Encourages gentle wandering, dynamic sightlines, and visual draws toward planting, light, and water-circulation is immersive, not rapid or strictly linear. Use a natural human eye height or slightly elevated view; frame the space to reveal layered greenery in foreground/midground/background, soft light, organic forms, and the transition between built and planted elements.
