lowlands, ridges, swales, and scenic highways. It describes the key characteristics of each landform, such as V-shaped valleys formed by water and intermontane plateaus bordered by mountains. The document emphasizes that landscape architects should preserve and accentuate natural landforms and work with existing drainage ways and natural contours to minimize disruption of the landscape.
The document discusses several topics related to climatology and its importance for building design. It provides background information on climate zones in India and how climatic elements like temperature, humidity, and wind affect thermal comfort and building performance. It outlines factors to consider for natural ventilation, daylighting, and shading design. The document also discusses earlier building construction practices and how climate services can help define building standards.
The document provides details about Italian Renaissance gardens, including their history and key features. It focuses on the Villa d'Este gardens in Tivoli, Rome as a prime example. Specifically, the Villa d'Este gardens were constructed in the 16th century and are famous for their profusion of fountains, with over 50 fountains fed by an intricate system of canals and pipes without pumps. The gardens also feature elaborate parterres, statuary, and other architectural elements laid out along a central axis.
This document discusses how landscaping techniques can be used for microclimate control. It describes how trees, shrubs, and other plantings can provide shade to reduce solar radiation and surface temperatures. Plants also help control air temperature, humidity, air velocity and wind speed through evapotranspiration and by inducing or channeling air flow. Landscaping elements can be arranged to deflect or filter wind and pollution. Trees and other vegetation also help control glare. The document outlines various hard landscaping elements like walls, fences and slopes that can direct airflow, as well as soft landscaping elements such as trees, lawns and pools which aid microclimate control through shade, moisture retention and evaporative cooling.
Natural ventilation utilizes differences in air pressure, temperature and wind to ventilate buildings without mechanical systems. There are several types of natural ventilation including stack ventilation, wind towers and courtyard effects. Stack ventilation uses temperature differences to draw warm air out of tall rooms or structures. Wind towers cool incoming air through evaporation before distributing it inside. Courtyards create rising warm air that is replaced by cooler air entering at lower levels. Proper building orientation, openings, cross ventilation and tall structures can optimize natural airflow. While it provides free ventilation, natural ventilation has less control over air quality than mechanical systems.
The French formal garden, also known as the jardin à la française, is characterized by symmetry and order imposed on nature. Key features include a central residence surrounded by geometric parterres, broderies, fountains, sculptures, and alleys framed by trimmed hedges and trees. The Gardens of Versailles epitomize this style, with parterres, fountains like the Latona Fountain, and alleys radiating from the palace in a radial design planned by landscape architect André Le Nôtre. Order, symmetry, and the mastery of nature over wilderness are hallmarks of the French formal garden style.
This document proposes a commercial/recreation center in Sachin, India on a 14,500 sqm flat land site that is surrounded by residential areas. It notes a lack of entertainment, public gathering spaces, and food options in the area. The proposed development would include retail shops, a supermarket, restaurants, a multi-function hall, amphitheater, and parking. It would have a total built-up area of 26,100 sqm and ground coverage of 10,440 sqm. The document also provides a case study of Ansal Plaza, a successful retail complex in Delhi with 90 shops across three blocks wrapped around a central plaza.

Vaux-le-Vicomte was another influential early French formal garden noted for its perfection of symmetry and unity of design.
Japan is an island nation located in East Asia known for its 1000 year history of Japanese gardens. Japanese gardens were originally designed for contemplation at Buddhist temples and later incorporated influences from Chinese gardens. They aimed to symbolize islands in seas covered with forests through the use of rocks, water, and carefully trimmed trees and flowers. Key elements included ponds, waterfalls, stone lanterns, and bridges built in an asymmetrical style focusing on simplicity, contrast, and the use of odd numbers of elements.
Today, in many parts of Japan and the western parts of the world the traditions of Japanese garden art are still maintained. The intensity of expression, continue to inspire many artists that aspire to create a personal Japanese garden of their own. They are popularly known as zen gardens.

Passive cooling techniques maximize natural heat removal without mechanical devices. They rely on evaporation, convection and radiation. Some key techniques include:
- Natural ventilation uses wind pressure differences and tall spaces to induce air flow.
- Shading reduces solar heat gain through overhangs, louvers and window placement.
- Courtyards and wind towers use thermal stacks to circulate air.
- Earth air tunnels and evaporative cooling take advantage of underground temperature stability and water evaporation to lower indoor temperatures naturally. Passive down draught and roof sprays also enhance evaporative cooling. Together, these minimize cooling loads through strategic design.
The document discusses curtain wall systems. It begins with an introduction defining a curtain wall system as a non-structural outer covering that keeps weather and occupants in/out.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

5. The Existing Site
Currently the site is a vacant
roof terrace.
There is a 1m height metal
railing along the perimeter of
the terrace.
There is also a perimeter
scupper drain and a PVC pipe
along its perimeter.
There are scattered chairs at
the terrace (students have been
using for relaxing).
There are several surface crack
lines on the concrete floor slab
Flat concrete slab should be able to cater for
the walkway pavements and small planter
boxes but perhaps not heavy loads such as
water ponds.

10. Site Opportunities and Challenges
• The site has an excellent high views of the campus lake and
buildings.
• It is located at the end of the corridor of Level 7. Level 7 consists
of classrooms which need a quiet conducive environment.
• As such, the site is suitable to be utilised as a quiet passive
recreation area. Perhaps as a place to enjoy the view, de-stress
after heavy lectures or a place to chill. There can be also quiet
study or waiting areas in between classes or just a place to
meditate and reflect on events of the day.
• Besides its usage and views, the landscape proposal has to take
into account safety, comfort - the need to shade from the
afternoon sun, planting materials that can be accommodated by
the existing floor slab, drainage and maintenance requirements.
10
11. Design Criteria
• Spatial Planning- A quiet place for students to hang out, chill and
de-stress.
• Low-noise generated so as not to disturb classrooms
• Safe Place - Railing, floor and wall.
• Comfortable Space- Thermal comfort, tree shade and breeze.
• Attractive Roof Terrace- green plants, aesthetically pleasing.
• Social interaction, cosy corner and chill out corner.
• Quiet Corner- To relax, study, unwind and have a quiet time.
• Green Initiatives- Planting at 7th level, to provide shade, to cool
wall/roof terrace, to buffer the heat from afternoon sun at the
full glass wall, plants to soften hard wall, solar lighting.
• Ease of maintenance- plant, cleanliness, non obstructed drainage
flow, reduce need for pruning and grass cutting.
11
12. Design Elements
The following design elements are proposed:-
• The entrance statement to the landscape deck – proposed as
the “Zen Deck” due to its need to be quiet, passive area to
enjoy the breathtaking views.
• The Viewing Deck to enjoy views and relax.
• The Chill Zone with a gazebo and seating area for meditation
and reflection (basically to unwind).
• The Quiet Zone with roof canopy and seating area for study.
• Planting materials for shade, softening effects, screening of
the stairwell glass wall. Flowering plants at planter boxes to
provide colour and aesthetics to an otherwise stressful
campus day.
12
13. Design Elements (contd.)
• Planter boxes to contain soil and planting materials which can be
accommodated by the existing roof slab structure. Creeper plants
on trellis to screen and cool the glass wall at the staircase.
• LED lighting, solar lighting to minimise wiring.
• Recycling bins.
• Adequate floor drainage and downpipes to avoid ponding at floor
slab.
• Outdoor seats which are durable and weather-proof.
• Walkway pavements and pavement floors at Viewing and Chill
Zones which are non-slip and durable.
• Raised timber floors at Quiet Study Area to demarcate the zones.
13
14. The Design Elements
Walkway and planting at roof
terrace – greenery at roof level!

17
18. Although it will be very soothing to add water
elements to the Zen Deck – it was decided to omit
the pond and water feature due to the space
constraint (need usable space for chilling and study
area), the potential load on the existing concrete
roof slab and water seepage problems (as there
are classrooms below).
Nevertheless the
Zen “calm and
passive” effect
can be
promoted for
students to chill
and de-stress
18
19. Small shady trees
which are easy to
maintain and will not
drop small leaves that
may clog underground
pipe drainage
Small groups of flowering plants to
add colour (and a bit of contrast ) for
the calm and serene Zen Deck

21. The green wall – creepers on
vertical trellis to screen the glass
wall at the adjacent staircase
area. The creepers allow privacy
yet allow glimpse of the garden
Example of slightly raised timber
flooring to be used at the Quiet
Seating area.

49. The Maintenance Plan
The Cost Plan provides for maintenance by the contractor of the completed planting for a period of 12
months. The maintenance include watering, weeding, pruning, fertilising, spraying and clearing of
unnecessary growth etc, and any other horticultural management as deemed necessary for the proper
growth of plants.
1. Fertiliser programme for trees and shrubs
• Compound fertiliser (NPK : 15:15:15)
• Application rate : 150 gram/tree/every month
100 gram/shrub/every month
From the end of planting until the end of maintenance period, the contractor is required to replace
dead, stolen and dying plants or those severely damaged by pests or diseases to the current sizes of the
dead, stolen or dying plants and true to type at the contractor’s own costs.
After the expiry of the 12 months maintenance period, the fertiliser programme will be carried out by
the university’s maintenance team. It is important for the maintenance team to also prune the planting
materials, clean the pavements and check all sub-soil drainage and downpipes to ensure no blockage.
As such, frequent (3 times a week) cleaning of leaves is important.
Perhaps, sponsorship can be sourced for the construction as well as maintenance of the project.
Sponsors such as paint companies may like to carry out their CSR effort at the university.

50. Conclusion
The “Zen Deck” landscape proposal was derived after analysis of the site and its surroundings, and the
need for use of the space. It is currently a vacant roof terrace which has potential to be fully utilised as a
passive recreation zone.
The proposal seeks to take advantage of the excellent view of the lake from the site.
The main components of the project are the Entrance Statement, the Walkway, the View Deck, the Chill
Zone and the Quiet Zone. These zones all share the enjoyment of the proposed ornamental plants
which will not only beautify and soften the building, but also provide relief and help to de-stress
students from intense academic activities. The area will also accommodate students who wish to catch
up on some reading in between classes and also serves as a meeting area.
The selection of plant materials and street furniture caters for both aesthetics and function.
The Zen Deck will be a major landmark for the campus and should be implemented as it will bring
benefits to both students and management alike at an affordable cost.
