the SPACE

in landscape

The meaning

Space is the interval or distance between two or more objects, in which it has a certain volume. Space denoting a more-or-less and delimited volume affording human occupation and movement therein. Space denotes the palpable volume contained by tangible and an implied construction, which is also exists inside and outside buildings as well as around and between them. in which that space is defined gives rise to a range of spatial qualities

as two or three dimensional forms existing as separated, discrete visual entities in a larger space than the one it help establish

SCREEN

as perforated surfaces of closely spaced objects. Obviously are an intermediates type between the other two as limiting conditions.

SURFACE

two dimensional forms limited in spatial effect to the space they help establish.

Spatial definition
Landscape design results in 3-dimensional space. Can be defined by natural features, landform and plants. It can create enclosures spatial

In comprises human activities within the spatial area.

Three basic components influence the spatial qualities

SPACE - Denoting a more-or-less discrete and

delimited volume affording human occupation and movement therein Referring to the further perceptual qualification of a space to achieve an identity as a particular behaviour setting.

OCCASION

Due to the presence and activity to the human occupants in the place, in accordance with some implicit or explicit program

Paving pattern, colour and texture can be used to define spaces. Besides, change of levels through steps, ramps, etc designs as space division. Involve natural water bodies and man-made water features such as cannels and pools.

Spaces can be formed by : base plane overhead plane and spatial edge

BASE PLANE

considers as both the functional and spatial floor of landscape, for example; garden ground

OVERHEAD PLANE SPATIAL EDGE

is the spatial ceiling and it can be vary from the open sky to the hard exterior ceiling.

These aspects are interrelated in promoting a level of enclosure of a spatial composition

Is desirable when one seek privacy. It is also useful in creating suspense of mystery, screening unpleasant views and calling attention to desirable ones, defining spatial units and achieving numerous other spatial intentions.

Spatial Characteristic
Simonds listed 10 spatial characteristic that may called as abstract qualities in order to induce predetermined responses People and space connects strongly. This relationship either through physical and psychological connection will benefit human way of life because spaces may influence ones mind and behaviour.

RELAXATION (e.g.) This kind of spatial characteristic mostly generated by a pleasant and comfortable environment. This quality is also by introducing soothing sounds such as water cascading and sounds of birds occupying the whole space.
