The Getty Center has an amazing garden, my last visit just
was not enough I had to go back to walk through the garden area. It starts up
by the main entrance of the museum then goes all the way down in a zig zag
formation, ending at a large circular fountain area with a design in the center
that is made of rose bushes. This layout has a vanishing point, the circular fountain;
the admirer is looking to get to the end to see the beautiful open garden area
after walking through the zig zag walkway crossing bridges that are over a
water stream, and the many succulents that surround it.
It is amazing that the use of so many different forms of
life can form such a beautiful thing to look at. Flowers and plants are
manipulated, rooted and planted in a new place, to create an area where people
can sit, walk through and admire. The architecture of the whole central garden
area made it very appealing as well. Each plant and bend in the walkway is
carefully planned so that wherever a person is standing they have an amazing
view. So in a way there were many vanishing points created so no matter where
someone stands they can admire the central garden.
