Paradise Found – Gardens of Enchantment shows the world’s most beautiful gardens, from English gardens and romantic rose gardens to enchanting nature gardens. The evocative photographs and excellent plant portraits by Clive Nichols, a master of using light to create mood, are equally moving and inspiring. Classic garden stories and quotes accompany the reader through this volume on a visual stroll through nature.

CLIVE NICHOLS is one of the world’s best-known garden and plant photographers and has received many awards for his work. His photos have appeared in countless magazines, books, and calendars.

Abstract:

Carry forward Regional Context

Exploration of local features and traditional context creates spaces that shows care and respect for people, spreads charm of history and beauty of encounter of the new and the old. Correct treatment for relationship between protection of historical context and new construction can better realize planning that suits local conditions. Close connection of cultural landscape with natural environment creates spaces with new features. Seaming various spaces with cultural context can blend the new and the old into a whole.
 
Create a Harmonious Neighborhood

With development of cities, the role of community shifts from a place of living to a place that cares people’s well-being. Whether traditional warm family moments can be brought back in life in modern communities attracts wide attention. A harmonious neighborhood not only facilitates life, study and work, but also has a positive impact on community development. Creation of a harmonious neighborhood needs to make behaviors of associating and activity attributes as major factors in planning, build up public facilities, optimize layout of dwellings and strengthen connection of spaces to promote communication among neighbors under one roof.
 
Promote Value of Commercial Facilities

To optimize layout of commercial real estate, the solution is equilibrium, which refers to balance and compatibility among commercial forms, brands and layouts. Equilibrium contributes to mutual promotion for different markets and categories of commodities. Furthermore, it will enhance all-round development and maximize commercial value.
