Function Collective lung Respite Educational (especially fro children) Principles T idi Tridimensionality: garden as architecture and landscape i li d hi dl d Temporality: seasonal and climate changes Dinamics life cycle

Freedom of form: either geometrical or meandering (romantic), but without pretending to simulate an ideal natural landscape

Asymmetry Amebae forms, masses of vegetation A b f f i

Use of color (vegetation and floor materials) Use of painting's principles: rhythm, harmony, contrast, and texture Non representational Use of native species

Form When I work on a project I have to know the place; if it has a hot or temperate climate; what are the plants that grow in the region. It is necessary to know the user as well. One should g y take all of this into consideration. But esthetics is a sine qua non condition. If there is a garden, it is because there is esthetical composition (Burle Marx 1991) Color It is mainly in our ability to use the color that we diverge from the old landscape architects, and its proper use is one of the most difficult tasks It is necessary to look for it in the great tasks. paintings of this century, in the work of Braque and Picassoin the work of flamenco tapestries, in the rugs of Teer and Tabriz; and in the porcelain of the great Chinese dynasties (1991;62)
