Abstract

We describe procedural methods we have developed to automatically create layouts for non-formal parks and gardens. Given the topography of the parkland, we have created algorithms for automatically creating lakes, bridges and paths. In particular, we have designed a novel efficient bridge-siting algorithm that selects n appropriate sites to build bridges across a park lake, where n is set by the user. As an extension, we have also developed a system to automatically create a layout for a Japanese-style garden within one second.
