Student project
Abstract

Saint Mary est un quartier démuni de Lahore, au Pakistan. Saint Mary a 4750 hab. pour un terrain de 23'340 m2, chaque personne ayant 4 m2 à sa disposition. Ce terrain est utilisé à des fins commerciales et privées. Chaque maison est une succession de pièces polyvalentes dans lesquelles se mélangent espace commercial, toilettes, bains, lessive et chambres à coucher. Le but du projet est d'améliorer la qualité de vie des habitants du quartier, pour lesquels la pénurie d'eau est un problème majeur. “Pani” s'implante sur toute la longueur Est/Ouest au Nord de Saint Mary, elle est une infrastructure pour acheminer et fournir l'eau aux résidents. Elle propose aussi différents services tels que des toilettes publiques, des bains publics, des lavoirs, ainsi que des potagers approvisionnés en eau. Des espaces de loisirs complètent l'ensemble. Elle permet que certaines tâches nécessitant de l'eau telles que la toilette et la lessive soient transférées de la maison à cet espace public, afin de soulager la maison familiale d'une partie de ses fonctions.

Garden design
Garden design is the art and process of designing and creating plans for layout and planting of gardens and landscapes. Garden design may be done by the garden owner themselves, or by professionals of varying levels of experience and expertise. Most professional garden designers have some training in horticulture and the principles of design. Some are also landscape architects, a more formal level of training that usually requires an advanced degree and often a state license.
History of gardening
The early history of gardening is largely entangled with the history of agriculture, with gardens that were mainly ornamental generally the preserve of the elite until quite recent times. Smaller gardens generally had being a kitchen garden as their first priority, as is still often the case. The broad traditions that have dominated gardening since ancient times include those of the Ancient Near East, which became the Islamic garden, the Mediterranean, which produced the Roman garden, hugely influencing later European gardening, and the Chinese garden and its development in the Japanese garden.
