The pamphlet describes the different styles of distribution pattern of gardens.There are four ways to distinguish the larger landscape by gardens: horizontal distance; vertical distance; geographical distance; and technological distance.

Horizontal distance is using different scale with different materials or element by gardens to divide the same topography within the larger landscape.Vertical distance is using the rood gardens as a substitute ground plane.Geographical distance is walking into the earth, climbing surrounding walls.Using the technological ways by gardens to convert into common culture.

Gardens and the Larger Landscape 4

There are four ways to distinguish the larger landscape by gardens: horizontal distance; vertical distance; geographical distance; and technological distance. Horizontal distance is using different scale with different materials or element by gardens to divide the same topography within the larger landscape.Vertical distance is using the rood gardens as a substitute ground plane.

Geographical distance is walking into the earth, climbing surrounding walls.Using the technological ways by gardens to convert into common culture. Industrial culture developed beyond the control of designer.

The first is horizontal distance. Horizontal Distance is the pattern to use gardens in different scale with different materials or different element like stone path to separate the pathway and plant area in larger landscape. The gardens designed by Roberto Burle Marx for the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro, it uses the pattern of horizontal distance like living spaces,terraces, gardens, patios with fountains, waterspouts, and sculpture exhibitions to distinguish the area in larger landscape. The Pedregal Gardens designed by Luis Barragan in Mexico City is the part of residential development. Gardens designed by spatial, practical and cultural, it also formed a coherent topography within the larger landscape. The gardens designed by the pattern of horizontal distance in the larger landscape to indicate the continuities established by the same topography.

The second is vertical distance. Vertical Distance is the pattern to use gardens in different level.

Gardens can be built on the rooftop as a substitute ground plane in different level. Gardens also can be built in the circular staircase to continue the landscape. The ground garden can be associated with the roof garden. The rooftop garden designed by Le Corbusier of 24 Rue Nungesser et Coli in Paris between 1931 and 1934, it designed a distant as an enclosure and isolation area from the ground and refreshed with the natural world, individuals recovered their association with one another.

The third is geographical distance. Geographical Distance is the pattern to use gardens built into the climbing retained walls on the surface of the earth. Gardens can be complex that combined different culture within traditional gardens and modern gardens, it symbolize the merging of peace. Gardens exceeded the boundary line of the site and making it engaged with geographical distance. The Wexner Center of the Visual Arts designed by Laurie Olin and Peter Eisenman, located at the corner of the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio between 1983 and 1989 is using the pattern of geographical distance as a garden in a wider landscape.

Technological distance, which using the element of aluminum in the garden to protect the sun from screen and decorate surface. The ALCOA Forecase Gardens designed by Garrett Eckbo between 1957 and 1959, it was located in the Wonderland Park development of western Los Angeles. It is using the pattern of technological distance as garden in a wider landscape. Aluminum mesh and sheets that built between stones, soil and plants combined the element of water and light with aluminum in the garden to looks more natural.

Distance is the way to separates and divided the horizontal, vertical, geographical and technological.

Above four distances confront with displacement, substitution, reuse and absorption. These four distances indicates gardens reaching their limits to become greater and greater distances in larger landscape.

Connecting the culture, history and background in gardens and converts it to larger landscape with four distances.

The High Line 10 Type: Elevated Urban Linear Park; Public Park Time: Nov. 9th. 2015 Locate: New York, NY 10011 Area: 395 acres

The High Line is a linear park with 1.45-mile-long in New York City, it built in the center of Manhanttan with an elevated section of a disused New York Central Railroad. The park used the pattern of vertical distance as green roof garden go through all the buildings surround in New York City. Along the stairs from ground to elevated High Ligh Park, it brings a sense for people that New York not only a modern city for business but the High Line Park also provides an area for relaxation and recreation in public. In the park, it utilized various native plantings for landscape, and the color of leaves will change with the weather. The trail is made of pebble-dash concrete walkways, and divides into concrete tines with planting in railroad as hardscape. The park also provides a lot of sitting area for people like the single stone bench as enclosure area for individual and group sitting bench for gathering. The view of the city and Hudson River as background to attract people stay in park for longer. A variety of project will be hold in the park for specific event. Because of park is connected to the city, it comes with eleven entrances and five of which for disabilities people. The pathway designed for wheelchair accessible entrances, each with stairs and elevator to bring convenience for people. It is an amazing example to explain use gardens in different level as a substitute ground plane. The High Light Park opened to public since 2009, and it got a wonderful success.

Vertical Distance 20

The distance from a level to another level. ‘The amount of separation between two horizontal surface or plane’ (Answers).

Vertical Distance is the pattern to use gardens in different level. Gardens can be built on the rooftop as a substitute ground plane in different level. Gardens also can be built in the circular staircase to continue the landscape. The ground garden can be associated with the roof garden. The rooftop garden designed by PECO teamed up with PHS at its headquarters building in Philadelphia at 2013 Market Street, it designed a distant an enclosure and isolation area from the ground and refreshed with the natural world, individuals recovered their association with one another.

Geographical Distance 22

The distance measured along the surface of the earth between two points.

‘The distance measured along the surface of the earth. The formula in this article calculate distances between points which are defined by geographical coordinates in terms of latitude and longitude’ (Wikipedia).

Geographical Distance is the pattern to use gardens built into the climbing retained walls on the surface of the earth. Gardens can be complex that combined different culture within traditional gardens and modern gardens, it symbolize the merging of peace. Gardens exceeded the boundary line of the site and making it engaged with geographical distance.

Technological Distance 24

The distance measured by technology pattern which means voids all the factors by human, economic and environment.

Technological distance, which using the element of aluminum in the garden to protect the sun from screen and decorate surface.
