Axial Conditions
AXIS. An imaginary line about which a form, area, or plane is organized.
Circulation
CIRCULATION. Represents design elements of both movement and rest,
setting the pace, mood, atmosphere, and experience of a landscape.
Geometry
Grid
GRID. A system of coordinates used in locating the principle elements of a plan
while creating an understandable pattern.
Hierarchy
HIERARCHY. Refers to the physical form of rank ordering of spaces or
features, communicating value and importance while adding organization.
Points of Transition
Structuring Elements STRUCTURING ELEMENTS are physical forms that define space,
create units, articulate circulation, suggest movement, or develop
composition

5 FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF
PLANTING DESIGN COMPOSITION
LINE the essence of plant form
FORM the overall outline or silhouette of a plant
MASS 3-dimensional grouping of plants
TEXTURE the surface qualities of plants
COLOR the reflection of the different bands of light on
an object
Balance
Emphasis
Proportion
Repetition
Rhythm
Scale
Sequence
Simplicity
Symmetry
Variety
ELEMENTS
= Physical aspects
COMPONENTS = Abstract part
of
an object (plant) or objects along an
imaginary or real axis in a
landscape composition.
When
mass is distributed equally on both
sides of the axis, a composition is
said to be in balance.

THE PLANTING DESIGN
Emphasis
of
an object or its size relative to
another object. Proportion exists
the moment two objects are put
together. Absolute proportion is
the size or scale of an object.
Relative proportion is an objects
perceived size in relationship to
another object in space.
Repetition is
a
design principle at regular or
irregular intervals. As a design
tool, it creates a sequence of
movement or pattern in the garden.
Rhythm of form, color, or texture
intensifies the plant composition.

Step 5: COMPOSING
THE PLANTING
design must have both
absolute or relative scale.
Absolute
or
human
scale refers to the
relationship between the
viewer
and
the
landscape.
Relative
scale establishes the
apparent size of an object
or space produced by the
actual size of its parts.
