• A view is an evolving panorama of many blending facets.
• Panorama is a word used to describe a scene that stretches across our filed of view virtually interrupted
• A view is a theme, It’s proper realization resembles the musical creation of variations of a theme.
• A view is a constantly changing mood-inducer.
• A view is a limit of visual space. It transcends the boundaries of the site. It has directional pull. It may evoke a sense of expansive freedom.
• A view is a backdrop. It may serve as a wall of a garden or a mural in a room.
• A view is a setting for architecture.
2. Visible Landscape – DESIGN TREATMENT OF A VIEW
• A view is an impeller. A powerful magnet that draws one attention closer. …show more content…
• Enframement and vista must be compatible.
• If one or more of the elements already exist and are allowed to remain, then the others must be designed in conformity.
• Framing is a way of defining the limits of attention. Trees, overhanging branches, arches, hedges, walls and the like are frequently used as boarder.
6. Visible Landscape – THE TERMINUS
• The terminal feature on which the vista is focused sets the theme to be developed.
• All other elements must support the theme in harmony.
• The eye must see the right thing seen from the right place with just the right enframement. Thus, the focal point at the end of the line of site.
7. Visible Landscape – PROGRESSIVE REALIZATION
• The terminal feature may be displayed in progressive stages.
• If a vista can be seen from several stations along the approaches, the section seen from each station is to be treated separately.
• Interest heightens as the subject is unfolded.
• Often, in moving toward a distant focal point, one can see the outline of the terminal feature.
• As one continues, the feature reveals itself progressively: the component masses, the subcomponents, and finally the details

• Every symmetrical composition must be in balance and equilibrium.
13. Visible Landscape – The Nature of Symmetry
• The symmetrical plan becomes a structural framework, compartmentalizing site features and functions.
• The arrangement must be an expression of the logical relationship of the features.
• Recurring elements divide the plan into units, as each is a segment of the total plan.
14. Visible Landscape – Asymmetry
• In nature, we seldom find the elements of a landscape symmetrically balanced on either side of a line of sight. Yet, visual balance is fundamental to composition and to art.
1.1.1. Visible Landscape – Asymmetric Planning o Asymmetric planning brings us into closest harmony with nature. o Areas may be developed with a fuller regard for its natural landscape qualities. Circulation is more free. Views are of infinite variety. o Each object in the landscape may be seen and enjoyed for itself or its relationship to other landscape elements.
• Creative effort is when the mind permits or directs the eye to focus certain visual images.
• An acceptable equilibrium is not one of form balance, value balance, color balance alone but one of associative balance as
