Building a Pixelated Oasis: Designing Stunning PixelSpark Bases
PixelSpark, the popular Minecraft modpack developed by the Pixelmon Team, combines the nostalgic charm of pixelated graphics with the exciting world of Pokémon. With its unique blend of elements from both Minecraft and the Pokémon franchise, PixelSpark offers players a captivating gameplay experience. One aspect that truly shines in this modpack is the ability to design stunning bases that serve as both a functional hub and a visual masterpiece. In this article, we will explore the art of building remarkable PixelSpark bases and creating your very own pixelated oasis.
The first step in creating an impressive PixelSpark base is to plan your design. Consider the theme or concept you want to embody, as well as the functionality you desire. Are you aiming for a rustic forest retreat, a futuristic high-tech facility, or perhaps a whimsical Pokémon-themed paradise? Let your imagination run wild as you envision the perfect setting for your base. Planning ahead ensures that your design is cohesive, efficient, and visually appealing.
When it comes to the actual construction, attention to detail is key. Utilize the pixelated aesthetic of Minecraft to your advantage by incorporating blocks and elements that complement the Pokémon theme. Pixelmon adds a wide variety of Pokémon-inspired blocks and decorations that can be used to bring your base to life. Consider using pixelated textures for walls, roofs, and flooring, and incorporate pixelmon-themed furniture, banners, and decorative items to enhance the overall theme. Don't be afraid to experiment with different block combinations and architectural styles to create a unique and eye-catching design.
In addition to the visual appeal, functionality is an important aspect of a well-designed PixelSpark base. Consider the different areas and features you want to include, such as storage rooms, Pokémon healing stations, breeding areas, and training facilities. Plan the layout of your base to ensure easy navigation and accessibility to these essential components. It's also important to think about incorporating efficient pathways, transportation systems, and even automated mechanisms to streamline your gameplay experience.
Furthermore, landscaping plays a significant role in creating a stunning PixelSpark base. Use Minecraft's block variety to create natural-looking terrain, incorporating trees, shrubs, flowers, and other elements to add depth and visual interest. You can also design gardens, ponds, or even mini Pokémon habitats to make your base feel alive and immersive. Landscaping not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your base but also provides opportunities for relaxation and interaction with your Pokémon.
Another aspect to consider is lighting. Proper lighting not only ensures visibility but also adds ambiance and atmosphere to your base. Experiment with different types of lighting sources, such as torches, lanterns, glowstone, or even custom pixelmon-themed lighting blocks. Strategically placing lighting fixtures can highlight important areas, create focal points, and add a sense of warmth and coziness to your base.
Finally, don't forget to add personal touches and unique details that reflect your personality or interests. Incorporate memorabilia from your favorite Pokémon, display your collection of rare items, or even create themed rooms that pay homage to specific Pokémon types or regions. These personal touches not only make your base feel more inviting but also showcase your individuality and creativity.
Building a stunning PixelSpark base is a journey that combines creativity, planning, and attention to detail. Whether you're aiming for a grand fortress or a cozy cottage, the possibilities are endless within the pixelated world of Minecraft and PixelSpark. So, unleash your imagination, embark on the construction of your dream base, and create an oasis that will impress both Pokémon trainers and Minecraft enthusiasts alike.

Controversy Surrounds AIDS Memorial Park in NYC
February 6, 2012
The New York Times, Architectural Record, and The New York Observer all reported that the AIDS Memorial Park Design Competition jury announced on January 30 that they've selected a Brooklyn design team from studio a+i as the winner of its design competition for the AIDS memorial park on the old site of St. Vincent's Hospital. The design, called "Infinite Forest," features a park bordered by three mirrored walls, creating the illusion of a forest in the middle of New York City.
But according to a Village Voice blog, the chances of the design actually being executed are slim. The developer in charge of actually building the park, Rudin Management, says that they will "ignore the results of the contest and move forward with their own design, by landscape architect Rick Parisi." Parisi's plan is much more generic, calling for some 600 seats amid mixed plantings.
To find out more, including how to donate to the memorial, go to aidsmemorialpark.org.

Fountain Patterns Hardly ever DesignedNeedless to say, the legacy of fountain design and style also involves several drawings of fountains that were proposed, but in no way designed, and for that reason continue to be purely imaginary conceptions. At times, a under no circumstances-designed drawing serves to be a nest of latest ideas for succeeding generations. The first fountain types that never ever bear fruit generally hint at concerns with the designer. A fountain designer might check with specially, how will the fountain seem in a selected environment? Or how will the fountain composition communicate with a variety of drinking water results? All some designers are concerned with how best can a fountain realize its symbolic type, a festive spectacle, or could it be located in utilitarian operate? Almost universally, fountain designers regarded style ramifications only after the Artistic features have already been tackled. There isn't any concern that fountain designers have generally appeared to historic precedents as resources for Thoughts and ingenious sorts and models. Bernini's Triton fountain has inspired several artists, fountain designers and architects all over the millennium.
The Roman architect Marchione was famous for utilizing drawings to develop his fountain styles. Within the mid-1700s Marchione received a Fee for his 1st huge venture, which consisted of the look of the villa and gardens, and fountains for his patron the Cardinal Alessandro Albani. The Villa Albani was intended to showcase the Cardinal splendid collection of classical antiquities. Between Marchioneâ€™s achieved styles for your villa is really a drawing for just a Pegasus fountain simulating a naturalistic landscape which has a statue of a legendary horse tapping its hoof on rocks arched more than a stream. This was to be the 1st fountain depending on classical mythology in the region.
A up to date of Marchione, an 18th-century architect named Giuseppe Barberi, been given number of actual commissions, but unleashed a torrent of restless creative Power in fluid programs and fountain layouts which by no means remaining pen and paper. Among his quite a few fountain designs are Concepts for maximizing plazas with numerous urban landmarks, several that includes the river gods and large jets of drinking water, a conventional fountain kind which will have already been promoted by Bernini's Fountain of your 4 Rivers, or by antique statues of river gods which dotted the landscape.
In modern-day times, fountain designers have sought to update previous variations of fountains with fashionable architectural sensibilities. Modern French Back garden designers are reviving French classical Yard design and style, but simplifying it to a whole new modest scale, and employing new products, and defining Areas otherwise, By way of example employing concrete partitions. Quite a few modern day idea drawings suggest secluded salons (or out of doors rooms) the place folks can appreciate tranquility during the midst of a larger public backyard garden. Commonly, the central focus is a figurative water fountain, a personification of the h2o supply, with water slipping through the acquired onto a decorative shoulder, and to symmetrical trellises housing columns fashioned into fountains for consuming or handwashing.
Quite a few up to date fountain designers proceed the practice of drawing consistently in personalized sketchbooks document observations from character also to jot down Suggestions for fountain designs. For decades, American designers have sketched Motion picture watery mountain streams, and coastal large water fountains shores. Even the Most up-to-date engineering companies, while planning fountains, Typically begin their design method which has a collection entire of a musty foolish it truly is sketchbook drawings. Normally, the drawing present options for various playful drinking water outcomes, but some clearly show the designer working out the way to use technology to produce the desired h2o action, including giant leaping arcs of h2o. With the usage of modern day Laptop technological innovation, a fountain designer can then translate these drawings and sketches into hydraulic realities plus the sketches into precise fountains.

The space, which connects the historic Old Mechanical building with
the modern Management Hall, now sports a new patio, modern furniture
and upgraded lighting. The new design was unveiled in May just before

H.A. Dorsten was awarded the contract to construct Phase 1 of Komminsk Legacy Park and started in late 2015. Phase 1 consisted of tiered landscape seating, a splash pad, formed-in-place slide, seating, jungle gym bars, sensory-rich musical instruments, and general landscaping with walks.
H.A. Dorsten was again awarded the contract in 2018 to construct Phase 2 of the park. Phase 2 consisted of additional walks, two swing sets, and a NEOS 360.
Komminsk Legacy Park is situated in the heart of New Bremen and was brought to life by the late Dianne Komminsk. One of Dianne’s greatest loves was creating and building Komminsk Legacy Park, which she felt was a proud memorial to her family and the love they all had for New Bremen. This park will be enjoyed by the Village of New Bremen and all surrounding communities for years to come.
This project received an Award of Excellence (eagle) from The Ohio Valley Associated Builders and Contractors (OVABC) in 2017.

Picture this: you have adopted a woodland landscaping style with stone pathways and birdhouses for your cozy cabin. In that setting, the outdoor unit of your split AC stands like a literal blot on the landscape.
Quite simply, an AC unit is essential to beat the heat of those hot summer months. While the indoor unit of a stylish air conditioner can enhance the looks of a room, the big bulky outdoor unit can be an eyesore.
If you are wondering how to hide the aircon unit, there is good news. There are at least 24 (that we’re aware of!) easy yet very effective ways to do it. In fact, doing it in the right way can improve the aesthetic appeal of your home.
So, let’s get down to business.
Pointers to Keep in Mind Before Hiding Air Conditioning Unit
When it comes to hiding the air conditioner unit inside your home, you can use curtains or wall decor. But that is not the case with the outdoor unit.
The most vital thing about the outdoor unit is its location. You see, this is a piece of equipment that needs open space to breathe. And that brings us to the idea of an outdoor unit cover or using other methods of hiding the unit.
Apart from hiding the unsightly face of your AC, using an outdoor unit cover can help you save energy. Ideally, you need to place the outdoor unit on a north or south-facing wall to protect it from direct sunlight.
In case that is not possible, adding a cover can protect the unit from sunlight and prevent it from heating up. That ensures the compressor and heat exchanger deliver optimum performance and reduce energy expenditure. Additionally, it will also prevent the wear and tear of the unit from the weather conditions.
Here are a few more technical aspects you need to keep in mind before arranging for an outdoor air conditioner cover.
1. Make Sure There’s Open Space
The heat exchanger unit needs to dissipate heat to the surroundings in order to cool the refrigerant. This makes it necessary to keep sufficient free space, usually around 2-3 feet, around the unit for proper airflow. Check the manufacturer’s guidelines for any specific clearance that has to be maintained around the unit.
Choosing a decorative AC cover that acts as an enclosure and restricts airflow is not a good idea. Planting ornamental grass or flowering trees around the unit can be a good idea. But make sure that the plants do not obstruct the airflow.
2. Maintenance and Repairs
The components of the outdoor unit will also need periodic maintenance. In addition, as per Amendment Two of the Australian/New Zealand Standard (AS/NZS) 3000:2007, a lockable isolating switch needs to be fixed adjacent to the compressor unit. This makes it necessary to keep the unit accessible from all sides. If you choose a cover, make sure that it is removable.
3. Follow Local Codes
Generally, no planning or building approval is needed for installing an AC or an air con cover. However, you may need planning approval if you are shifting the unit or raising it higher than
1.8 m from ground level.
Make sure that the cover arrangement does not go against any local building codes. Installation of an outdoor unit cover arrangement should not disturb the electrical setup for an AC as specified by the manufacturer.
24 Simple Ways to Hide an Aircon Unit
There are various ways to hide the outdoor air conditioner unit. But not all of them are practical and some will take too much time and energy as a DIY effort. We have included the best possible options for you to choose from.
Take a look.
1. A DIY Wooden Outdoor Air Conditioner Cover
There are multiple ways of building a DIY aircon cover or screen by using wooden blocks or panels. The key is to ensure that there is sufficient space between the wooden blocks to ensure proper airflow. The dimensions of the structure will depend on the exact clearance needed around the unit.
The top and bottom of the cover should remain free to ensure proper ventilation. Since this is not a load-bearing structure, you can use heavy-duty adhesive to fix the boards. For improving durability and waterproofing, you can use polyurethane coats or varnish specially formulated for wood.
2. Build a Shade
Building a decorative shade over the outdoor unit will not only improve the aesthetics but also protect it from the elements. As long as the shade is kept at the right height, you need not worry about any obstruction to the airflow around the unit.
The best way is to build a simple wooden frame with a shade on top. However, you can also get more creative and create a complete “AC house”. While the latter will take more effort, it will also be an oh-so-clever way to make the act of hiding a delightful attraction.
3. Use Flowers Pots and Planters
Crowding the area around the AC unit with plants may not be a good idea as they can spread into the clearance zone. A better way is to use small flower pots and planter boxes around the unit to camouflage it while keeping the right clearance from the unit. You can even combine it with a fence if needed.
Choose slow-growing species and avoid plants that generate a lot of debris. Also, the plants should be chosen based on whether the area gets sunlight or remains in shade.
Note, it is best not to pick plants with attention-grabbing flowers. Quite simply, you are not looking to turn the area around the unit into a focal point.
4. Set Up a Lattice Enclosure
A lattice enclosure is a great way to hide the outdoor aircon unit without preventing airflow. You can buy lattice panels or make your own lattice frame by using plywood pieces. However, a DIY effort will take some time and you will need to set up a workplace with the right tools.
The other option is to use a trellis to create a screen in front of the unit. A simpler DIY option is to use two T-posts, and then tie poplar sapling twigs, and twine between them. You can strengthen the connections by using zip ties. To make it more eye-catching, drape the trellis with a flowering vine.
5. Shine a Mirror
A strategically placed mirror in the backyard can be a great way to hide and divert attention from the AC unit. In fact, you can also use a mirror in combination with a lattice fence, trellis, and planters.
The angle of the mirror is an important factor and it should point towards the most attractive features in the area. Mirrors with metal or wood backing are not the best option for outdoor use as the materials will degrade. So, either use a protective coating or choose a mirror with a stone or polyurethane frame.
6. Use a Picket Fence
Due to its open design and short height, a picket fence is ideal as an outdoor AC unit cover. Moreover, it also needs less material to construct and is an affordable option. Considering you need to cover only a small area around the unit, setting up a DIY picket fence will not take much time.
Without a doubt, a white picket fence looks great and is a classic charmer. With periodic re-painting, it is sure to last for years. You can even use reclaimed wood to make the fence even more eco-friendly.
7. Add a Bamboo Screen
Bamboo screens are a cost-effective decorative element that can be used outdoors, as well as indoors. They are also available in multiple shades that allow you to match them with the surroundings. Plus, these screens can also act as a shade for the AC outdoor unit. It is best to pick high-quality screens from certified sellers that will last long.
One thing is, bamboo screens are lightweight and may not be able to stand on their own in outdoor conditions. So, you may need to add support beams to keep them standing. The other option is to set up a small fence and then unravel a preassembled bamboo roll over it.
8. Build an Artificial Hedge
Don’t have the time to cut or trim a hedge? In that case, using an artificial hedge is a great way to hide the AC unit without much effort. And when you consider that with these hedges, there is no need for trimming, watering, or cleaning up fallen leaves, they are a great investment.
Additionally, these hedges will continue looking fresh and structured for years and there will be no issues with pests either. While buying pick hedges that come with a guarantee. Beyond that, the leaves should be made from UV-resistant materials. That will prevent discolouration within a short period of time.
9. Create a Vertical Garden
Creating a living wall in the form of a vertical garden around the outdoor AC unit is a great idea. For this, you can use hanging baskets, or allow the plants to grow around vertical support like trellises. Another option is to use a screen with built-in slots or floating shelves.
A wide variety of plants including long vines can be used for this garden. If you have limited backyard space, a vertical garden is perfect for adding colour and greenery to the space.
10. Distract the Viewers
One effective way that many landscape designers use to hide a large AC unit in the garden is by distracting the eyes of the viewers. This involves creating a distinct focal point by using a statue or specimen tree.
Another way is to guide the eyes by using straight lines or other continuous shapes like a stone pathway. Naturally, the eyes are drawn to the path and the vegetation around it, and the awkward AC unit is left out of focus.
11. Recycle Old Doors
You might have seen old doors being used to create a boundary between two parts of a backyard. The good news is, old doors can be used as an outdoor air conditioner cover too. Moreover, you can also use the doorposts as support for climbing vines.
While this is a DIY project, it is one of the cheapest ways to hide your AC unit. Besides, the old-world look adds a rustic charm to the space.
12. Build a Rock Wall
The best part about building a rock garden wall is that it does not need concrete footing or mortar. It can be built by using a variety of rocks or bricks and can be 3-4 feet in height. If the AC unit is within a foot of ground level, the wall should effectively hide it from view.
Start by digging a 12-inch-deep trench around the AC unit and then set flat stones inside the trench to create a solid foundation for the wall. Use the less flat stones and smaller rocks to fill the middle area and then finish with another layer of flat stones at the top.
13. Set up a Tool Shed
A tool shed is a multi-purpose solution that will hide the AC unit, and also provide storage space for your garden tools. While wooden sheds have a rustic charm, metal sheds, especially aluminium ones, are better suited for the outdoors. Obviously, the shed should have latticework or built-in vents to ensure proper airflow around the unit.
Tool sheds come in a wide range of styles, and while they are more expensive, they are a practical choice. Make sure to create a strong foundation for the shed so that it can withstand storms.
14. Use Large-leaved Plants
Large-leaved plants add an exotic look to a garden and the lush foliage can hide the AC unit effectively. Plants like Plantain Lily, Japanese Banana, Caladium, and Elephant Ear are some head turners that can add a lot of character to your backyard space. If the unit is in a shaded area, you can also plant some ferns around it.
Not all of these plants will be suited to your environment and the soil type. And some of them can be too big an option for the available space. The good news is many of these plants are super easy to grow and need little attention.
15. Plant Ornamental Grasses
Don’t prefer heavy-duty screens to hide the AC unit? In that case, using wispy ornamental grasses is a great way to screen the outdoor AC. Besides, they can also provide shade to the unit.
These grasses come in a wide variety of sizes, ranging from a few inches to a few feet. That allows you to choose according to your space requirements. Some common options are feather reed grass, fountain grass, blue oat grass, and switch grass. You can even plant them in pots to add more texture and volume to the space.
16. Add Decorative Items
The idea of garden decor is not limited to plants but includes a range of other items. These items can be used creatively to hide the AC outdoor unit. Some such items are birdbaths, bird feeders, garden pedestals, sculptures, and garden gnomes. You have to choose the right decor that matches your backyard setting.
17. Build a Cement Wall
A poured wall made from cement or concrete is a great way to keep the AC unit hidden away. The best part is you can choose from numerous design options and can customise the pattern in creative ways. The top of the wall can also be used for setting up small planters.
Even though you would not need a large wall, working with concrete is a tricky business. It is best to get support from an experienced contractor instead of making it a DIY project. That way, you can pick any design of your choice and be assured of the durability of the wall.
18. Create a Mural
Painting a mural on the wall behind the AC unit is a great way to divert attention away from it. The other option is to place a metal or wooden screen in front of the unit and then create the mural on the screen.
Creating a mural can be a great DIY project for the entire family. Not only are they a creative option, murals will add a unique touch to the outdoor space. Even if you lack artistic skills, you can use stencils to get the job done. If you are not confident about freehand painting, you can get help from an artist to get the job done.
19. Make Use of Garden Furniture
Garden furniture is not just for creating sitting spaces. When used in the right way, outdoor furniture can be used to create partitions that can effectively hide the aircon unit. For example, a combination of wooden chairs and side tables with a few potted plants is great for hiding the AC compressor unit.
Another option is to use rope or rattan furniture that has a woven texture. Think of setting a lounge chair in front of the AC unit to keep it out of sight. While outdoor furniture is not cheap, the wide variety of choices allows you to think outside of the box.
20. Create a Private Space
Adding a cosy sitting space in your garden is a great way to relax while being protected from the scorching sun. The best way to do this is to use a pergola and add a garden sofa or two to keep the AC unit out of sight. The open structure of the pergola will also ensure airflow around the unit.
While luxury pergolas can be expensive, simple wooden pergolas are more affordable options. You can also add LED lights to make it a perfect spot for night-time dining.
21. Use Layered Planting
While a single layer of shrubs can affect airflow around an outdoor AC unit, using a layered approach can work better. The first layer can be made from shrubs a few feet away from the unit. You can even use ornamental grasses and sedums to make this layer more attractive. This layer will keep the unit hidden from view.
The next layer can be taller trees that make the arrangement eye-catching. Note, plants that are too tall will upset the visual geometry of the layering. So, pick moderately sized plants that are best suited for your environment.
22. Screen with Arbors and Arches
An arbour with climbing vines growing on it can be an excellent focal point to distract attention from the outdoor aircon unit. Arbours and arches also provide the screening effect that you are looking for.
Additionally, you can place minimalist furniture like a low bamboo table and two chairs in front of the arbour. If you have a small garden space, such an arrangement can also create the illusion of space.
23. Use a Decorative Cover
One of the easiest ways to hide the AC unit is by using an outdoor air conditioner cover. There are plenty of designs and colours that you can choose from. However, do not use plastic covers as this will suffocate the unit. The best options are weather-resistant and breathable fabrics.
It is important to choose the right cover size as a too-tight cover will suffocate the unit. On the other hand, a larger-than-needed cover can become a breeding ground for pests and rodents. You can also use freestanding privacy screens made from wood-inspired PVC. Some of the best outdoor air conditioner covers in Australia are made from aluminium, and have louvred screens.
24. Build a Garden Fountain
A DIY garden fountain made from flower pots, or a galvanised tub is a great way to hide the outdoor AC unit. If you are ready to work through a weekend, you can create some exciting designs by using stone and gravel. You will find most of the items needed in a thrift shop, which makes it a cheap option.
If you recirculate the water, the maintenance requirement for the fountain will be minimal. And the best part is your garden will attract a lot of birds in the dry summers.

Your garden is one of the most beautiful areas in your property and is an excellent way to appreciate the wildlife. If you want your garden to be a haven for wildlife, there are some ways you can attract them to visit your garden.
Birds are so beautiful to look at. If you want them to visit your garden, you should be putting out bird seeds for them to enjoy. You could either put these on a bird table so they can perch and relax for a few minutes to eat them. Or you could throw them out onto the garden for them to nibble. It’s a great way to encourage them to visit your garden. Just make sure you are using the right bird seeds. And don’t put them out if too many cats are around!
An excellent way to attract wildlife to your garden is to buy a bird bath which they can enjoy going in. It’s an amazing sight which you will not forget in a hurry. You will soon see them visiting and having a drink and wash. They can also be a beautiful ornament for your garden as they come in so many materials such as cast iron or bronze. As you can see here, you can even get eco-friendly ones to help the environment!
Another great way to get birds to come for a visit is a hedging plants. It’s a great place for beautiful birds to rest so you will get some amazing photos. It will also attractive other wildlife to your garden. Hedging plants can also make a beautiful feature in your garden, and you may even get some delicious fruit of it which you can enjoy!
A compost bin is ideal for attracting lots of animals to your garden, especially birds. It’s a great way of recycling all your garden waste into organic compost. Animals will often use it as a form of shelter. And birds will stop and enjoy any seeds and insects which are around in the heap!
If you want some birds to come to your garden, a native shrub is fantastic for encouraging them to visit. A shrub is an attractive feature in the garden. They are perfect for feeding birds such as sparrows and tits! As this article says, you may even see some thrushes in the summer months who will come and visit your garden!
A perfect way to encourage wildlife to your garden is to plant a tree in the area. They are a fantastic place for birds to nest, and you may even see some other wildlife visiting like bats or squirrels. As this feature explains, smaller trees such as conifers or yew are perfect for birds. And if you have space, you could even have a couple of large trees which will attract a lot of wildlife, and make a fantastic feature in the garden.

Donald E. Stephens Convention Center
Rosemont, Illinois, USA
More than 1,000,000 visitors pass through this covered circle drive on their way into the Donald E. Stephens Convention and Conference Center each year. This first impression for visitors must be welcoming and memorable, so our team’s goal was to replace the existing dark and uninviting lighting scheme with a new, positive approach to this important arrival point.
New fountains, landscaping, and colored lighting effects take the project beyond a simple entryway and impart a lux impression similar to Las Vegas venues. A large central fountain and illuminated cove is the new focal point.
The renovation included providing new recessed ceramic metal halide lensed downlights for general illumination. Fixtures are located so that they also illuminate the perimeter wall. Due to better optics and strategic placement, fewer replacement fixtures are used while still providing appropriate lighting levels and consuming less energy than the previous lighting scheme.

When I do feng shui consultations I often recommend that clients add “touches” of color to a space to create balance and visual interest. Many times I get blank stares from them. I’ve learned that they have no idea what a “touch of color” is.
Driving around this week drinking up the colors of spring bursting forth, I was reminded about my challenge to communicate what a touch of color is. There actually are touches of color everywhere all the time. For example, a red stop sign is a touch of color, a brilliant red against a background of gray or green.
Spring, however, offers us so many more examples of beautiful touches of color. All you have to do is scan the landscape for a brilliant burst of purple, red, yellow or pink set in a landscape of green. Perhaps I am more conscious of them because they are such a welcome relief from the gray skies and landscape of winter.
As you watch spring unfold this year, practice looking for “touches of color”, that brilliant purple redbud tree, the luscious pink of a dogwood, the brilliant yellows of daffodils, and the vibrant bold red of tulips. Our landscape has much to teach us about how to add color, energy and visual interest to our homes and offices.

There is a really nice promenade on the Atlantic side of Cape Town that begins near Sea Point and winds down towards Cape Town Stadium.
Finishing at the Mouille Point lighthouse, there is a tiny gelato shop near the corner of Surf and Surry, or for a bigger meal, the Newport Deli and Market. The promenade is the perfect place in Cape Town to run or take a Saturday morning stroll.
Also, in the area is newly open Green Point Park, Cape Town’s own Central Park. It’s a 12.5 hectare area that includes a rolling lawn, and a fantastic biodiversity garden. There is a pond with water that flows underneath (and next to) parts of the main walkway that the kids love to run through and play in. I can tell the city really put in a good effort to make this park a place you want to spend half a day, so it’s worth bringing the whole family for a picnic sometime soon!

SRINAGAR, OCT 14: The administration of Srinagar, in its relentless pursuit of revitalising and modernising the city, has shifted its attention from the city centre, Lal Chowk, to various markets across Srinagar.
Under the ambitious Smart City initiative, the administration aims to redevelop these markets, offering modern amenities while preserving the city’s rich heritage and tradition.
CEO, Smart City and Commissioner of the Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC), Athar Aamir Khan announced that work is in full swing to transform these markets, enabling residents and visitors to experience the heart of the old city in all its heritage glory. The redevelopment project promises to infuse life into traditional crafts, vernacular architecture, and the warm hospitality of Sheher-e-Khas.
“One of the most critical and bustling intersections in Srinagar, #JehangirChowk, has now come under the spotlight as part of the #SrinagarSmartCity Project. The primary objective is to streamline traffic flow in and around the junction while facilitating pedestrian movement to connect various surrounding areas. The ongoing work on the Jehangir Chowk Junction Improvement project is expected to alleviate congestion and enhance the overall urban experience,” he wrote on X.
“Goni Khan Market, one of Srinagar’s most frequented markets, is set for a transformation as well under the #SrinagarSmartCity Project. The redevelopment project for Goni Khan Market has already commenced, promising a more modern and vibrant shopping experience for both locals and tourists.

Vienna is a modern and people-friendly city. It has been awarded various titles in the recent years and has achieved high rankings in surveys comparing big cities on quality of life. For example Vienna topped the famous Mercer’s Quality of Living survey in 2010. Both locals and tourists in Vienna appreciate the way walking in the Inner City of Vienna feels. Unlike some other capitals, Vienna city centre offers a plenty of space, trees, and parks. Many streets and areas have little or no traffic.
Why are the streets in Vienna so wide? Though modern urban planners have done a lot of good work in Vienna, the roots of the characteristic wide boulevards with trees and statues can be found much earlier in Vienna’s history. The way Viennese city centre looks today should be credited to the powerful Habsburg Emperors, namely their desire to make Vienna feel like a glorious imperial city (with Rome in mind).
As a result, walking in Vienna’s Inner City is a pleasure. You have a lot of parks, trees, and gardens where you can take a break and hide from the sun and the noise of the city. You can watch magnificent buildings, statues, and fountains all around. Though there are a few streets with lots of cars (especially the Ringstrasse), there are many places with safe pedestrian crossings and traffic lights.
Thanks to enough space in Vienna city centre, many streets have special designated lanes for cyclists, which make bicycle one of the most practical means of transport in the Austrian capital (besides the fact that the surface of central Vienna is mostly flat and not too demanding for riding a bike). Nevertheless, if you are too tired to walk or ride a bike, you can take advantage of the outstanding public transport in Vienna.

Garden design can be great fun, but it can also be a challenging process. People often sweep some of the more common mistakes under the rug and just deal with them, but they actually do have huge impacts on the overall design plan. Some of these errors will only become more obvious as time goes on and you get older, because that’s how things tend to go in nature.
The following are 5 of the Biggest Garden Design Mistakes you should avoid.
Not having an overall plan.
Failing to have an overall plan can cause your garden to look pretty random. It’s like you jumped right in without even thinking, which can make it hard to know how to proceed. Without a plan, you end up with a version of the one-time classic, “tower of power”.
Not having a budget in mind.
You can end up spending far more money than you intended when you decide to build a garden without an idea of how much it’s going to cost. You’ll also figure out you really don’t have the space for some of the things you want. This is why it’s always wise to draw up a plan, come up with a budget, and then start choosing plants.
Not using your creativity.
It’s important to dig in and start using your creative abilities when it comes to gardening. Don’t be afraid to start doing something that might not seem like something that should go in the garden, but ends up adding value by giving you a new perspective on things.
Failing to look for examples.
You’ve got to remember, no matter how much you love gardening, the only people who are going to be out there trying to take pictures of your garden are other gardeners. They may or may not be following the same type of design plan you’re doing, so it’s important that you take some time to look around at other gardens and see what different people do in them. This will give you some good insight on what works and what doesn’t.
Not valuing your plants over time.
This one is simple enough to understand, as it’s an extension of not having a budget in mind. You’re going to have to replace plants as they die off or get too old. As the years go on, the prices for those plants will increase, and if you don’t have a plan for replacing them, you’ll end up with an empty garden.
By avoiding these 5 mistakes, you’re already way ahead of the game. Following these rules will give you a much better chance at a great garden design in the long run.
