What are small architectural forms?
This is the name of the design for decorating the territory of a garden plot or cottage. In addition to the decorative function, they also have practical significance. Such objects help to conveniently organize the planting of plants on plots of different sizes, to equip a relaxation zone. They are not fundamental structures. Many types can be made with your own hands from wood, metal or using old objects for this.
Small architectural forms are used for several purposes: decorative (decoration of the territory) — openwork gazebos, alpine slides, statues, light bridges, sculptures, fountains; functional (have a practical purpose) — flowerpots, flower beds, pergolas, vertical flower beds and other structures for plants, stairs, garden furniture, swimming pools, gazebos, fences of various types; entertainment — architectural forms of sports, gaming purposes, for example, sandboxes, slides, swings, horizontal bars and others
Many types of small architectural forms are universal. They simultaneously transform the site and have practical value. These include gazebos, lanterns, swimming pools, garden benches, flowerpots. Decorative elements of landscape design differ in purpose, appearance and material from which they are made.
