Landscape Design Principles

Principles of Landscape Design

Unity Obtained by the effective use of components in a design to express a main idea through consistent style.
Balance Refers to the equilibrium or equality of visual attraction.
Transition Gradual change
Proportion Size of the parts of the design in relation to each other and to the design as a whole
Rhythm Achieved when the elements of a design creates a feeling of motion which leads the viewer's eye through or even beyond the designed area.
Focalization Involves the leading of visual observation toward a feature by placement of this feature at the vanishing point between radial or approaching lines.
Repetition Repeated use of features like plants with identical shape, line, form, texture and/or color.
Simplicity Elimination of unnecessary detail
