Principle& Elements of Landscape Design

Symmetrical and asymmetrical balance, focalization, simplicity, rhythm, and unity are principles of landscape design. Color, line, form, texture, and scale are elements used. Balance can be symmetrical, with identical sides, or asymmetrical, with unequal visual weight balanced. Focalization draws the eye to a focal point. Simplicity avoids clutter. Rhythm uses repetition to lead the eye through the landscape. Unity repeats elements to produce a cohesive design.
