Readings in Landscape Architecture

Open spaces design in general and courtyard in particular are of individualistic features incarnating the character of the designer in charge. Nevertheless the elements and principles of any design are but mere embodiment to the designer’s innate perspective of a competent project as a dominant influencing force. These elements and principles serve as binding codes and regulations dictating the progress of the design. Designers reign supreme on the elements of any design manipulating them as tools employed to achieveits principles in the project. No question scientifically speaking the enlisted elements and principles are still under debate; as the cognition of the endorsed term “design”is yet controversial. Most artists incorporate the design conditions into their projects. However some artists “break the principles” to quench their intrinsic need to set up a courtyard using the line form texture and color aspects to replicate their own definition of an inclusive composition.
