 Belt Collins International   Belt Collins international is a Hon Kong based architectural firm. This company produced many considerable designs. I personally loved with the design of  Ningbo Lakeside Mansion in China. The design of the mansion inspired by French gardens.  The centre part of the mansion created as a symmetrical view. Phase making and the proportions are helping to achieve the aim of  create a comfortable environment visually & functionally. The inner road networks are very impressive. The road network improves the connectivity from the mansion building to  the park area. The height and the width of the trees are limited in to certain values.    

Kathryn Gustafson Kathryn Gustafson is a well talented landscape architect with more than 40 years of industrial experience. She formed 2 massive architectural firms (GGN in Seattle, Gustafson Porter in London)  and providing huge projects . Kathryn considers all organic and important matters in her design. Such as, seasons, air, sunlight, heat, wind. She won many honourable awards like Design award @ 2008 ASLA  Design medal, 8 th Obayashi Prize in Japan.  I impressed with the landscape design of the Eifel tower.  In earlier times,  there were lot of issues and constraints identified. Such as,  1. Over Crowding  2. Insufficient access  3. Shortage in utility services  4. Too many gardens located near to the Eiffel tower and those gardens prevented the real experiences of the Eiffel tower and it surroundings.  To solve those mentioned issues, Gustafson Porter + Bowman firm  designed an aesthetic landscape design.     

I've tried to redraw some sequential sketches and some concept for northplace

  Field operations             The High Line - New York  A 1.45-mile railway track in Manhattan was transformed into a mixed-use public park in 2009. In my view, that was a great transformation. The elements of the parks are,  1. Walkways   2. Benches  3. Lounges  4. Perennials  5. Planting beds  6. Vegetation ( more than 1200 species )  This high-line park attracts more than 7 million people annually.  This high-line park helps to increase the visual impact and attract birds and insects to the park because of their biophilic designs.

The green area of the burj kalifa was designed by  SWA.  Bird eye view from burj kalifa  Basically, this is a concentric view and design. The way ornamental plants are planted is very nice, and the arc view provides the best view from the bruj kalifa. The concrete and granite pathways provide good vibes, and the reflective pool attracts people very well. During the summer, the hot outside air and the cold inside air will produce condensation. Every year, 15 million gallons of water are collected and drained with the best drainage system, and the collected water is used for irrigation purposes in the town park. The landscape area of the 'Burj Kalifa' is inspired by biomimicry. When I was sea
