The environment is basically the use of different elements and their appropriate placement next to the composition to make the outdoor space more beautiful. Landscaping is a discipline in the construction industry. For example, creating space in a residential area or in the area of a house or a single-family building, everything is included in the landscaping material.
In simple words, landscaping can be defined as a method of using and placing different elements in a space. Maybe at first you could tab and look at it to identify the green space, but it’s not. Landscaping is not only about planting flowers and plants and creating a green space in the yard of a villa or apartment. More precisely, in addition to creating a green space in the greening plan, elements such as pavilions, barbecues, fountains, rivers, ponds, etc. are based on safety standards and principles.
In order to create space and implement it, you must get the help of experts who are skilled in this matter. Because these people can create that beautiful environment that you expect. A large number of people have realized that having a beautiful space that brings them peace, therefore, fans of interior decoration and landscape design are increasing day by day. Maybe they have some of these people that it just doesn’t seem like a very reasonable thing to spend and implement. But the fact is that people are forced to spend this cost due to changing their lifestyle and moving away from the natural environment.
Where is the proper landscaping?
Landscaping is not limited to a specific place, and any space that has a view and is somehow placed in the path of passage is suitable for building a place. Landscaping in the building can include green space, and for a large land with different uses, the design of the area can be done. The bigger the space, the designer must spend more time and energy and must design under conditions that will increase. Landscape designers and architects should pay attention to many points for each space according to the characteristics and limitations that exist, some of these points will be discussed below.
What are the important points in green space design?
Plants are the main factor in the design of green spaces and the role of materials in creating a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere.
In fact, plants can play a role in creating a space due to their specific characteristics, i.e. their volume, shape and geometric form.
In green space design, plants can be used as wall, ceiling and floor.
For example, if plants are planted in piles and rows, they can be in the form of a wall. and forms a green wall.
Wide and dense branches on the top of the trees can be a good option for the roof, which some gazebos create in the same way.
Therefore, plants in a space can easily provide different separators that not only make up your green space, but also can create a suitable division for you.
After the implementation of a general plan, it may be in the design process of other parts that require changes in the green space, so a designer and landscape and landscaping should consider all these possibilities for engineers for changes and design the environment. . It has maintained its coherence after making changes and reforms.
One of the important points in the design of the green space is zoning and division, and in more popular terms, correct and appropriate placement for plants and trees.
That is, in the appropriate allocation of spaces for plants and trees according to the climatic and behavioral characteristics of plants for their growth in the future and increasing the density of each plant.
These considerations are part of considering possible changes for any green space, in fact, foresight is one of the important points in green space design.
How is the environment of the small yard of the house?
According to the previous statements, the smaller the space, the more carefully you should pay attention to the landscaping of the yard. In urban spaces and residential complexes, with a beautiful space, you can bring a lot of attraction to residents and guests, and therefore the value of the property. have the you went up
Using concrete wash and lighted concrete wash instead of regular mosaics will give your residence a better look. Using river rock instead of grass reduces maintenance and irrigation costs for residents by more than 70%.
Environ mentalization and spatial conditions of the environment
One of the most important things that should be done before designing with any user is to check the location of the area. Perhaps one of the important things that some projects fail or do not achieve results is the lack of careful attention to this stage of work. Investigation of the location includes such things as the climate of the area, collecting information about the plant species of the area, wind direction, soil condition, water condition, irrigation type.
Also, the limitations that exist for the design and implementation of the environment should be carefully examined. For example, some trees may be missing, or facilities and buildings may be in place that cannot be removed or relocated. Another limitation that can be placed in front of the designer is financial limitations. For this reason, the designer must keep financial limitations in mind. If the employer considers a significant amount for the cost of environmental design and environment construction, high quality materials can be used. No matter how much should be considered for the initial work, the lack of need for repairs and restoration of various parts in the future will be as minimal as possible.
What is landscaping and the need to do it?
In our country, Iran, due to the different weather conditions, the amount of energy consumption for cooling and heating is different in each region. The use of trees and plants not only in energy consumption for heating and heating the environment can have a direct effect on the amount of heating and cooling of the environment.
One of the problems and problems of mankind is air and air inversion, and the ways to deal with this development and the expansion of green spaces around the places of human life, and green space is one of these ways. In today’s academic sciences, landscaping is also called landscape architecture.
Spatialization in architecture
The term landscape architecture can be interpreted in such a way that any profession that aims to design and organize landscape is called landscape architecture. In simple language, landscape architecture is a combination of urban engineering sciences along with architectural architecture, which deals with the design and spatialization of open space.
From the characteristics of privatization in architecture, I can create friendship and closeness between man and the environment around him. Also, one of the features of landscape architecture and environment development is the expansion of the relationship between man and nature, the induction of life and peaceful environment to the human soul, the restoration and improvement of the green space damaged by human hands, and the expansion of the horizon of human vision to the visual beauty of the surrounding environment.
Soil sampling
As mentioned, soil investigation is one of the important things that should be taken into consideration at the beginning of the work. Poor quality soil makes construction work with serious problems, that’s why measures should be taken to improve the soil. For this purpose, the soil must be sampled and examined in the laboratory. Another thing that should not be overlooked is to check the condition of the soil before implementing the green space.
One of the important reasons that exist in some projects is not paying attention to the condition of the soil. Maybe a green space engineer or soil engineer can find out the general condition of the soil by touching or looking at it. But sometimes, in some plant species, other things such as soil pH are also investigated.
For this purpose, the soil must be properly sampled and sent to the soil laboratory. The importance of this matter is that there will be two hundred people in a situation where the landscaping of a lawn is discussed. Some plants and trees are sensitive to soil salinity or lime. As a result, it is necessary to know the condition of the soil and plants, and usually, instead of amending the soil, resistant plants should be chosen.
Landscaping map and plan
One of the very important things that must be considered before designing the plan is the mapping of the area. Mapping in all fields, especially large fields, is one of the most important tasks that should not be ignored. Mapping, especially with special devices such as theodolite and total, makes the situation of excavation and embankment special for landscaping. This step should be done carefully and it is better for Imran to take over.
Make simple designs!
After collecting detailed information, landscape designers and architects should start designing the site. For this purpose, at first, simple and more designs should be done according to the client’s taste and considering the limitations. After the initial plan is prepared by manual etude or the initial plan in the software, the first step must be finalized with the employer so that, in the case of the employer, the plan will be made in the form of three models.
The cost of designing the design is higher, but the advantage of doing this cannot be denied. Because the landscaping can be seen before implementation. In fact, the design of the green space will be more tangible for the employer in this way, and all the mentioned items will save time and make things more targeted.
Modern and classic villa landscaping
Villas, especially villas outside the city, are very popular and people like to devote hours of their time to the villa. This issue has doubled the zoning of the villa. Considered, it will be visually confusing. The environment of the villa can help to create the environment. Those gardens that are landscaped will have more purposeful spaces. In addition, it is easier to access plants and solutions to them in the conditions where villa landscaping takes place.
Landscaping in architecture has no limits, and as mentioned, design can be done for any space. But the environment of the villa receives more attention than before. The landscaping plan of the villa should be with the size of the land. In other words, in small areas, the building and facilities should not be considered so much that the green space of the villa is actually more than the building.
In small plots of land, where a large area of them is used for a dedicated building, there is practically a planting for plants. The plants that are chosen for the green space of the villa with these specifications should be short with soft texture or fine texture. The use of trees such as Shiraz cedar, Naz cedar, potted cedar for small spaces in the region. In addition, in the design of the green space of a small plot, I cannot use a pool, pond and fountain at the same time because it does not want to have another effect.
Landscaping of the villa is as important as the design of the villa itself, and it should be designed and implemented only efficiently for that time.
It is necessary to say that landscaping is not only for villas, in other places, residential complexes, office and commercial buildings, arcades and shopping and entertainment centers and restaurants, hospitals, hotels, etc. have the
But what is relevant in the field of activities of Vera Design Sperlos Company is villa landscaping.
You must imagine beautiful pictures and photos of villa garden landscaping of many villas. The visual beauty of an environment is an important point and the main priority in the villa area, but the most beautiful villa landscaping is not only beautiful, but also has the necessary standards in design and landscape, as well as all the factors used. has been At that time, be fully efficient with the needs of the employer, especially in the landscaping of a small villa where you are faced with the space and choose the right one instead of the landscape design elements of the art and skill of an engineer. It requires landscape.
How is the environment of the villa yard?
In the past, people were involved in villa design, but over time, clever placement has also received attention. If a villa is well designed and executed, but its yard is not considered, the beauty of the villa will be questioned. The villa yard should be designed according to the style of the villa. For example, I can’t design the courtyard of the villa in a naturalistic or classic style for a villa designed in a modern style.
The disproportion between the building and the area will create visual confusion for the audience. Designing a villa yard is a specialized work, and for this purpose, the help of landscape and green space engineers should be sought. The selection of plants in the design of the villa courtyard is as important as the selection of materials, so to achieve the best results, the work must have the necessary cooperation with the executive engineer for the selection of plants.
What are the types of landscape design styles?
For the landscaping of the garden and its building, a specific style should be considered. Spas can be done in styles that can be classical (Moroccan garden, Italian garden, French garden, Spanish, English garden before the 18th century), modern style (contemporary American garden), naturalistic style (Japanese garden, Chinese garden), garden English after the 18th century) pointed out. Landscaping in the form of an Iranian garden is in the classic style, and for the size of the garden in this style, it must be from above, and the small space is not suitable for this type of garden design.
In the Moroccan style, tropical plants such as palms are dominant. Garden landscaping in the Moroccan style is more suitable for the south and north of the country, although according to some arrangements, it can also be implemented in other parts of the country and in cold weather. Landscaping in the French style becomes one of the good options for designing places in cold regions. Because the plants of this style are resistant to cold. For other types, there are no different types of gardening in terms of plants, and you can design a place according to other styles as well.
Landscaping of the hospital
The design of the hospital campus or hospital construction has many differences with the construction in other places. The design of the hospital campus is based on specific criteria, and architects and landscape designers must review the latest guidelines in this regard. In the discussion of green space design and implementation of hospital green space, special attention should be paid to some points.
For example, they should avoid using allergenic plants or plants that pollute a lot. A plant such as pampas grass, which is often used for rock gardens, ponds and outdoor fountains, should not be chosen in the design of the green space of the plant. The seeds of this plant are easily suspended in the air and there is a possibility of their entering the hospital. Covering plants become one of the very good options for hospitals to prevent dirt and dust to a large extent. Despite having a high water requirement, grass helps soften the space and can be used in the design of hospital grounds due to its soft texture.
One of the grass is sound reduction. Especially in the situation that in the design of the green space, the tree is also considered inside the lawn area. One should only pay attention to the fact that animal manure, especially its fresh type, should be used as much as possible during the implementation of the green space. Because it will become a gathering place for insects. To reduce the problems caused by animal manure, it seems logical to compost. The flowers that are used in the green space of hospitals or mental asylums should have neutral colors such as white to create a feeling of relaxation. It is not logical to use plants with rough texture in the design of the green space of the hospital or mental asylum.
Garden landscaping
Building a garden complex depends on many factors. Here we briefly state two of them, which are the most important factors of the use of your garden, that is, it is simply a garden with trees or plants, or a fruit garden is very important.
But in general, the landscaping of the garden or villa garden includes the following steps and activities:
Presenting the initial design according to architectural principles, standard infrastructures and aesthetic principles
Selection of building materials according to the quality and attractiveness of the client, the type and climatic conditions of the region, beauty and harmony with the design style of the villa garden.
Designing and making the elements and objects used in their placement and placement
Adding decorative elements and decorative objects such as gazebos, pergola, fountains, living rooms and fireplaces, etc.
Tabulation, floor construction, and top dressing are among the most important principles of garden landscaping and in the useful life of a suitable and standard location.
Finally, flower arrangements, regular planting of plants and trees, and beautiful and specialized lighting can shape your garden.
Landscaping of the garden with gazebos and fountains
If you make your villa garden spacious, landscaping the garden with gazebos and pergola is one of the best and most popular options that will have less negative response.
When you decide to create an environment, with the aim of using the outdoor space, you like the fact that you can enjoy the beauty of your environment in any weather condition and in any season of the year.
Gazebo and pergola is one of the practical accessories in garden landscaping.
Gazebo provides a living space for customers and also protects you in different weather conditions. The gazebo should be placed in a place that firstly gives people the best view of the surrounding environment and secondly, it should not be in the windy path.
The next element in landscaping is the fountain. Garden fountains are types of modern fountains, wall fountains, rock fountains, fountains, etc. The fountain gives an extremely beautiful appearance and visual appeal to your villa’s garden yard. Fountains can be designed and executed in combination with swimming pools or gardens, or they can be placed completely independently and to create a point that everything depends on the conditions and size of the environment and other elements in the garden.
