- 3. A path isa track or way worn by footsteps , trail, route, course or a line of movement. Paths can be defined as: • Linear landscape spaces for travel • Linking forms that create networks of circulation in the landscape • Linear surfaced areas 67
- 4. Topographical paths Different typesof Paths Degrees of Intervention (High to Low) Ledge Paths CuttingsRidge Paths Spiral and Zigzag PathsStepped Path & Staircases 68
- 5. Water paths • Thedesign of linear water bodies and the design of pathways adjacent to natural or constructed water bodies. 69
- 6. Built paths Streets Backs CoveredWalks Raised Walks Streets 70
- 7. Vegetation paths Avenues Forest Paths Green Tunnels HedgedPathsMeadow Paths 71

- 9. An edge canbe defined as: 1. The linear interface between two spaces or regions of a landscape that have different functions and/or physical characters. 2. In-between linear zone 3. Interlock 4. An Eco tone 5. A boundary 6. A horizon. 73
- 10. Ecotone • An ecotoneis a transition area between two biomes. • It is where two communities meet and integrate. • The circular boundary of the part of the earth's surface visible from a particular point, • Horizons are visual and symbolic edges where earth or sea meets sky. Horizons 74
- 11. Topographical edges Different typesof edges Spurred edges Stacked edges Banks Ridges Ditches 75
- 12. Steps as edges Cliffsor chasam Topographical edges 76
- 13. Vegetation edges Soften edges Colonisingedges • Ecotone are ‘Colonising edges’ Hedges Shrubby edges Meadowed edges Forest edges 77
- 14. Water’s edges Beaches Platforms, piersand broad walks Promenades Wetlands and marginal water places 78
- 15. Built edges Buildings Buttressed andindented walls Permeable structures 79
