Architecture and Landscape- where do they intersect!?

Across the globe, the number of major projects blending built forms with natural elements is growing every year. Landscape architecture is not just a specialization but also a key aspect of how we understand our structures. Want to improve the way you experience architecture? Here are some ways we can see their interaction!

Here are some such ways that we can see their interaction!

1. Extending interior space to the exterior

Being mindful of adjacent spaces can increase the use of both interior and exterior areas simply by extending interior space to the exterior.

2. Strategically designing external surfaces

Concrete can be designed to act as thermal masses or green surfaces can be designed to absorb heat according to contextual climate.

3. Manipulate light or heat gain

Designing a more reflective surface to bounce indirect light, or using a softer surface such as plant material to reduce longwave radiation from asphalt.

4. Making an impact on occupants

By creating a built environment that's a positive example of responsible environmental design, we're doing our part to pass along these important considerations to the next generation.

5. Connecting to the larger community

Building a set of apartments on a site is traditional, but it's impossible to manage stormwater for the same site without considering the surrounding homes and streets, the larger community, the city, and even the region.
