Windows to a Different World: Architectural Framing

#hellohalloween
Beyond the natural elements, the garden is a living gallery of architectural art. The buildings are not merely shelters but sophisticated viewing platforms. The design employs "borrowed scenery" techniques, utilizing intricate lattice windows and "moon gates" to frame specific elements—a tree, a patch of rockery, or a distant pavilion. A prime example is the 36 Pairs of Mandarin Duck Hall in the Western Garden, which features beautifully colored diamond-glass windows. These windows cast colored light beams inside while offering unique, tinted perspectives of the greenery and water outside, effectively turning the outdoor scenery into a dynamic piece of art.
