Liu Fang Yuan, the Garden of Flowing Fragrance, is one of the largest Chinese gardens
outside China. Designed to create, preserve, and promote the rich and complex traditions of Chinese
culture, this authentic garden is a special place for visitors to feel inspired by the elegant harmony
of nature and poetry. Thanks to visionary landscape architects and artisans from China and the
United States, inspired historians, expert gardeners, and generous benefactors, Liu Fang Yuan
reflects today an exceptional combination of learning and beauty.
A Chinese garden is often compared to a work of art: It is like a scroll painting composed of carefully arranged scenes. As you stroll through the pathways and pavilions of Liu Fang Yuan, new vistas are revealed as if a scroll were being slowly unrolled. In the garden, as in a painting, several key elements play an important part in creating balance, meaning, and beauty in the composition.

dictionary: "An architect is a person who plans, designs and oversees the construction of buildings"
That's like saying Picasso put paint on canvas...
Where once there was only sky we now have 'The Sky'. - Not just a building occupying space, but an entity becoming part of that space.
In the architect's imagination they envisioned the direct relationship between the physical sky and clouds to the reflected clouds. The soft sky to the Euclidean lines of their structure. - together through their relationship they each achieve presence.
photo: a matter of gradation. As a raging storm approached from behind I aimed toward the tranquil blue sky before me. Capturing the east and west, blues turned gray, the air cooled as the breeze angered to a wind.
In reality all credit for this photo goes to the architect. I just saw what they wanted me to see.

The Roman district of Garbatella was designed in 1920 by famous architects and intended for the working class of the time. The style is the "Roman late baroque", with sinuous shapes that give life to neo-medieval buildings.
the whole district, with the fountains, the buildings, the balconies, the villas, the stuccoes and the green spaces, recalls this concept of the Garden City and can be considered a large open-air monument as well as an example of humanistic architecture
Rotterdam
Cube houses are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest.

Das Kubushaus (auch Kubuswohnung, Baumhaus) ist ein Entwurfsmuster für Wohngebäude, das von dem Architekten Piet Blom auf der Basis von würfelförmigen, auf einer Ecke stehenden Baukörpern entwickelt wurde. In Helmond und Rotterdam wurden zwei Gebäudekomplexe errichtet, die modular aus diesen Baukörpern zusammengesetzt wurden.
Der Kubus mit der Kantenlänge von 7,5 Metern ist gekippt und steht auf einer Ecke, so dass drei Seiten nach unten und drei nach oben zeigen. Blom sprach von „Straßenhaus“ und „Himmelshaus“.

SAINT AUGUSTIN CHURCH
During the second Empire, this neighbourhood, known as 'little Poland', underwent significant redevelopment following construction work by Haussmann – broad straight avenues were laid out and people flocked to live in the new houses built there, greatly increasing the population. A parish was therefore established and a church built, and great care was taken that the church matched the elegance and wealth of the surrounding housing. The architect called in to design Saint Augustin was Victor Baltard, famed for his previous work on the Halles de Paris

Le Tornado est la pièce maîtresse spectaculaire du Fenix. Composée d'acier inoxydable et dotée de deux escaliers en bois majestueux, elle est la dernière-née des constructions architecturales de Rotterdam. Conçue par Ma Yansong du cabinet chinois MAD Architects, la Tornado est à la fois une œuvre d'art et une plateforme panoramique. Située au cœur du musée, elle relie le rez-de-chaussée, le premier étage et le belvédère sur le toit. Au-delà de sa fonction pratique, les escaliers symbolisent le thème central du Fenix : la migration.

The rose garden of Rundāle palace is located on both sides of the ornamental parterre, filling up the areas designed by architect Francesco Rastrelli. Roses were not planted there during the 18th century.
The largest part of the rose garden is taken up by modern roses, which have been grouped by colours, in order for it to be possible to compare the work of various breeders in the formation of a single colour variation. The area closest to the parterre is planted with English roses that resemble old garden roses. There are 52 rose circles dedicated to separate breeders or countries – in them varieties created by 72 breeders from 17 countries can be viewed. Collections of historical roses have been created in the six furthermost beds of the garden. There are rose hedges formed along the eastern and western walls of the garden.
The Rose garden project was started in 2005 and was financially supported by “Latvijas Mobilais Telefons”. The garden was created with a significant help from the Latvian Army and many volunteers.
In total, there are 2230 rose varieties including 600 historical varieties grown in the garden of Rundāle Palace. Although most of the historical varieties only bloom once from late May until mid July, the modern varieties, on the other hand, can flower repeatedly until the first frost. The rose gardens displaying the diversity of species through their forms and hybrids are also very interesting in autumn when visitors are captivated by a variety of colours and forms of rose hips.
