Unity

Though diverse structures, plants and features are used to create a landscape, there should be a unity among each component and all the components with main building. Instead of the individual beauty of a component, the overall beauty should be focused to achieve unity in diversity. Further, a designer should work towards integrating the aesthetic principles of balance, rhythm, proportion and harmony to give unity to the composition.
If one’s mind is conditioned to freely unite or mingle with other persons, he will be accustomed to interact without reaction. Such interaction without reaction is the quality imposed by the ‘unity’ concept of a garden.
