The second principle of garden design is order. And by order I mean the underlying framework of your design. Now we're talking visual order and that is created by establishing a coordinated composition of shapes and materials. And that brings us back to our form composition and design approach that we talked about earlier. And remember the overall objective of using form composition and design approach is to create an order in your design. So once you have the underlying framework of your design, and the design approach has been established, there are three main ways to introduce order into your plan and that is use of symmetrical or asymmetrical design and a mass collection.

And by this I mean how you arrange and organize different elements of your plan. This will primarily be in planting schemes You can also use polls or any other accessories to introduce and embellish reinforce your design solutions. So again, let's take a look at some examples of this principle. So I was mentioning how form composition and design approach can introduce visual order to plan. So we are now looking at the plan view of Frank Lloyd Wright. Fallingwater house in Pennsylvania, a rectangular design approach, pay attention, it has these strong lines to it.

And it looks a bit Static from a plan view perspective. But when you look at the actual architecture of the building, you can see how using elevation and different layers can create an amazing architecture. So don't let the idea of design approach feel like a straitjacket. It's actually giving you that visual order, that sense of structure to your design that get your plants even more interesting. And then the materials that you select will give either the formality or informality that you want to see. So this next project we see a very strong symmetrical design to tall Italian cypress trees are framing the home at the background and then the waterwheel that cuts right through down the axis between the two symmetrical brick walkway steps going up on each side of the rail.

Again, we have a symmetrical planting the privet hedging on each side of the walkway, which is about one and a half meters wide on each side. So enough space for two people to walk side by side. In this design, we are looking at a conceptual planting plan with a symmetrical planting. So we're talking about numbers three and two, five and seven, one into that kind of idea. So we have two conceptual trees here on the Right, and the further we have three conceptual trees. So this planting works very well in this particular instance.

In this case, we are looking at Mass collection. And by mass collection, we are looking at taking our plant material, as oftentimes talking about symmetrical, symmetrical and mass collection are going to refer to your planting and how you grew up these elements into your design. Planting in the math meaning a greater number than seven are seen as a big single unit. And so they unify within that same composition as a mass planting. And so I've used this as in addition to this, I've also used what's called interconnections. So I'm wrapping planting materials around each other, but mass planting creates an order by creating this overall visual unity on the planting scheme.

So ordering your design is going to be established By form, composition and design approach, and after that you create the underlying framework, you're going to embellish it by using the three planes of enclosure, the base, vertical and overhead. And after that, you're going to use symmetry, symmetry and mass collection to plump it up, especially in your planting plants, but not exclusively, and you're going to use that to create movement and greater design. So that's it for order and then in the next lesson, we're going to be talking about written time and movement. I'll see you there
