5.8 Harmony technique and Qi prospect

With respect to the aspect of Unity: (1) the similarity in concepts has been shown in the comparison of attributes; and (2) the compatibility in application has been illustrated by the results in these questions. Only the characters of Five Elements, which carry their own unique identification, can facilitate the Unity manifestation in the garden landscape design. In this research, the distinct shape characteristics of the Five Elements are studied as applied in garden design. Although this survey did not take into account other aspects of the Five Elements such as materials, textures and colours, it helps achieve a simple elegant Unity of the design. This is a very promising result.

5.8 Harmony technique and Qi prospect

Since the Qi prospect is matched with the Harmony technique of modern landscape design, the compatibility of the matching pair is tested in the following questions. In this part, three questions employing the principle of Qi prospect in a garden were proposed. The purpose of these three questions is to determine the selection of the respondents in such contexts of landscape, which are: A natural landscape with pond; trees and hill (Question 22); man-made landscapes with parks, streets and buildings (Question 23); and a residential landscape near a river (Question 24) based on the Harmony technique.
