Sacred Geometry:
A valuable asset within Architectural Landscaping

•The use of geometry as a design tool has taken us on an interesting journey from the ancient gardens of Persia to the parterres of Renaissance Europe and even to our contemporary gardens.

•The shapes in our garden greatly influence the way we view and experience it. We use circles, squares, rectangles and triangles, divided and connected to one another, to mesh into formal design. Geometric shapes delineate boundaries, create spaces and channel views.

•Every civilization has its share of sacred places, that is, geographical locations, buildings, monuments, or environmental features, such as mountains, lakes, rocks, waterfalls, gardens and so on, that are believed to be endowed with intense spiritual qualities. Indeed, such places are frequently thought to possess a variety of supernatural powers that can heal, rejuvenate, or otherwise affect the human beings who visit them, often as devout pilgrims. They are also sometimes thought to be the focal points of creation, like the golden section and the places where deities first manifested themselves or performed some fundamental actions and are thus typically steeped in mythology and theological dogmas.
