Description
Classical Chinese gardens, particularly those on which the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Garden is modeled, were popular during the Ming Dynasty, which occurred from 1368-1644. At that time, it was commonplace for a Ming scholar to have a private garden where he could live and work. The garden followed a certain design and offered energy to the scholar as well as tranquility.
The architecture found in any classical Chinese garden is designed to blend with the natural elements, not stand out on its own. In this Vancouver garden, one of the pavilions appears to be floating on water while another imitates the sweeping lines of the garden's trees. Larger pavilions provide space for gathering, including classes and lectures.
