The Glade of Labyrinths
It is a large round amphitheater glade with several stages along its perimeter. The unique shape of the basin and the surrounding wall of a forest turn it into a natural amphitheater suitable for holding big concerts and theatrical performances making use of ambisonic sound. This nature object was discovered by the pioneer of Nikola-Lenivets, Vasily Shchetinin, while artists Sergei de Rocambole and Anna Nikolaeva created three labyrinths there (within the framework of Archtoyanie 2010 festival
) — two classical seven-looped stone labyrinths (a male right-handed one and a female left-handed one) and a large Chartrez-type labyrinth made of turf.


Strengthening neighborhoods through design.
The Community Design Collaborative is a community
design center that provides pro bono preliminary design
services to nonprofit organizations in greater Philadelphia, offers unique volunteer
opportunities for design professionals, and raises awareness about the
importance of design in community revitalization.
Early design assistance is critical to nonprofits and
the communities they serve. Preliminary design services help nonprofits see new opportunities,
make the most of scarce resources, engage stakeholders, get projects funded and built, and
strengthen neighborhoods. However, the cost of preliminary design services is often out of reach.
The Community Design Collaborative gives nonprofits access to pro bono preliminary design services by
matching them with volunteer architects, landscape architects, interior designers, urban planners, preservationists,
engineers, and cost estimators. Since our start in 1991, Philadelphia's design professionals have invested
more than 100,000 hours of their time and expertise in over 600 projects.
The Community Design Collaborative's early design assistance helps
nonprofits succeed in the challenging arena of community development. In the last 10 years, 70% of our nonprofit clients have made progress on their projects, taking steps to secure funding, hire design consultants, or build at least the first phase of a project. The Collaborative has been recognized for this work with several awards.
How to get involved:

Design Professionals: Participate on a design team to help nonprofits create stronger projects, organizations, and communities.

July 2012, Saint-Narcisse – The CMI Green Fund is participating in a project to plant a windbreak hedge between the municipality’s wastewater treatment lagoons and public recreation areas. The branches and leaves from the hedge’s cedar pruning will be given a second life by providing an essential oil, which will be extracted from plant tissue by a local company. By supporting this project, the CMI Green Fund’s administration committee wishes to support the municipality in its efforts to replant, beautify and promote sustainable development.Photo: courtesy St-Narcisse.

The 200,000-SF project includes a 69-unit luxury mid-rise condominium that also contains ground floor retail and underground parking. The total project cost was approximately $58 million. Average unit size is 2,500-SF. Amenities included the Star Nut Gourmet coffee shop, located on the ground level, which is popular in McLean. This five-story building has a “Civic Green” open space with a large fountain and elaborate hard and soft landscaping. The architect was Lessard Design and the general contractor was Bovis Lend Lease. The Palladium was named “Best Mid-Atlantic Mid-rise Condominium” in 2006 by Delta Associates.


The Lost Gardens of Heligan, near Mevagissey in Cornwall, are one of the most popular botanical gardens in the UK. The style of the gardens is typical of the nineteenth century Gardenesque style, with areas of different character and in different design styles.
The gardens were created by members of the Cornish Tremayne family, over a period from the mid-18th century up to the beginning of the 20th century, and still form part of the family's Heligan estate. The gardens were neglected after the First World War, and only restored in the 1990s, a restoration that was the subject of several popular television programmes and books.
The gardens now boast a fabulous collection of aged and colossal rhododendrons and camellias, a series of lakes fed by a ram pump over a hundred years old, highly productive flower and vegetable gardens, an Italian garden, and a stunning wild area filled with primaeval-looking sub-tropical tree ferns called "The Jungle". The gardens also have Europe's only remaining pineapple pit, warmed by rotting manure, and two figures made from rocks and plants known as the Mud Maid and the Giant's Head.
This is a very pleasant place in a really lovely location. Friendly and extremely helpful staff made our trip special. Lots of little nooks and crannies and a really beautiful garden make The Hoops interesting and quirky. We had very good food in the restaurant, and the bar menu looked good too. One criticism would be that every table in the bar is laid up for dinner which isn't great if you just want a drink. The restaurant manager was particularly helpful. I would recommend it highly but they need to get treacle tart on the pudding menu. Wonderful shower room!!

Earlier this year, County Commissioners approved the Harnett County Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenway Plan. This long-term plan focuses on bicycle, pedestrian, and greenway routes and trails, setting the stage for implementation of a County-wide multi-use trail system.
These trails will link parks, schools, municipalities, cultural points of interest, and residential areas within Harnett County, and will be designed to connect to surrounding counties. The goal of the plan is to develop a community-supported plan that can be successfully implemented through a capital improvement plan as well as through programmatic strategies and operations.
“Improving access to parks and trails is a critical part of our work to strengthen communities and improve the quality of life for Harnett County residents, “stated Harnett County Parks and Recreation Director, Carl Davis. “We’re creating a County-wide Bicycle, Pedestrian, & Greenway Master Plan to shape the development of future amenities for walking, cycling, and trails and to make Harnett County a more attractive place for prospective residents and businesses.”
Currently, Harnett County has only five miles of greenway trails available for citizens to use on a regular basis. With the Harnett County Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenway Plan, nearly 100 miles of multi-use trails is recommended to expand recreational opportunities throughout the County.
Harnett County collaborated with Alta Planning + Design, North America’s leading multi-modal transportation firm, to facilitate this plan. A steering committee was also established that includes several partners, such as the East Coast Greenway Alliance, the Conservation Fund of North Carolina, the North Carolina Department of Transportation, regional planning agencies, and local trail advocates to create this County-wide Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenway Plan.
In June 2020, planning began for the Harnett County Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenway Plan. The planning process provided a guiding framework with five phases that included project start up, data collection, draft plan, final plan, and plan adoption, that offers input from the public, participation and direction from the project Steering Committee, and public presentations of draft and final plans.
A public input survey was launched in Summer 2020 to encourage individuals to provide feedback and help shape the development of future Harnett County recreational amenities. Over 850 County residents and visitors completed the survey, providing comments and ideas for the multi-use trail network.
In October 2020, two virtual workshops were held to discuss the plan and results from the public input survey. Over 50 County residents and visitors attend the workshops.
The plan was finalized in December 2020, and presented to the Harnett County Board of Commissioners in January 2021, where the plan was approved.
The plan lists different types of trail pathways that would be used in the Harnett network.
There are multiple unique trail cross-sections that could be used to complete the proposed projects, depending on the context of each specific trail segment. Most of these cross-sections fall under the umbrella of 'shared use paths'. A shared use path provides a travel area separate from motorized traffic for bicyclists, pedestrians, skaters, wheelchair users, joggers, and other users. The types of shared use paths in the plan include:
The plan recommends nearly 100 miles of a multi-use trail network. The trail network is composed of priorities that were the most consistently mentioned in previous planning efforts, committee meetings, stakeholder discussions, and public outreach during this planning process. They fulfill a variety of prioritization criteria that will help them score high in future funding applications, and are geographically distributed across the county.
The recommendations for the trail network include:
Harnett County has created an educational video that provides an overview of the greenway plan. The video can be viewed on the Harnett County Parks & Recreation Youtube Channel by visiting https://youtu.be/Ng3ljMDKtb0. Interested individuals can also review the final approved plan at www.harnettgreenwayplan.com/the-plan.html.

Touching the Tide has helped produce a guide to preparing a Neighbourhood Plan.
The landscapes within and around the Dedham Vale and Suffolk Coast & Heaths Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty have a rich and varied built, cultural and natural environment. Together these are what make these areas so distinctive.
A good Neighbourhood Plan aims to retain “sense of place” - to keep the things that make a particular place special. Landscape is one of the most important elements of this, but can also be one of the hardest qualities to explain in a formal way. This guide shows you how to achieve this.

Australian environment minister Greg Hunt has announced plans to create green ‘urban canopies’ in order to reduce heat within city environments and improve health outcomes.
This is to be welcomed but the plans currently lack much detail.
The Australian Conservation Foundation supports the government’s push for tree cover, saying that trees are the “natural air-conditioners” of cities.
“Despite Australians’ romanticisation of the outback, we are among the most urbanised populations on a planet where more people now live in cities than anywhere else,” ACF campaign director Paul Sinclair said in a statement.
Sinclair called on Hunt to develop a national strategy for cities that includes green spaces and efficient transport.
He also said Infrastructure Australia should be updated to take into account natural areas like forests, rivers and wetlands.

It is probably an exaggeration to say everyone has walked through a Piet Oudolf garden. But, hundreds of millions of people have: The Dutch landscape designer is the mastermind behind New York City’s High Line and Battery Park, Chicago’s Lurie Garden in Millennium Park, London’s Queen Elizabeth Park, the entry to Toronto’s Botanical Garden, and the Vitra Campus in Southwest Germany. (Just to name a few.) Currently, most consider him the most famous person in his field. “I always had a strong feeling that I could do something different,” Oudolf previously said. “That happened when I met plants.”
A new book Piet Oudolf: At Work, published tomorrow by Phaidon, proves how inarguable his impact is. A photographic anthology of his greatest outdoor work as well as a poetic ode to his creativity (thanks to several essays by his contemporaries), it offers a complete look at Oudolf and his legacy. “Oudolf has thus succeeded in emancipating planting design as an art form in its own right, bringing it out of its niche and on to the big stage,” writes fellow gardener Cassian Smith.
Equally as fascinating as the photographs of the end result of his projects are the drawings Oudolf uses to plan them. Fastidious, colorful, and dynamic, they look like abstract maps rather than sketches, with pastel botanical borders that bleed into each other and sprawled script shorthand for plants like deep pink echinacea, violet perovskia, and orange helenium. Indeed, Hauser & Wirth (another of Oudolf’s many clients) found them so artful that they held a dedicated exhibition at their Somerset gallery in 2014.
Oudolf is credited with founding the New Perennial movement, which champions gardens that use grasses and plants that grow back yearly rather than die after just one. His designs are dazzling in scale and feature an abundant range of flora; his project for Vitra, for example, included over 200 species and 36,000 perennials in total. The result? Gardens that feel like natural meadows and landscapes, where structure is just as vital as color. “A garden isn’t a landscape painting that you look at, but a dynamic process that is always changing,” Oudolf says.
Below, see a selection of Oudolf’s most inspiring gardens from his new book.

Nature At Work
I must tell you, building a pond is a great experience that you will love for years and years, and since it is a creative endeavor, you really can put your own signature on it.
Following this blog will give you the steps to take as you plan, and many pointers along the way. Use your imagination and try different things to make it just the way you want it and you’ll end up with a project you’ll be proud of and a wonderful pond to boot!
For the first three years of it’s existence, my wife and I changed and redid areas around the pond many times trying for that certain final “LOOK”. Once you’re there, you’ll find you’re probably not, and that is one of the joys of the pond experience. It’s sort of like a work of art that is never quite finished.
If you’re a nature lover, and you most likely are, if you’re considering a pond, then this is where what I call the “pond bonus” comes in. Water plants in the pond itself, perennials and annual flowers around the perimeter, butterflies, hummingbirds, frogs, and spring peepers make the whole pond area a nature wonderland!
On a personal note, since this is my initial venture into writing, I would ask you to bear with me. I’ll try my best to keep instructions and suggestions practical and leave out a lot of side comments and quips that won’t add anything to your pond building experience. I’ll tell you the way I’ve done it, the things that have worked and those that haven’t and hopefully you will find, as I did, that overall it was more fun than work.
Finally, I hope you enjoy this here blog, and that when your project is finished, you’ll send me some pictures and comments about your experiences.
Thank You, and ENJOY! Bob Dorrance

I love what a fire pit does for any yard or garden. It brings family and friends together and makes any garden into a warm, welcoming place to let go of the stress of the day. Plus, let’s be honest, it feels like camping, and who doesn’t love that? Here’s how to build a back yard fire pit step by step, and it doesn’t have to be expensive. A quick trip to the home improvement store, a little hard work and you could be roasting marshmallows tonight!
Stone pavers, bricks, cinder blocks or other non flammable building materials
Sand or gravel
Decide where you want your fire pit to sit, and what dimensions you would like. Make sure you choose a spot at least 25 feet away from structures or overhanging trees. An average fire pit is from 36-45 inches across and 12 inches high.
Mark the center of the fire pit, the easiet way is with a stake. Then tie a string half the total diameter you want the finished pit to be. In other words, if your pit will be 36 inches across, make the string 18 inches. Tie the other end of the string to another stake or stick, and pulling the string taut, walk around the stick marking a prefect circle. This is the outline of the fire pit. Or if you choose, use marking spray paint as shown in the photo.


The 30 different stone sorts lend the same fireplace type a wide range of different appearances. For even more variation and variety, all modul fireplace types can be supplemented with special fire table and bench add-on elements - the modul plusLine.
The combination of two different types of stone for the stone and attachment area creates a particularly attractive look. This visual impact can also be enhanced to effect through the judicious use of livingSkin surfaces. Exciting combinations include lateral grooves in the stove area and a square pattern on the bench area. Alternatively, the stove area may be clad with a homogenous stone - while the seating area may feature grooves to accentuate the horizontal dynamics.

Good use of outdoor lighting has become increasingly popular for anyone wanting to make their home look better at night, but also for anyone wanting to add additional functionality to their home. Using driveway lights is one way to add a distinct look to your yard while also providing additional light during the evening hours. There are a variety of styles that can be used to achieve a number of different looks.
Benefits of resin driveways diy
When resin driveways diy is done well it can help increase the value of your home and increase the curb appeal. But even if you aren’t planning on selling your home anytime soon it will make the yard more attractive and provide light for anything you are doing outside in the evening.
It can help provide needed light when you are carrying groceries or other items inside. It will provide additional light for any friends or relatives who are visiting. It can also be useful if you are outside with kids or pets during the evening.
Driveway lighting can also help illuminate any landscaped areas near the driveway. This way your beautiful plants and flowers can be seen at night and during the day providing a cozy look to your home.
Types of Driveway Lights
There are a few types of driveway lights to choose from, what you choose will depend on a few things. If you are building a new home you may want to add the lights to your home plans which will make it easier to choose exactly what you want as they will be built into your plans. But if are adding them to an existing home there are still plenty of options.
Paver or recessed lights are a good option if you don’t want a fixture sticking up out of the ground. Paver lights are made of stone or brick pavers and are set into the driveway so they are flush with it. Recessed lights can be installed into the driveway like pavers or they can be installed along side of it.
There are various styles of post lights that are also popular for use on driveways. The height you choose will depend on the length and shape of the area where they will be installed.
Solar driveway lights are another option. They are very easy to install and they won’t require electricity to run so they are very economical.
Bollard lights can also work well for this purpose. If you have a short driveway one bollard light on either side of the beginning of the drive can help light the sidewalk as well.


SPC PROJECTS: SIMULACRUM REELS (1987), WALK-IN (1996)
Growing up on the North shore of Long Island, Justin was a builder of elaborate tree houses and subterranean forts that provided an escape and a way to connect with nature. The farm fields, woodlands, beaches and ‘Gold Coast’ estates that surrounded him offered a rich variety of environments to admire and influenced his appreciation for both natural and classical designed landscapes.
After years of creative directions for apparel brands, Justin received his Masters degree from Columbia University while working with Mario Nievera Design. Justin designed and supervised installations of projects that include large estates in Connecticut, New Jersey, Florida, and on Long Island, as well as, terraces and courtyards in New York City.
Currently based in Sag Harbor on the east end of Long Island, Justin is designing a large estate with Robert A.M. Stern Associates in East Hampton, and numerous projects on Long Island and New York City.
Justin’s designs combine rural and un-designed elements with more formal moments, providing private areas for reflection and meditation and space for entertaining family and friends. Helping clients enjoy and connect with nature is a goal of every project.


The $31 million project used dredged sediment to build 510 acres (206 hectares) of salt marsh and nourish another 90 acres. It also created 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) of earthen terraces.
The restored area had lost wetlands to drought, saltwater intrusion and hurricanes.
The agency says a project to build and nourish more than 580 acres of marsh is nearly complete. It’s near Cameron, and is called the Cameron-Creole Watershed Grand Bayou Marsh Creation project.
The authority has an online interactive map of its projects.

A survey locating and depicting terrain features of the property. This type of survey is conducted to show the features of the ground, both natural and man made, such as buildings, fences, trees, and other improvements. This type of map also shows relief or variations in elevation of the earth’s surface “the contours of the land”. A topographic survey may be conducted in conjunction with a Boundary Survey. Topographic maps are widely used in engineering work, in connection with the construction design and drainage projects.


The area that one finds to the right of the central walk is formed mainly by ashtrees
of small leaf and Siberian elms, with some specimens of yew, maple negundo,
acacia of the Japan, cedar of The Himalayas, cedar of the Lebanon, plane- trees,
Lawson's false cypresses and oaks.
The area to the left side of the central walk is composed by Siberian elms, cedar of

When you live in the city, it’s easy to lose touch of some of mother nature’s simple offerings like a breeze or wild plant life. Keeping in mind how these things can inspire appreciation of nature, the designers at Pensa created this unique lighting solution that mimics the shape and sway of water reeds.

You can just blow the debris out with a blower. It is very low maintenance but will it look good?

Pardgroup at the Dubai Design Week 2022
The Dubai Design Week, in strategic partnership with the Dubai Design District (d3), returned this November (8-13.11.2022) for its eight season with an extremely rich programme of installations, exhibitions and experiential mediums demonstrating Dubai’s commitment to design.
Held in the regional hub for design and creativity – d3 – the Dubai Design Week of this year looked at the impact of the ever-changing design landscape, focusing on designing a sustainable future through the theme “Design with impact”. Regional and international names challenged themselves to present their vision, showing how design can have a positive impact on the environment.
For the very first time Pardgroup took part to the event, preparing an Arabic-style installation dedicated to sustainability, which astounded visitors with brilliant colours and tricks of light.
The installation consisted of a conceptual representation of the transformation of material: within the pavilion, visitors immersed themselves in an ever-changing space which transformed even as they walked through it – just like the world of design, which is constantly adapting to new environmental contexts.
The geometric lines of the cylindrical metallic structure coexisted harmoniously with the softness of modules made from semi-transparent fabrics stretched between them. The sun’s rays filtered through these lightweight fabrics, simultaneously creating areas of shadow and changing the surrounding space in a continuous dance of light.
The pavilion’s setting was inspired by Arabic culture: not only did the fabrics and the structure recall a typical desert Souk, but inside was a small majlis, for visitors to gather and socialise.
An installation that exalted togetherness and celebrated transformation, integrating with and honouring the surrounding environment.

Bolton Abbey has been carefully managed by the Devonshire family since 1755, and remains the Yorkshire seat of the 12th Duke of Devonshire. The landscape at Bolton Abbey inspires, and has been admired in the past by artists such as Turner, Ruskin and Royle, as well as the poet Wordsworth.
Bolton Abbey landscape is the “jewel in the crown” of Yorkshire’s many landscapes, and the 30,000 acres of beautiful countryside boasting over 80 miles of footpaths to walk and explore.

Inspired by New York’s High Line, the new five-kilometre walkway named P5K has been installed on the Greenwich Peninsula.
- Programme from design to completion.
- Close co-ordination with interfacing trades.
Knight Dragon commissioned the architects behind New York’s High Line, an elevated park along a disused railway in Manhattan, to create Phase One of the Peninsula’s 5 km running track. Peninsula 5 Kilometre Running Track (‘P5K’) concept reimagined the Peninsula’s public realm as a monumental, elevated, artist-designed sculptural ribbon for runners, walkers and cyclists. Visible from the air, it will entwine the Peninsula, bringing together its vast but disconnected and developing landscape.
The refurbishment and enhancement of two existing smoke extract towers above North Greenwich station was an integral part of this scheme.
Engaged by Mace, Colorminium worked alongside the design team through the advancement of the design stages to ensure the architectural intent could be achieved inside the cost plan. Our involvement helped the team produce a comprehensive design that not only met the architects aspirations, but achieved the budget and enabled the fast programme to be met.
With an extremely tight programme in preparation for the arts festival, this was a challenging project including close interfacing with London Underground and many other contractors, all in close proximity, ready for the public unveiling. The eye-catching towers are centre of attention as the new walkway runs between North Greenwich Station and the Riverboat Station, linking the two.
With only 6 weeks onsite, the project is now complete with all stakeholders delighted at the finished product.


Created by Marie de’ Medici in 1612, the «Luco» is probably the best known garden in Paris. It is a true romantic place, where the love story between Cosette and Marius started, in the book Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. However, it is not just a romantic garden. The alley leading to the Medici Fountain is the perfect place to sit down and enjoy reading a good book. The Jardin du Luxembourg is also popular among kids, particulary for its pond, on which they enjoy spending afternoons with their model boats.


FENG SHUI APPLICATIONS IN LANDSCAPING
Landscaping and gardens (floral or vegetable) can be excellent sources of Chi for your home, and can actually help neutralize negative Chi before it enters the home. The landscaping that surrounds your house is an extension of the house itself, as it its energy.
CHI: Just as they purify the air, plants purify energy. Gardens are helpful for creating a strong and balanced flow of energy around and into your home. Because gardens directly involve the primal elements (Wood, Water, Wind, Earth, Space), it is important to look at the other aspects when designing and planning them. Colors and shapes, as well as any decorative items, can all help to achieve a good balance of Chi.
COLOR: Color can be especially important in a garden, particularly when looking at the colors of the flowers you plant. Yin (dark) and Yang (light) energies should be equally represented as much as possible, and the colors chosen should help to balance and complement the energy of the space.
SHAPES: Rounded shapes are best in gardens, rather than straight lines. Curved paths, rounded edges, and undulating movement encourages energy to circulate and flow gently, rather than rush past in a straight path. Keep this in mind for when planning flower and vegetable beds and planning paths.
WATER ELEMENTS: Water elements greatly assist in creating good Chi flow, as the element itself is a powerful symbol of Abundance. Generally, the best areas for placing them where they will provide the most positive influence are to the North (Career), East (Health), and Southeast (Wealth) areas. When planning a water element, be it a foutain or a birdbath, make sure you take the time to visualize how it will fit into the look and feel of the space, to maintain good flow toward your home, rather than away from it.
Gardens, no matter what size, can not only assist the flow of good Chi, they can create and propagate it. Working outside in your garden can help reduce your stress in general, and a beautiful, well-cared for garden can be a place of physical and spiritual refuge from the worries of the outside world.

During the Easter Holidays we had some very exciting pond improvements that have been carried out by an amazing local company called Layton Landscapes Plus who are based in Torbay. They very kindly donated their time, resources and materials extending the pond before the end of the holidays.
Since the pupils have been back they have taken the opportunity to explore the new and improved area. They particularly liked the bright blue mulch under the seating area which is made from old aeroplane tyres and gave the area some colour.
The pond liner was generously donated by South Devon Water Gardens LTD in Cherrybrook Square.
With the hard work and determination of Claire (Chestnut Teaching Assistant) who kindly donated the pond plants, the area is fast becoming a mini nature reserve. The pupils are being given the opportunity to encourage wildlife by painting the liner with live yoghurt which will encourage algae growth.
We can’t wait to see how the area develops over the next year or so, and once again a special thank you to those who donated their services and materials.
The finished pond…

According to recently filed plans called Project TTKA, LEGOLAND Florida is looking to add two new attractions to its park in Winter Haven. The publicly filed documents detail a 1.24 acre project site, with the removal of two smaller attractions and the addition of two new rides. The location of the project area is between Quest for CHI and The Dragon roller coaster.
Project TTKA plans show the demolition of Cragger’s Swamp water play area and the former Speedorz Arena attraction in the World of CHIMA area at the park. The pathways and landscaping in the immediate area and heading towards the Quest for CHI attraction will also be removed according to the plans.
Being added to the area will be a large structure marked “New Ride Building” which will be constructed over the site of the Speedorz Arena and currently unused land behind it. The queue for the ride will be located over the current Cragger’s Swamp area. A second small “New Outdoor Ride” is also marked on the plans near the pathway leading towards the LEGO Kingdoms area.
In addition to the new attractions, a “New Activities Building” is also part of the Project TTKA plans. The new layout for the pathways in the area resembles streets, with a round-about in the center.
Also part of the project will be the modification of two existing retention ponds. The plans do not describe what the theme of the area will be, or what type of rides will be added. There is currently no published timeline for Project TTKA, but it’s likely slated to open sometime in 2019 if plans move forward.
Touring Central Florida will post updates on Project TTKA as they become available.
For the latest on Project TTKA at LEGOLAND Florida and other theme parks, attractions and more across the region, be sure to follow Touring Central Florida on twitter @TourCentralFL & @androckb, and give our facebook page a like.

This City Plan sets a vision for future development in the city centre and was officially launched in March 2014. Until now, there has been no single over-arching strategic framework that sets a clear plan for the centre. The City Plan does this.
Extensive community consultation during the development of the plan in 2013 highlighted the community’s desire for the city centre to have a stronger identity and vitality that draws people to it at all times of the day and night; in effect, to make the city centre the focus of civic, cultural and recreational life of the wider ACT and region. The plan achieves this in different ways.
Primarily, future development in the city centre will be based on five ‘character areas’ that typify the activities and character of the different parts of the city centre.
The City Plan will help determine development and growth, and ensure projects and infrastructure are delivered efficiently and effectively. It aims to unlock the potential of Canberra’s CBD and better integrate it with public transport, residential buildings, surrounding parklands and educational institutions. Local, national and international interest in the city will be stimulated, attracting business and visitors and boosting the economy, vibrancy and liveability.
Key elements of the City Plan include the identification of new residential, business and leisure opportunities and improvements to Parkes Way to better connect the city centre and the lake. Several projects are being developed within the context of the City Plan, including two transformational projects, City to the Lake and Capital Metro.
The ACT Government is looking at options for the landscape design for the corridor as a transit corridor meeting the needs of light rail, pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.
The Plan has been jointly funded by the ACT and Australian governments under the Liveable Cities Program. The Liveable Cities Program supports state, territory and local governments to meet the challenges of improving the quality of life in our state and territory capitals and major regional cities. It supports strategic planning in line with the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) principles for facilitating urban renewal and strategic urban development.

- Hayarkon, Tel Aviv
- All Tel Aviv
The general feel of Tel Aviv is of a non-stop city, it is sometimes nice to take a minute to relax with a breath of fresh air and a green setting of trees and gardens.
That’s exactly what Ben Gurion, Israel’s first Prime Minister had in mind, and therefore decided to allocate this particular area to the establishment of an urban park, he sold it to the Tel Aviv municipality for merely one pound per acre, with the promise that the areas surrounding the Yarkon river will not be built upon, and form a sort of an open-air getaway for people to go to.
Opened to the public in 1973 by the name of “Ganei Yehoshua” in honor of Yehoshua Rabinovich, the Mayor of Tel Aviv at that time, it quickly became better known as the “Yarkon Park” because of the Yarkon river which runs through it. Stretching over a 3.8km square, this park features botanical gardens, a unique bird sanctuary, bike-rental centre and a rock garden- one of the largest in the world showcasing the diverse geological nature of Israel together with 3,500 species of different plants.

The Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site flanks the broad diagonal of Pennsylvania Avenue between the White House and the Capitol, comprising a large portion of the federal and local governmental cores, as well as part of the City of Washington's Old Downtown. Contained within its irregular bounds is a rich selection of building types and styles, statues, memorials, and parks. In addition, the area features many prominent elements that date from Pierre Charles L'Enfant's 1891 plan for the City of Washington, as amplified in 1901-02 by the McMillan Commission (Senate Park Commission). The National Historic Site provides the urban setting for such naturally recognized features as the Treasury Building, the buildings of Federal Triangle, Ford's Theater, the Old Patent Office, and the buildings centered around Judiciary Square. In addition, the National Historic Site is also home to many lesser-known but historically significant residential and commercial buildings, statues and memorials, and numerous parks and landscape features. It includes approximately 160 contributing buildings c. 1791‑1930.

Stormy Castle is a contemporary private house in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on a hillside on the Gower peninsula designed by Welsh-based Architects Loyn & Co. The local couple who commissioned the practice wanted a fulltime, lifetime home that made the most of the wonderful views and topography, with minimal impact on the rural landscape.
Following the contours of the land, much of the 800m2 building was sunk into the sloping site. This created enclosed spaces and courtyards, including a sunken ‘Secret Courtyard’. An existing Barn and Old School House were incorporated into the new building, with care taken to weave together the new and old and ensure light penetrated deep into the sunken spaces.
Concrete and Corten, a metal cladding, were chosen to reflect the local farm buildings and blend with the bracken in nearby fields. Flat ‘green’ planted roofs improved insulation and created useable terraces on the hillside. Manicured areas of garden were restricted to the courtyards, while the remainder was left as wild hillside, meadow or heath land.

“Rope Wave Office” Designed by Usual Studio Won “The Architecture MasterPrize” 2018 Winner.
The AMP is one of the most comprehensive architectural programs today, with the mission to recognize the most innovative, creative and inspiring architectural projects from all over the world. The AMP jury panel which consists of esteemed architects, industry professionals and academics considered entries from 68 countries in 41 categories across the disciplines of architecture, interior design and landscape design.
Winners will be invited to the bi-annual Winners Event taking place in 2019, and enjoy extensive publicity showcasing their designs to a worldwide audience throughout the next year, and their designs will be featured in the AMP Book of Architecture.
“The Winners of the Architecture MasterPrize are setting new benchmarks in architecture, interior and landscape design. The AMP is recognizing and awarding the talents of those who set new standards and inspire others, no matter the size of the company or project.” said Hossein Farmani, President of the AMP “It is a huge achievement to be selected as one of the winners, even more so with the increasing number and high standard of entries that are being entered every year.”


The SPOT-SPITTER DS (DownsSpray) uses a patented new design to create a unique spray pattern ideal for smaller containers. A specially contoured deflector plate directs the spray downward toward the soil instead of outward against the container wall. The result is a more uniform pattern around the root zone of the plant with minimal waste. Also unique to the SPOT-SPITTER DS, a patented U-Groove reduces the impact of tubing properties on the shape of the spray pattern.
Advantages of the DS over competitive products include:
- Uniform root zone coverage
- Uniform flow rates, less dependent on tubing
- Reduced overspray and runoff
- Color coded flow rates, consistent with AG
- Tough, UV-inhibited acetal material
The SPOT-SPITTER DS is available with the following popular flow rates and patterns:
