Sojourns in nature : the origins of the British rock gardenSchnare, Susan Elizabeth January 1994 (has links)
The popularity of the rock garden is seen as a late nineteenth century phenomenon, which followed the creation of the Backhouse Nursery rock garden in York, England, in 1859, although a few earlier gardens are sometimes mentioned as isolated incidents. This thesis proposes that the rock garden evolved out of efforts to cultivate alpine and rock plants, and traces interest in their collection back to sixteenth century Europe. A terraced garden at le Jardin des Plantes, Montpellier, France, indicates that by 1598 there was interest in simulating specialized plant habitats. The earliest known rock garden was built in Orford, England, about 1767, and by the early nineteenth century, rock gardens were popular garden features, as may be seen from the numbers of articles in the horticultural press. From these published accounts, the design, construction, culture, planting, and maintenance of rock gardens are compared and studied. As proof that rock gardens were created as places to grow alpine and rock plants from the first, lists of alpine and rock plants recommended for gardens between 1789 and 1856 are analyzed. The majority of the plants on these lists were low, spreading, needed the improved drainage offered by the structure of the rock garden, and, to a lesser extent, had alpine origins. Between 1789 and 1856 the reasons for plant choice did not change significantly. This thesis explores the origins of the rock garden, studies its history, and analyzes its structure and plants to place it in context with the rest of landscape history.

The congruent garden: an investigation into the role of the domestic garden in satisfying fundamental human needsSteven, Michael Lawrence, School of L&scape Architecture, UNSW January 1997 (has links)
An interest in the application of the concept of sustainability to the design of the domestic garden lead to the realisation that the social dimensions of sustainable design, that is, the capacity of the garden to meet human needs, was poorly understood. In the interests of achieving an holistic understanding of the hole of the domestic garden in meeting human needs, fourteen gardeners from rural north-west Hawkesbury were interviewed on the role that gardens and gardening plays in their everyday lives. Using Max-Neef's theory of needs and satisfiers as a reference and applying the principles of qualitative data analysis, the interview transcripts were analysed to identify evidence for the satisfaction of fundamental human needs in the lives of the participants, their partners and families. It was established that gardens and gardening have the potential to satisfy human needs within all nine of Max-Neef's axiological categories of need (Subsistence, Protection, Affection, Understanding, Participation, Leisure, Creation, Identity, Freedom) and across all fours existential states (Being, Having, Doing and Interacting). To present the data in terms which might usefully inform the practice of garden design, key satisfiers identified from the data were conceptualised into themes, which in turn became the basis for five conceptual models (Dwelling, Nurture, Pleasure, Enlightenment and "Being" Fully Human) which serve to define the broad domains within which needs might be satisfied within the garden. Collectively, these five conceptual models constitute the Congruent Garden. A series of garden prototypes relating to the themes of each conceptual model are proposed as the basis for the delivery of garden-related satisfiers. Some suggestions are made on the matter of further research work arising from this initial study.

Environmental benefits of indoor living wallChoi, Ka-wing, 蔡家穎 January 2013 (has links)
Indoor living wall is a newly developed greening technology that make use of facade to green the interior side of building. Owing to the limited land space in Hong Kong, indoor living wall becomes a new greening alternative in the urban area. Currently, there are three common types of systems: Felt, modular and trellis. Although outdoor living wall is more popular, indoor type is gaining more popularity as it can bring certain environmental benefits to building occupants. However, the construction and operations of indoor living wall will also cause damage to the environment. Under this circumstances, it is important to evaluate the environmental benefits and drawbacks of different indoor living wall systems and thus to find out the most beneficial one.
The methodologies used in this study includes literature review, life cycle assessment (LCA), questionnaire and a technical visit. Through studying the literature, the current development and the knowledge gap is identified. This method is also used for summarizing the air purification ability of indoor plants and the living wall.
After gaining the fundamental knowledge of the topics, LCA will be conducted to assess the environmental damage of resources, human health and ecosystem. The modular and felt systems under different disposal scenarios will be compared. The LCA results show that modular system has more benefits than the felt system. Also, using recycled material and disposal method is more environmentally friendly than landfills.
Afterwards, technical visits to Exchange Tower and IFC 1 is carried out to find out the difficulties encountered during the operation of the living wall. Finally, an online survey is launched which aims at collecting public attitude towards implementation of the indoor living wall as well as how the system affects their psycho. The public shows a supportive attitude for the implementation of system, and they do think the system can help them to reduce stress and pressure.
Recommendations are made for the design considerations and the way to enhance benefits. The suggestions on planning and environmental performance of indoor living wall are summarized in the form of checklists. / published_or_final_version / Environmental Management / Master / Master of Science in Environmental Management
