It’s spring on Dinosaur Island and that means it’s time to start planting! Above is a screen capture of the interface to add plants to Dinosaur Island, select the terrain / environment in which they grow (remember all the work on creating the terrain previously?), select images for the plants for their three stages of development (we have an agreement with xFrog who created these prehistoric plants, and, lastly, ‘plant’ this vegetation in the appropriate terrain / environment.
We’re looking at starting off with 20 different types of plants and trees. We will be tracking each individual plant, shrub or tree throughout its entire life cycle. We will also track its health.
The above screen capture is another glimpse ‘behind the scenes’ of Dinosaur Island. Most users probably won’t want to get this involved, but we need to have this capability to create different environments, with the appropriate flora, for the various eras of dinosaurs.
Things are progressing rapidly on Dinosaur Island. Next week: see the results of planting all these ferns, bushes and trees. And, after that, it’s time for the dinosaurs!

Most people don’t think about how important lighting is in their landscape design. The right lighting can make all the difference in the world, and the wrong lighting can be a complete disaster. One of the most important aspects of landscape lighting is spacing.
How far apart should your landscape lights be?
When it comes to landscape lighting, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to the question of how far apart lights should be spaced. The spacing will depend on the type of lights being used, the size and shape of the area to be lit, and the desired effect.
For example, if you are using small solar path lights to line a garden path, you will want to space them closer together than if you were using larger floodlights to illuminate a driveway.
And if you want a soft, romantic glow in your garden, you’ll want to space the lights further apart than if you were trying to achieve a more utilitarian look. Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide how much light you need and where you want it placed. Experiment with different spacing until you find what looks best for your particular landscape.
LANDSCAPE LIGHTING – 5 Biggest Mistakes People Make with Landscape Lighting
How Do You Space a Landscape Light?
When spacing landscape lights, the general rule of thumb is to space them about 2-3 times their height apart. So, if you have a light that is 10 feet tall, you would space it 20-30 feet apart from the next light. This will ensure that the light evenly illuminates your landscaping.
How Far Apart Should Low-Voltage Landscape Lights Be?
It is important to take into account the wattage of your low-voltage landscape lights when deciding how far apart to place them. A good general rule of thumb is to space them about one foot apart for every five watts of power. So, if you have 20-watt bulbs, you would want to space your lights about four feet apart.
Of course, this is just a general guideline and you may need to adjust based on the specific needs of your landscape lighting project. For example, if you are trying to accent a particular feature in your yard, you may want to place the lights closer together so that they create a more concentrated effect. Or, if you are trying to light up a large area evenly, you may want to spacing the lights further apart.
Experiment and see what looks best for your particular application. And always make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when it comes to installation and spacing of low-voltage landscape lights.
How Close Should Landscape Lights Be?
When it comes to landscape lights, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to the question of how close they should be. It depends on a number of factors, including the type of light fixture, the size and shape of your landscaping, and the effect you are trying to achieve.
For example, if you are using small accent lights to highlight specific features in your landscaping, they will need to be closer to those features than larger floodlights or path lights.
The best way to determine the ideal placement for your landscape lights is to experiment with different positions and distances until you find what looks best. Another thing to keep in mind is that landscape lights should never be placed so close together that they create a “wash” of light. This can often happen when people try to save money by buying cheap solar lights in bulk.
Not only does this look bad, but it can also create glare and make it difficult to see. So spacing your landscape lights out properly is important for both aesthetics and functionality. In general, most landscape lights should be spaced about 2-3 feet apart from each other.
But again, it ultimately depends on the specific situation and what you are trying to achieve with your lighting design.
How Much Space Should Be between Solar Lights?
When it comes to solar lights, there is no definitive answer as to how much space should be between each light. However, there are a few general guidelines that can be followed in order to ensure that your solar lights are properly spaced.
First and foremost, it is important to make sure that there is enough space between each solar light so that they can receive adequate sunlight exposure.
If the lights are too close together, they may not receive enough direct sunlight and will not function as efficiently. Additionally, you’ll want to avoid placing the lights too close together so that they create a glare or blind spot when looking at them from certain angles. In general, it is recommended to place solar lights at least 2-3 feet apart from one another.
This will ensure that each light receives adequate sunlight exposure and also prevents any potential glare or blind spots.
How Far Apart Should Solar Lights Be Placed
Solar lights are a great way to add lighting to your home without having to run new wiring. They are also very versatile and can be placed just about anywhere you need light. But how far apart should solar lights be placed?
The answer depends on a few factors, such as the wattage of the bulbs and the size of the batteries. A good rule of thumb is to place them about 10 feet apart. This will give you enough light to see where you’re going, without being so bright that it’s blinding.
Of course, you can always adjust this depending on your own personal needs and preferences. If you find that you need more light in one area, simply move the lights closer together. Or if you want a softer light, try placing them further apart.
experiment until you find the perfect placement for your solar lights!
Landscape Lighting Placement Guide
When it comes to landscape lighting, placement is everything. In order to create the perfect outdoor ambiance, you’ll need to carefully consider where to place your lights. This guide will help you make the best choices for your space.
First, take a look at the areas you want to highlight. This could be a beautiful garden, your home’s architecture, or a water feature. Once you’ve determined what you want to showcase, it’s time to start planning where to put your lights.
There are a few things to keep in mind when placing landscape lights: – shadows: Be sure to place lights in such a way that they won’t cast harsh shadows on your subject matter. You’ll want soft, even lighting that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.
– height: Positioning your lights at different heights can add depth and dimension to your space. Play around with placing some higher up and others closer to the ground until you find the right balance. – angles: The angle of your light is just as important as its position.
You’ll want to experiment with different angles until you find ones that create the desired effect. Just remember not too point them directly at your guests – that can be quite blinding! With these tips in mind, start planning where you’ll place your landscape lights.
Distance between Driveway Lights
Most people don’t think about the distance between their driveway lights, but it’s actually an important consideration. The average driveway is about 20 feet wide, so you’ll want to place your lights about 10 feet apart. This will ensure that there’s enough light to see the entire width of the driveway and help prevent trips and falls.
Of course, you can always adjust the distance between your lights based on personal preference or the size of your driveway. Just keep in mind that too much space between lights can result in dark areas where someone could easily trip, while placing them too close together can create a glare that makes it difficult to see. Experiment until you find the perfect spacing for your home.
If you’re wondering how far apart you should place your landscape lights, wonder no more! This quick and easy guide will tell you everything you need to know.
When it comes to landscape lighting, there are a few things to keep in mind.
The first is the type of lightbulb you’re using. LED bulbs, for example, emit a much brighter light than traditional incandescent bulbs. As such, you’ll want to space them out a bit further than you would with other types of bulbs.
The second thing to consider is the purpose of the landscape lighting. If you’re simply trying to add some ambient light to your yard or garden, then spacing the lights further apart is fine. However, if you’re trying to highlight specific features or create a dramatic effect, then you’ll want to space the lights closer together.
Finally, it’s important to consider the size of your yard when determining how far apart to place your landscape lights. A small yard will obviously require fewer lights than a large one. And remember, always err on the side of caution – it’s better to have too many lights than not enough!


Our brief was to design and install our Housedeck system with part of the site within a Tree Root Protection Area.
The slab had to be suspended above the ground level with a clear ventilated void. Instead of our typical approach of using an engineered working surface, we used natural stones to form the working platform. This approach allowed for air flow and water passage to the roots after the works were completed.
To ensure the tree roots were not damaged during the piling phase all piles were manually pre-augered and a number of piles were relocated to avoid clashes with existing roots.
The site was also sloping, so some intricate profiling had to be introduced to the slab to suit the external ground levels, such as steps and downstands.
Treesafe was the ideal solution for this site because it minimised the amount of excavation needed, which was essential due to the close presence of the protected tree. By using a mini rig and hand augering before piling, we could ensure that no tree roots were damaged by the new foundations. Despite poor weather at the time of our works, we were able to continue working without delay.


A brief history of Canonbury Square – with thanks to London Borough of Islington.
Henry Leroux of Stoke Newington originally started building in Canonbury Square in 1805 on land owned by the Marquess of Northampton. The central garden was formed in the 1840s but was already bisected into two separate areas by the New North Road turnpike, now known as Canonbury Rd. The Fourth Marquess of Northampton opened the square’s gardens to the public in 1884, the first landowner to do so, and in 1884 he donated the land to Islington Council.
The original railings were removed during the Second World War but in the 1950s the gardens were redesigned and enclosed with new reproduction railings. In 2006 Loire Valley Wines Legacy Gardens funded a makeover of the garden on the West Side of the Square, planting vines and rose beds to reflect the planting of vineyards in the Loire Valley.
Many significant figures from the arts and literary worlds have lived in Canonbury Square including George Orwell, Evelyn Waugh, Samuel Phelps as well as painters and designers Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell.


We prepared a submission this month in support of Moreland City Council and Moonee Valley City Council in jointly developing the Chain of Ponds – Moonee Ponds Creek Plan, a draft action plan for the Moonee Ponds Creek. This draft plan ‘reimagines the Moonee Ponds Creek as a healthy, vibrant destination which supports native plants and animals, provides green space for leisure and recreation, and helps prevent flooding.’ We congratulate the Moreland City Council and the Moonee Valley City Council for their collaborative approach to managing the natural and cultural values of the Moonee Ponds Creek, recognising that these values don’t stop at municipal boundaries.
We strongly support both councils in endorsing the document and its approach, as well as gaining endorsement from Melbourne Water and the Collaboration Group. We also strongly
encourage both councils to undertake advocacy to the State Government regarding the importance of the plan, and their role in implementing it, particularly when planning large infrastructure projects and initiatives.

Lassen Volcanic National Park plans to re-open the Bumpass Hell Trail September 13, following the partial completion of a multi-year trail rehabilitation project.
“We look forward to welcoming hikers on the newly rehabilitated Bumpass Hell Trail,” said Superintendent Jim Richardson. “The trail improvements enhance both the hiking experience and the condition of the historic trail.”
The re-opening follows completion of improvements on the 1.5-mile trail between Bumpass Hell parking area and Bumpass Hell basin. The resulting trail is wider, smoother, and better designed to withstand erosion. The trail provides the shortest route to Bumpass Hell basin and the recently reconstructed boardwalk.
Hikers will see continuing rehabilitation efforts along the trail and within the basin. This includes restoration of an alternative 0.2-mile basin access trail and overlook enhancement. The second basin trail will remain closed until construction is complete and access to overlooks may be limited.
Lassen Volcanic began the multi-year project to rehabilitate the Bumpass Hell Trail and boardwalk in 2018. The purpose of project is to ease maintenance for the Bumpass Hell Trail and boardwalk, while preserving natural and historic resources, improving interpretive opportunities, and accommodating high visitor use to and within the Bumpass Hell Basin.
More information and photos about the project are available at go.nps.gov/BHEA.

Dave and I visited a local garden, Compton Acres, yesterday afternoon. It was beautiful, and such a great place to take photographs!
|The Italian Gardens|
The gardens consists of separate areas; an Italian themed garden, heather garden, woodland valley, rock and water garden, and my personal favourite; the Japanese garden.
|Chilling in a grotto!|
We both took our cameras, and it was great being able to go out together and take some pictures. We both managed to take some nice ones as well, so we were pleased with our afternoon out!
|Koi lining up to say hello!|
I absolutely love Koi carp. They're so beautiful, and there were some particularly stunning ones at Compton Acres!
|The Japanese Gardens|
I've always loved the style of Japanese gardens, and this one is no exception! The pagoda is awesome, and the colours at the moment are just beginning to turn to oranges and reds. In a week, I'm sure it'll look absolutely stunning! The Koi pond is full of stepping stones, so it's good fun exploring this garden. I love it!
Hope you're all having a great start to Autumn x


Fall is now almost one month’s move in Vienna and the cityscape is experiencing its most colorful change. The colorful leaves turn the trees along the Ring Road in Vienna into a regular spectacle of red, green, brown and yellow tones and spread a foliage carpet on the boulevard, which provides a wonderful flair.
We were inspired by the autumn and designed our website in the colors, which in this time of the year also make the boulevard glow. The complexion of the declining foliage makes the Vienna Ring Road and its monuments even more imposing and invites you to take leisurely walks between the colorful trees and sights.
We hope you like the new design as well as us and we wish you a nice autumn!


The Lottery Park terrain changed over time from Paul Presley's block out to grow and incorporate new spaces and designs. The rock faces in the background were tailored to contain the space and guide the player.
We had a lot of ideas here, at some point the rail network was going to work so the rails and terrain were tailored to support a functioning system.
My terrain team came into this area at a later stage so we had to be more careful as we added features to these roads--from debris piles to displaced bricks beyond undulating the ground.
Created the terrain mesh and cover rock meshes maintaining the look of the hundreds of meshes used to painstakingly block it out.
I established a look for Comstock House floors with motifs such as this, interspersed with custom snow terrain.
This was a gem surrounded by stone and tile road meshes all around it. I inherited this terrain and added in the grave holes, pathways and optimized it.

Barriefield Rock Garden
The Bill Robb Barriefield Rock Garden that runs from the bottom of Main Street alongside James Street to the rock cut along Highway 2 was created in 1990. Bill Robb was a retired Bell Canada lineman and engineering technician who was instrumental in devising the project. He cultivated the garden systematically, using an aerial photograph that he marked off as he proceeded. Having volunteered at the local federal prisons, Bill enlisted inmates to help with the gardening, many of whom went on to work in the landscape industry. The garden, with its unique natural landscaping, has won Kingston Community in Bloom awards over the years and it continues to be maintained by volunteers, with funding from the Pittsburgh Community Benefit Fund. The garden twinkles with lights every Christmas, thanks to the efforts of Barriefield volunteers.

Why urban greening is not a panacea for extreme weather conditions under climate change
Urban greening is often presented as a means of combating both heat waves and flooding in cities. This includes green roofs, green walls, green urban spaces, private and community gardens, habitat corridors, bushland and parks.
Corn our latest research shows that, for most cities in the world, urban greening can either control flooding Where reduce the heat. He usually can’t do both in one city.
As the climate changes, cities around the world are experiencing both heat waves and flooding more frequently. Perth, for example, suffered a record heat wave last month, with six consecutive days of over 40℃. A few months earlier, Perth had recorded its wettest July in decades, with 18 consecutive days of rain.
Our results allow us to more effectively plan urban greening projects tailored to cities. So let’s take a closer look at these results and the benefits Australia can derive from urban greening.
What we found
Temperatures in cities are often several degrees higher than those in rural areas, due to the “urban heat islandwhere the predominance of concrete and steel absorbs and retains heat, and there is a lack of cooling by water evaporating from plants.
These same heat intensifying characteristics are also often responsible for flash flooding in cities, because sealed surfaces cannot act like a sponge to absorb and store rain, unlike the ground they replaced.
Read more: What drove Perth’s record-breaking heat wave – and why it’s a taste of things to come
To find out if the cooling and flood prevention benefits of urban greening hold true, we analyzed global climate models and weather information from 175 cities around the world over 15 years of daily observations, from 2000 to 2015.
Our results, published in the journal Nature Communication, show that the greatest cooling potential occurs where abundant rainwater is available for plants to transpire (release water vapor during photosynthesis). This is common for cities around the equator and in much of northern Europe.
The cooling potential of urban greening varies seasonally – it is most effective if periods of heavy rainfall coincide with summer.
In contrast, the greatest potential for soil water retention, which is crucial for flood prevention, occurs in drier areas where solar energy is abundant but rainfall is more limited. These areas are common in North Africa, Australia and the Middle East.
These areas have higher long-term average water retention and its potential varies less from season to season. Indeed, major rainfall events that exceed the soil storage capacity and cause water runoff are less frequent.
What do the results mean for Australia?
Although our results suggest that urban greening cannot reduce both flooding and heat in many, if not most, cities around the world, parts of southeastern Australia are among the few exceptions. This includes parts of Melbourne and Hobart.
Read more: Urban greening can save species, cool warming cities and make us happy
On the other hand, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane are “water constrained”, which means that urban greening is ineffective in reducing the urban heat island effect. However, as much of Australia has a relatively dry climate which is good for water retention, large-scale urban greening initiatives can help reduce flash flooding in these cities.
For example, Brisbane has plenty of sunshine in summer, providing ample energy for evaporation, which often exceeds the amount of summer rainfall available.
Darwin is the only state capital in Australia that, according to our modeling, would not draw heavy rainfall Where cooling benefits from urban greening.
This is because Darwin is in an area that transitions between Australia’s arid interior and the wetter tropical climates to the north. It doesn’t benefit from the high cooling or water retention performance that comes with either extreme.
Where to go from here?
While it seems like we can’t assume that urban greening can mitigate cooling and flooding at the same time, it’s still a great strategy for addressing either in many places.
Urban greening also has other positive benefits – it provides habitat, filters the air and has demonstrable effects on people’s well-being.
However, there are important cost-benefits of these types of projects to consider, both environmentally and economically.
Read more: High-density cities need greening to stay healthy and livable
Urban spaces are expensive and many greening strategies require more complex engineering than traditional buildings. Furthermore, cooling benefits may only be significant in certain regions if irrigation is used, which is impossible to do sustainably in many parts of the world.
Decision makers around the world can use our results as a first-pass guide for more local feasibility studies on urban greening. Although a crucial tool for planning and adapting to climate change, urban greening must be understood under specific local conditions – one size does not fit all.
Councils, governments, planners and developers should be fully aware of the pros and cons before embarking on urban greening projects.


The Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) would set up a heritage park at the premises of the Jagannath Ballav Mutt here at a cost of Rs 30 crore to Rs 40 crore.
SJTA Chief Administrator Suresh Mohapatra informed this after an SJTA meeting chaired by Puri Gajapati Maharaja Dibyasingha Deb here on Saturday.

Can you bottle a feeling?
The moment of bloom for a cherry blossom is so brief if you’re not present in the moment you could miss it. Each year, the pure white flowers mark the start of spring, a clean slate for a new harvest.
The cherry tree is part of the Provençal landscape. It is widespread in the Apt region, in Luberon, and changes colors with the seasons – making it a source of inspiration for artists: pure white in spring, bright red in summer, soft green in autumn.


The Parnitha National Park, due to the short distance from Athens, its special values, its natural landscapes, the high forests, the variety of vegetation, the relief, the many springs, etc. is an ideal landscape for environmental education activities. There are large recreation areas (Bafi, Messiano Nero, Paleochori, Ag. Triada, Platanos Tatoiou etc.) which have the appropriate infrastructure for food and play, in order to provide high quality forest recreation to the inhabitants of the Attica basin.
The map shows all the landscaped recreation areas.


October 5, 2016 Meeting - The NEW Meriden Green
Matt Sanford, Mark Arigoni, and Scott Bristol from Milone & MacBroom and Bob Bass from the City of Meriden will give a presentation on the redevelopment of the former HUB site into the Meriden Green. The Meriden Green is a 14-acre flood control/park and economic development project located in the heart of Downtown Meriden. The $14 Million project is a key component of Meriden’s downtown transformation which includes an unprecedented amount of private, local, state, and federal investment in the areas of flood control infrastructure, brownfield remediation, and transit oriented development.
The transformation included the removal of structures, the “daylighting” of approximately 1,700 linear feet of Harbor Brook as well as fish and wetland habitat creation Brooks, wetland creation, creation of walking paths, an amphitheater and multiple “great lawn” areas for civic activities.

Remake initiatives revive historic hutong neighborhood
Architects and designers have in recent years been actively involved in the renovation of Beijing's historic hutong neighborhoods. And their ideas have helped preserve the look of these age-old siheyuan courtyards and the way of the life there.
The neighborhood of Baitasi, which surrounds the Baita White Pagoda Temple, recently underwent a remake with the aid from designers from Tsinghua University's School of Architecture.
This neighborhood warming initiative program, as part of the ongoing Beijing Design Week, is not intended to transform the courtyards into venues for commercial purposes, but to connect the hutong residents with visitors through innovative ways without changing their lifestyles.
So, exhibitions are being held in empty rooms inside the courtyards where both residents and visitors can learn the history of the area. One show has photos of couples who have lived in the neighborhoods for decades. And workshops and forums are being held where residents, designers and visitors can sit together to talk about how to enliven hutong life.


Park Dräi Eechelen
The parklands surrounding the museum make for beautiful walks. The park also features a range of artworks. It was landscape artist Michel Desvigne who designed and arranged it as it stands today. He was awarded the 2011 Luxembourg Architecture Prize in the landscape design category for his creative overhaul of the Dräi Eechelen Park.
Mudam’s site is close to the Musée Dräi Eechelen (interior design by Jean-Michel Wilmotte), the Philharmonie (designed by architect Christian de Portzamparc), and the Place de l’Europe designed by Ricardo Bofill. In the adjacent Quartier Européen are other buildings by famous architects, such as the Court of Justice of the European Union by Dominique Perrault, and the European Investment Bank by Christoph Ingenhoven.
The numerous works of contemporary art integrated into the Park Dräi Eechelen, together with its proximity to outstanding architecture, point up the entry to the Quartier Européen.
Ten works line the promenade for the moment, and others will be added in due course. These works were conceived specifically for the site and commissioned by partner institutions, or they are pieces from public collections obtained by Mudam, which is responsible for the artistic management of the park.
A stroll in the park can be enjoyed for itself or can be part of a visit to Mudam. Mudam now offers a group tour that starts by looking at the museum’s surroundings, focusing on the history of the site and its impact on the architecture of Ieoh Ming Pei, and then leads into a tour of the museum’s exhibitions and collection.
The Park Dräi Eechelen - Place de l’Europe artistic tour has been established by Mudam in collaboration with:
Ministère de la Culture
Administration des Bâtiments Publics
Fonds d’Urbanisation et d’Aménagement du Plateau de Kirchberg
Ville de Luxembourg
Musée Dräi Eechelen
Musée National d’Histoire et d’Art
A plan of the artistic tour is available at Mudam.

Landscape designers are the unsung heroes of the world. They take a piece of land and turn it into a beautiful and functional living space for homeowners. But what does it take to be successful in this field? We spoke to some of the most successful landscape designers to ask them their secrets of success. Here’s what they told us.
Research and Planning: One of the most important things a landscape designer can do is research. Before beginning any project, they must spend time researching the area, learning about its climate, soil type, available resources and more. This will help them come up with an effective plan that meets their client’s needs while also taking into account the local environment. This research will also give them ideas for materials, plants, and other design elements that will work best in the area.
Creating Design Concepts: Once a landscape designer has done their research, they can begin creating design concepts for their clients. This is where their creativity comes into play as they create sketches that capture their vision for the space. They may use software such as SketchUp or AutoCAD to create detailed drawings that illustrate how they want to utilize the land and make sure that all aspects of their plan fit together cohesively.
Implementation: The final step in a project is implementation – taking all those sketches and plans and turning them into reality. This requires coordination between different teams such as contractors, landscapers, engineers, architects, etc., as well as supervising the day-to-day progress onsite to ensure everything is being completed according to plan. It also involves working with clients throughout the process so that any changes or adjustments can be made quickly and smoothly without disrupting progress too much.
Finally, once the project is complete, the team should document everything that was done, so it can be referenced in the future. This documentation helps to ensure that any similar projects down the line will run more efficiently and accurately.
At this stage, communication is key – both internally between different teams and externally with clients. Regular updates and check-ins should be made to ensure that everyone is on the same page and can respond quickly if any issues arise. Additionally, it’s important to stay organized and be mindful of timelines so that the project can be completed in a timely manner.
Landscape design is an art form that requires skill, creativity, and dedication in order for it to be successful. By following these tips from experienced professionals in the field you have a better chance of achieving success with your projects as well! Good research & planning helps you understand your client’s needs while creating design concepts gives you an opportunity to express your creative side through sketches & drawings; while implementation ensures everything comes together just right! With these tools you can be sure your projects will turn out just as you envisioned! Good luck!


The Parc de la Villette brought in several urban gardening projects along the exposition «Le jardin planétaire». It was the starting point to raise awareness among citizens to ecological goals and sustainability. Tactile Studio designed tactile boards to fit into this paradise of nature. They were also formulated as an invitation to look around and observe the natural environment.
You can find inspiring boards on so called “temporary” garden, naturally evolving with the seasons. Following the gardens, on the slider, one of the two ensemble plans. They are divided in two: one part visual, the other tactile. The visual part of the plan is inspired by a realistic photo and the tactile part is ergonomically situatedin the lower part to allow people to easily touch . Both plans show a) the general aspects and b) focuses on special areas within the garden allowing different angles to everyone.
The first version, set up in 2013:
Made in wood and plexiglass colored relief, the first version of the site plan also provided an audio commentary on a device that needed to be manually cranked with a dynamo to have power.
The materials in use met the ecological sustainable principles of the place. The feet of the table, which served as a subset for the plan, was wrapped in wire so that a plant could grow up on it . After four years of intensive use, however, it was offered a renewal.


A stunning feature built for the redesign of the CN Tower’s observation deck, this 30′ long tiered bench provides a resting space for tourists and visitors. The undulating curves are clad in Corian, and all horizontal surfaces are inlaid with a section of Toronto’s street grid in a contrasting colour. Wireless phone charging pods are also integrated into the top tier of seating.

Exterior floor lights and spike lights, both LED and low-energy versions. Spike lights are a precise effective way of lighting outdoor spaces, through focusing angles of the light beams onto the desired features. This provides a soft effective shine and lighting effect.
An extensive example of the use of small LED floodlights with the use spikes is the Eden Project in Cornwall. Spikes are used to uplight shrubs, palms and banana trees for a small selection of examples.


One of the most splendid pieces of Baroque architecture anywhere, is the Belvedere Palace. Created by architect Lucas von Hildebrandt, this masterpiece is actually two imposing palaces separated by a 17th century garden parterre.

The United Arab Emirates aren’t exactly known for their modest buildings, opting instead to build monolithic structures like the 830m Burj Khalifa. Now, they’ve announced plans for a 125,000 square-meter park in Abu Dhabi which will be situated underneath the dry desert itself. Designed by Thomas Heatherwick studio, the subterranean paradise is inspired by the cracks that appear in the desert’s surface.
“Instead of denying the presence of the desert that the city is built on, we set ourselves the task of making a park out of the desert itself,” says Heatherwick. “We became interested in the patterns of the desert landscape and looked at the shapes created when earth cracks from the heat of the sun. Experimenting with the idea of a structure drawn from a fractured desert crust, we started developing a scheme based on revealing partially-shaded planted spaces below a desert surface.”
Underneath the 20-meter high canopy visitors will also find cafes, play spaces, a library, pools, and streams, as well as a community vegetable garden.

Cannon Hill Pond
Gold predominates around Cannon Hill Park’s pond as seasons change. A legacy of the Olmstead brothers’ vision, the pond is home to fish, frog, turtle and Mallard duck. In rare times, an errant moose or Great Blue heron enlivens the population. Winter finds ice skating action or hot cocoa by firelight.
As part of a 1907 commission by Spokane, landscaping of Manito Park was part of the famous Olmstead brothers’ design. In spring, cascading flowers adorn rock walls below Rose Hill, voted the winner of the 2007 All-American Rose Selections Display Garden out of more than 130 gardens nationwide.
Spring On High Drive
When the inland northwest is carpeted with the bright yellow flowers of the balsam arrowroot, then spring has arrived. Spokane’s High Drive skirts this dramatic slope over Latah Creek and is popular with joggers and hiking.
Bowl & Pitcher
Impressive rock formations form the centerpiece of Spokane’s Riverside State Park. They are the prehistoric remnants of a mile-thick basalt flow that blankets the Columbia Plateau and is a popular outdoor draw for the community.
Manito Boulevard A picturesque avenue lined with attractive bungalow homes, this broad boulevard extends south from Manito Park and is divided by a median of chestnuts and maples- home to a large grey squirrel population.

LVMH, the luxury group that owns Louis Vuitton, is investing $60 million into rejuvenating a children’s park in Paris.
The park sits on the outskirts of the city of light and is 150 years old. LVMH is not alone in this investment. They are teaming up with a popular ski resort called Compagnie des Alps. According to WWD, their goal is to redesign the park’s website, add 17 new carousels, build a promenade, and renovate the park’s small farm.
This new project is meant to be a “cultural start up” and aims to increase interest in Western Paris, the area where the children’s park lies. However, LVMH and Compagnie des Alps will not be working on this rejuvenation alone. They have hired very talented landscape planners and architects to design plans for the new park.
In May, LVMH also shared plans to renovate an abandoned building in the same area and turn it into a museum in order to expand their empire.
While the renovations are sure to take awhile until they reach completion, we look forward to LVMH’s latest undertaking and can’t wait to see the finished product.

Incorporating iron bollards into architectural style enhances the developing’s Over-all existence and attractiveness.
Architectural style has altered considerably all over historical past. The curved buildings with the Baroque period, English-encouraged colonial architecture, Gothic design and style, Modern-day/Post-Contemporary architecture, as well as other period-specific models have their own individual distinctive elements of beauty and elegance. Having said that, starting with the economic Revolution, another thing which has been consistent is the usage of iron in decorative and structure features of numerous buildings.
There was tremendous desire in the preservation of historic architecture in the last two to 3 many years, coupled by using a resurgence of desire in early iron and metal do the job… It is preservation, It is really restoration, and It is really replica being an art kind worth sharing with foreseeable future generations. This appreciation produced early ironwork restorations, and right now it stimulates new is effective that integrate the standard in style and design and workmanship common of the craftsmanship from the past. Both equally domestic and offshore foundries with generation expertise in customized iron castings can reproduce architectural iron castings from drawings or as re-productions salvaged from first pieces.
