During the trip in Copenhagen, I found that water is a widly

used element in landscape designs.

They are designed in different ways and in various forms. Water

makes landscape vibrant and influences

people's movements.Peaceful

"Children need to interact physically with their environment and a sandbox or water source (especially in combination) can occupy the greatest number of children for the longest period of time."

We are always outside the water: walking along streams, sitting beside ponds, crossing

the river through stepping stones, but we can also stay inside the water.

Nothing between two rows of trees

people just walk pass

What if a fountain between them?

People start to have interaction with the

landscape

What if a still surface water pond?

The reflection of water build connection

between landscape.

When I was walking inside this park, surrounded by tall trees and other vegetation along the route, it would

be easy to lose direction. However, the river inside the park give me a

roughly sense of direction and guide me to continue walking.

The trees along the rive side also encourage people to explore further.
