Abstract
The gardens in Hollin Hills Residential Project (1953-55, Virginia) are notable for their geometrical orders of spaces, designed by Daniel Urban Kiley (1912-2004), one of the most significant figures in the realm of landscape architecture of the twentieth century. By analyzing the 9 garden plans of the project, the followings are found out. (1) A certain correspondence is observed between the elements of both plane subdivision and tree arrangement and their functions. However, most of the functions are assigned to the elements of plane subdivision. Only the function of orchard is given to the gridded trees. (2) Creation of dynamic experiences by moving between the trees has been attempted by either setting functions or arranging trunk pitches and floors. In addition, it has been also attempted to set the positional relationships between circulations and the trees.
