    Landscape and architecture are interrelated. Nature provides peace and should be respected in building design. Architects now consider landscape and strive for harmony between buildings and their natural surroundings. Historic examples, like the gardens of the Taj Mahal, also demonstrate the importance of landscape in architecture from both aesthetic and religious perspectives. The Taj Mahal gardens follow a traditional Islamic "Charbagh" layout divided into four sections, representing the gardens of paradise.

    LANDSCAPE IN ARCHITECTURE

    The good building is not one that hurts the landscape, but one which makes the landscape
    more beautiful than it was before the building was built.
    ---By Frank Lloyd Wright
    Landscape and architecture are related to one another as we all know that our mother recites
    in the trees and earth and all other forms of nature that our ancestors praised and worshipped.
    It is the origin and the end of life. We humans have originated from nature therefore it is
    necessary to be connected to it. Also there are various surveys that say that nature provides
    peace to us therefore it is important to be connected to nature which comprises of flora and
    fauna and all the forms. But due our needs and the amount we have exploited it for our need
    we provide landscape that is shaping of land accordingly for psychological and aesthetical
    needs.
    The architects have found a way in between the two now the building and the landscape go
    hand in hand with the material we use and the amount of energy a building consumes.
    The green building and the sustainable building both have different aspects that respect
    nature in their own ways.
    Even the history give importance to landscape for example the char bagh in Taj mahal is a
    Persian, Indo-Persian, and Islamic quadrilateral garden layout based on the four gardens of
    Paradise mentioned in the Qur'an. The quadrilateral garden is divided by walkways or
    flowing water into four smaller parts. They are found in countries throughout Western Asia
    and South Asia, including Iran and India.

    Trees: Cyprus & Fruit Bearing


    Type: formal and private
    Plan: geometric
    The gardens in the Mughal era were heavily
    influenced by the Persian style. The Holy Quran
    describes the paradise as a garden, so we see that
    most of Mughal monuments mostly always
    accompany beautiful gardens as representation
    of heaven. The Taj mahal garden are no
    exception and have been designed in the
    “Charbagh” style, that is, divided into four parts,
    the number four being a sacred number in Islam.
