Similarly, the Blithewold Gardens, located in Bristol, RI, were specifically constructed to take advantage of the garden's proximity to water in the form of Narragansett Bay. Within its 33 acres, Blithewold contains several garden types, including a rock garden, a rose garden, a display garden, a garden designed for celebrations and functions, and its water garden and rock garden located near the shore.
Thus, another similarity Blithewold shares with Shalimar is the fact that it is segmented based upon the intended functionality of the design of the garden. For example, "the more formal North Garden whose lush, deep borders are the background for weddings and other social functions" ("Blithewold Gardens," Blithewold Mansion, Gardens & Arboretum, 2009). The North Garden is designed to showcase the human beings that inhabit it. In contrast, the Water Garden is designed as a place of solitary reflection.
Like Shalimar, Blithewold was once designed as a private sanctuary for the wealthy, but now is an area where the public can enjoy themselves. However, unlike Shalimar, where the focus is upon the sculptured nature of the...
For example, in "the Rose Garden a centenarian Chestnut Rose dominates" and "the Enclosed Garden with its undulating lawn, curved pathways, and Summerhouse...looks out on one of the tallest Giant Sequoias on the east coast" ("Blithewold Gardens," Blithewold Mansion, Gardens & Arboretum, 2009). In contrast to the planned style of Shalimar, there is no symmetrical chahar bagh style to the overall layout of Blithewold or to any of the specific, individual gardens -- even the Water Garden has a winding path rather than the neat divides of the "Abode of Love."

Interior Design and Theories "Architects everywhere have recognized the need of… a tool which may be put in the hands of creators of form, with the simple aim… of making the bad difficult and the good easy" (Corbusier). Interior Design is considered to be a multi-faced art where an array of different arts and projects come together to turn a given space into an effective setting for the required purpose. In the
In principle, all of my individual solutions looked good on paper and "worked" even after implementation; however, the inconveniences associated with some of the options should have been considered in the design phase. For one simple example, I chose a sleeper sofa and matching coffee table that was easily movable at night; it also worked nicely as a desk area during the day time in a small studio apartment.

Thus Egyptian interior decor, art, and design may be contrasted with the art of Greece and Rome during the ancient, classical era. This triumph of art over nature as exhibited in Egyptian art and design, however, did not merely speak to the fashioners of this national language of art. It

Environmental Design Environmental & Interior Design_ Environment for Disabled and elderly population Environmental design: Summary Preface At times, it has been difficult to reconcile environmental design with aesthetics and the practical needs of populations. Environmental design strives to serve the needs of the persons who inhabit spaces rather than focus on the aesthetics of architecture alone. Environmental psychology is the study of how inhabitants relate to the area they inhabit and how design can
