The worked stone bridge on the east side of the Shokintel has a length of about 5. 96 meter, width of about 0. 70 meters and thickness of about 0. 36 meters. When its architectural structure is considered, the stone bridge might appear to be a straight line that is somewhat too strong for a guiding path to a tea garden which should be very natural. Actually, without being at all unnatural, it harmonizes well with spatial composition of the garden architecture.

CONT

In the garden architecture of Katsura Rikyu, the main building of the Shokintei and its enclosure have an important significance, just as in the case of the Shoin. It can be said that the character of Katsura Rikyu's entire garden is represented in the structural design of this building and its garden.

On distingue différentes architectures de jardin : le jardin à l'anglaise : s'inspire des jardins orientaux dits paysagés; dans ce jardin, on trouve de grandes surfaces engazonnées sur un terrain vallonné où coulent parfois des petits cours d'eau; des bouquets d'arbres arrêtent l'œil; des trouées dans les massifs laissent échapper quelques perspectives; le jardin à l'italienne : jardin en terrasses garnies de balustrades, de perrons, de sculptures, de fontaines; des places ombragées permettent de se reposer de l'ardeur du soleil; [...] les fleurs prennent une place peu importante mais l'eau et le feuillage des arbustes persistants assurent à ce jardin raffinement et élégance; le jardin à la française : ici tout est symétrique; la végétation est basse, groupée en parterres, terrasses; des petites bordures de buis encadrent des scènes florales parfaites, géométriques ou légumières [...]

CONT

L'architecture des jardins recèle un écueil particulier qui rompt, sur le terrain, les proportions données au dessin. Ce sont les déformations de la perspective avec lesquelles il faut parfois tricher.

OBS

Le terme «architecture» s'entend ici au sens concret du terme, soit forme, composition, style.

A view is a scene observed from a given vantage point... A view must be analyzed and composed with keenly perceptive artistry to utilize even a fraction of the full dramatic potential. Like other landscape features, the view by its handling may be preserved, neutralized, modified, or accentuated... A view is a picture to be framed, an evolving panorama of many blending facets. A view is a theme... A view is a constantly changing mood conveyed by association, light, and color. A view is a limit of visual space. It transcends the boundaries of the site... A view is a backdrop. It may serve as the wall of a garden or as a mural in a room. A view is the setting for architecture.

The project at Vreewijk... was always intended as the urban expression of Ebenezer Howard's essentially anti-urban ideology of the garden city and was intended from the first to be an extension of Rotterdam. In the first phase, based on the street plan(1913) by H. P. Berlage, Granpré Molière developed a housing typology based on the relationship between urbanism, architecture and planning. This resulted in the second phase of Vreewijk, the extension plan(1920) by Granpré Molière, Verhagen & Kok commissioned by the Eerste Rotterdamsche Tuindorp NV. A private initiative, it was nevertheless based on the belief that urbanism has not only to do with planning but also with expressing contemporary cultural and artistic ambitions, and that therefore it cannot be the result of a single person's intentions nor those of isolated parts of society, be they the state or private initiatives.

CONT

À partir de 1918 la municipalité lance un plan d'aménagement et d'embellissement de Nantes. Il est nécessaire de construire des logements qui font de plus en plus défaut mais il faut faire de Nantes une ville agréable avec des avenues larges, propres, coquettes et animées. Ainsi de nouveaux quartiers vont surgir qui contrasteront avec les anciens. De plan d'embellissement on passe au plan d'extension qui concerne un espace de 9240 hectares alors que la zone urbaine en 1920 n'est que de 2800 hectares. Un programme de grands travaux démarre jusqu'en 1941.

CONT

Suivant cette loi [Loi Cornudet qui constitua la première Charte de l'Urbanisme], toutes les villes de plus de 10,000 habitants [...] sont tenues d'avoir un plan d'aménagement, d'embellissement et d'extension.
