The Difference is in the Detail, by Vitello, Willcocks

• “The form of these details (sounds, smells, textures etc) provides a clue as to how our environment establish relationships with us, as ‘users’ of those spaces, and thus affect our perceptions.” – Vitello, Willcocks

During the article, I think detail design in public community center is important. Detail texture of steam, shadow of leaves, silhouette of mountains will let people feel immersive, they will stay in the valley cover of big forest, hear river sounds surrounding, smell the field flow and grass smells.

Detailed design emphasizing the coexistence of sophistication and function. Excellent landscape design should emphasize functionality and usability, and detail design can often bring this kind of feeling and experience. Indeed, the ultimate purpose of landscape design is to use, and the detail design can often better meet the needs of people’s use, play its functions more fully, and reflect the beauty of elegance and delicacy, highlighting human nature, and harmonizing details.
