Abstract
In the world quest to enhance man to nature relationship, a recent belief
emerged that all ethical system should develop from preoccupation with
humans and their absolute welfare, to a concern for land, plants, animals,
rocks and nature in general.
Faced with this persisting need, this dissertation asserts that Islam, as a
religion and a way of life, is capable of providing a comprehensive system
with a better attitude towards nature. What makes Islam capable of that is its
goal in transforming value system into action.
Islamic values applicable to landscape architecture represent the theoretical
framework, while the design elements derived from the Islamic gardens
provide the experiential component. The complementary effect of the two
components, propose an alternative Islamic criteria for landscape architecture.
The assertion is that the proposed Islamic criteria can provide firstly: a
nature-aware alternative for landscape architecture in Egypt, secondly: can
generate solutions for some environmental problems.
The criteria of Islamic landscape architecture is being applied to an existing
project. The design of the City Central Park of the new urban corrununity of
New Damietta based on the -‚07-ic landscape criteria demonstrates the
possibility of combining the traditional form of landscape with the modem life
requirements. keywords ( landscape - history - Architecture - Islam - Gardens )
