Effective planning and designing of any building is a crucial step towards its making. The architects do a commendable job by collecting all the vague ideas and putting them into reality in a 3d form. There are various forms for styling buildings. We have a tremendous amount of gorgeous architectural designs and gardens that were designed several years ago and still stand strong, their beauty is yet undefeated. Historical architectures hold a special place in our hearts and the way we admire them remains unchanged. Despite great machinery and advanced technology, we fail to construct buildings that are as strong as the earlier ones. The skill acquired by the laborers who made these admirable buildings was exceptionally amazing and that must be considered because nothing would have come to life without these people who worked hard and devoted their time and affection in making them.

Some admirable architectural buildings…

The best example of Mughal architecture is the world-famous Taj Mahal, situated in Agra, India. Designed by Ustad Ahmad Lahauri, the monument is a blend of several architectural styles such as Indian, Persian, and Islamic. It is well known for its perfect symmetrical planning and execution, it encapsulates rational and strict geometry. The Makrana marble’s shine has made it one of the most loved tourist spots.

Famous for its massive dome, also referred to as the epitome of Byzantine architecture, the Hagia Sophia dome, a cathedral of Istanbul, Turkey attains a gorgeous architectural design. The flawless dome is supported by four pendentives standing at each corner of the square base. Isidore used the pendentives which marked the first large-scale incorporation and became distinctive of Byzantine architecture. It remained the world’s largest cathedral for about a thousand years until Seville Cathedral was built in 1520.

With the usage of a deconstructivist style of architecture, the Croatian architect Vlado Milunić along with Frank O. Gehry and British architect of Czech origin Eva Jiřičná gave the world a real masterpiece. Their cooperation led to the existence of the Dancing House, situated in Prague, Czech Republic. The dancing shape is supported by 99 concrete panels, each with distinctive dimensions and shapes. On the extreme top of the building lies a structure made of a metal called ‘Mary’. The monument’s unusual shape and its architectural style are known as deconstructivist.

Villa d’Este in Tivoli, Italy is a stunning architectural building. In 1550, Cardinal Ippolito II d’Este was honored by the governorship of Tivoli. He began building a villa and gardens for himself that would equate to any in Rome. The steep, terraced landscape is filled with grottoes, sculpture, and statuary, however, the dominant feature of the villa is water, which d’Este’s architects channeled into canals, ponds, and a multitude of fountains.

Nature enhances the architects’ creativity

Just like the way architectural elements add up to the magnificent beauty of a building, gardens naturally, enhance the beauty of any place. The fresh green grasses, colorful plants, and trees are a treat to the eyes for sure!

A Brazilian landscape architect Benedito Abbud said, “Landscaping is the only artistic expression in which the five senses of the human being participate. While architecture, painting, sculpture, and other visual arts use and abuse only the vision, landscaping also involves smell, hearing, taste, and touch, providing a rich sensory experience by adding the most diverse and complete perceptual experiences. The more a garden can sharpen all the senses, the better it fulfills its role. “

While some areas of gardens are acquired by vegetation, free areas are essential for people to relax, spend time with their friends, family, or pets, and admire nature’s beauty.

For designing gardens many certain key points have to be kept in mind. How trees and plants will be placed so that there is ample space for people to sit back and enjoy the view and spend quality time with their loved ones is a very crucial thing to consider.

In Spain, during the Muslim rule, Muhammad ibn al Ahmar of the Nasrid dynasty established a royal residence at Alhambra. A complex that comprises 35 acres of palaces, terraces, and gardens high in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Its several elements, such as the courtyards, featuring symmetrical planting, architectural elements, and ubiquitous fountains, pools, and rills, are an excellent example of Moorish landscape design, which used shade and water to simulate paradise. Earlier this beautiful creation was neglected but now it finally gained admiration and is Spain’s one of the most cherished historic landmarks.

The Rock Garden at Ryoanji, Kyoto, Japan is considered one of Japan’s most important Zen dry gardens and has been widely referenced and imitated around the world. It is situated in a small Buddhist temple complex, the garden is deceptively simple. It acquires certain elements such as rocks, raked gravel, and a smattering of moss set in a 98-by-32-foot rectangular courtyard.

These were a few architectural buildings and gardens that have gained great attention and are admired worldwide for their creativity and the different combinations of architectural styles that portray the creativity of the architect and the laborers involved in their construction. Immense planning and critical analysis of every possible aspect have to be taken into consideration before building any architectural building. The designs, the elements, materials to be used are also very important decisions because one has to acquire great imaginary skills to picture which material will enhance the beauty of the building and make the different styles and carvings stand out and seek the attention that it deserves.
