“…For example, while historical Italian and French gardens were designed to allow visitors to see everything from a single point of view, the Picturesque tradition of 17th‐century English gardens showed design elements common to music in their attention to rhythm and tempo. Such gardens created sequential stops along pathways that included ‘moments of approach and moments of contemplation’ (Buck & Molinari, 2022, pp. 3–5).…”

Opened in 1999, the Toronto Music Garden is a unique public park on the waterfront of Toronto. Conceived and designed by renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma and landscape designer Julie Moir Messervy, the garden is inspired by the first of the Six Suites for Unaccompanied Cello composed by J. S. Bach circa 1720 (Siblin, 2009). By addressing the ways in which the Music Garden was conceived, designed, and is experienced, this paper makes a unique contribution to discussions of how the arts can be used to reimagine post-industrial urban spaces.Several lines of inquiry steer this discussion of the Toronto Music Garden. First, this paper seeks to understand the ways in which Julie Moir Messervy and Yo-Yo Ma sought to translate Bach's music into a garden design. Second, the

In landscape appreciation, what tourists directly perceive is the atmosphere of the landscape. This paper introduces the concept of “Ecological Structure” from Gernot Böhme’s theory of atmospheric aesthetics into the assessment of landscapes, utilizing atmosphere as a bridge between horticultural ecology, aesthetics, and culture. It examines the relationship between the objective environment and subjective perception. This study conducted a field survey of Xingqing Palace Park and selected the waterside plant landscape that directly reflects the atmosphere of the royal garden as the research object. In the first stage of this study, Scenic Beauty Estimation was used to evaluate the overall beauty of 32 landscape units; in the second stage, the Delphi method and Analytic Hierarchy Process were used to evaluate the ecological structures that affect the garden landscape atmosphere; in the third stage, the two evaluation results of the Kendall’s W concord coefficient test Analytic Hierarchy Process and Scenic Beauty Estimation have high consistency, which shows that the atmosphere is great value to the beauty of the landscape. This study provides designers with a means to create a garden atmosphere using ecological structures and provides new ideas for landscape design.
