Transcript
"Lets have a go at Designing Japanese Gardens, using the elements we learned in Part 1.
Here we have an aerial view of the backyard. The first thing we must do is site analysis to learn about the site so we can design professionally. If you haven't seen my Site analysis tutorial I strongly recommend watching it to aid your designs.
Site Analysis
From site analysis we have identified a large steep hill to the side of the site, a few different access points, a cool moist climate and some leftover vegetation, which we will remove because they are not traditional Japanese plants and would look out of place.
Functionality
The first thing we should do when designing gardens is to consider the functionality of the site. A garden is only successful if it gets used and people are only going to use it if it functions properly. This means we have to decide on the human circulation throughout the site and arrange viewpoints, which we know are important to Japanese gardens. True to Japanese gardens, I'm including winding paths that create a sense of exploration and mystery in the site. These paths interconnect and also lead to our important access points. The paths lead up the steep hill and logic tells us that this would be a good spot for a view point so I'm going to situate it here. I'm going to draw my lines of vision from this point to other parts of the site and do the same for a different viewpoint. Now we have our lines of vision and circulation mapped out we can design the site around it. This means: don't plant shrubs on a path and don't plant screening trees in a line of vision. Remember your functionality.
Now we have our functionality organised, its time to put things into the garden. To get the natural feel that Japanese gardens aspire to we shall design in this Order:
-Nature
-Hardscapes
-Vegetation
-Extras"

Probably one of THE most informative design videos I’ve come across. You’ve hit on critical elements that I’ve been wanting to know about.
I will echo the concern about the music ( 8 years later ;) ) It’s very distracting and had to follow the narration at times. I’ll watch it again however as this is a gold mine of information. Thanks for sharing this. It will take a long ways down the correct way to relandscaping our new home. (New to us- yards needs serious TLC!)
Cheers!
Whats up with the music?
It looks really informative but I only got halfway through before my Zen went right out of the window. Lose that awful music.
I felt the same way. Its awful. I had to MUTE and read the captions. Not a good way for me to learn.
I like the tutorial. You didn't really need the music, though. It's distracting.
Nice video. But the background is annoying.
Shame about the music. UNWATCHABLE to the end. Moving on...
omg my teacher told me nothing. Thank you for posting this.
Great design,could do without the crappy music
Informative.
Would benefit from photoed of done garden interspersed with the tutorial.
Inappropriate music. Strange!
informative, but HATE that horrible music
You'd think they might use some zen music at least...
Japanese rap
Also had to watch at 2x
music kept me from watching it
Exellent tutorial. Thanks!
Really good information. But the music... oy vay
thanks so much i needed this because the teacher gave me and the class nothing
Your music is bothersome.
such a wonderful video, but poorly chosen rap style background track is very distracting from subject
Cant concentrate with that music in the background....gentle quiet calming music would have been fitting better a japanese garden design
Excellent but the music... not really zen ...
Thanks for sharing.
I love the content, BUT the rock music is very NOT peaceful!
Pamela Arnold
Japanese rap
great movie but that music is awful! Thanks all the same.
hope you will share more about your work
Could you POSSIBLY use more annoying & distracting music in the background?
Very instructive video.Thank you.
The music, however, is very distracting, inexplicably 'busy' compared to the subject matter, and makes the narration hard to hear at points. It's as if you made a great video and then asked someone to vandalise it. Surely you can remove it? It defaces an otherwise excellent video.
The music is very distracting.
Great information. Terrible music. Very annoying.
Did you really need that loud music?
Music completely spoiled it for me? Why did you think this was necessary? Pity.
Agree..I can't listen to him and that music. Please redo it..
Is this teahouse shared with the neighbours? LOL The same goes for the mapple tree...
Neighbours get to the point of homicidal madness for less in my experience...
I really had some interesting neighbours. One planted thorned bushes just outside his property to block kids from taking a shortcut to the playground as he hated children. Another threw clay pots at us for apparently talking too loud. One kidnapped our neighbours dog and released him on the same day without any note, but the subtext was pretty clear... Another one used dogpoo, used cigarettes and old eggs to decorate the neighbours house and car... and that was just the beginning...
The music is horrible. Violates the peace and serenity associated with a Japanese garden. Virtually all the complaints about this go back for years. Why haven’t you done something about it? I, too, couldn’t watch to end because of it.
That music is not needed
Japanese rap
ありがとう！
Good✨
Why this music on background 😢
when is the next video coming?
Do we need to use Japanese plants? Why not native plants that suit the function provided by your selections, screening, seasonal color etc. I see Japanese gardens as designs from nature.
you are right. its not about using japanese species in general. i like too to use native plants and prune them"in a japanese way". and by the way: there are many plants of the same species native in japan aswell as in other countres/regions/continents. and these different subspecies or strains or whatever often look very simular to each other... . but it would fulfill my mind with joy when i had a real japanese black pine or a japanese red pine in my garden anyway :D
OMG!!😟 That music is terrible!
Bailed 2 1/2 minutes in for the annoying background music
Had to give up after a minute due to the horrific music. 😵💫
too noise and distraction too much
I love the way you represent this video but I loose interest watching it... your explanation is competing with the music you incorporate... soo dis appointing... just a minute of this and I stop watching it...
I made it thru 2 minutes 26 seconds. I had to give it a thumbs down because of the awful and distracting music. You don't any music.
Please get rid of the cheap background music. It makes the whole video very chheap and in professional. If you must, then at least Japanese music.
Are you kidding??? Eradicate the music!
Dear gawd, get rid of this music. Difficult to listen to.
Again with this absolutely terrible music which doesn't even fit with the topic and makes the video harder to watch... :(
If you absolutely insist on music, at least make it quieter for God's sake. Background music should be in the background, it should not clash with your voice or compete with it for attention. That's why it's called background music in the first place. :/
2.5 minutes in the annoying soundtrack sent me clicking...
I would have watched this video to the end and gave it a thumbs up. But the annoying background music that is in no way associated with Zen Japanese Gardens, prevents me to do so. Here is a big thumbs down for being annoying.
your background music is too loud & annoying to keep watching this.
use the music made by Fiechter brothers (Derek and Brandon Fiechter) instead of this shit
Shut up about the music. Would y'all like Frank Sinatra or something? Either take the glorious info of piss off. You apparently don't like Hip Hop. So he has to ditch all music then. It didn't effect anything really. This is a great video. But you need a damn water source for any pond.
