McGraw-Hill, Inc Exercise 6: Further reading SPECIAL BUILDINGS Special buildings include many that are nearly as complete as the fully enclosed buildings that are the province of the architect: greenhouses, conservatories, orangeries, tool sheds, dovecotes, icehouses, root houses, bathhouses, playhouses, and many more. These are usually auxiliary in relation to the main house or building but relate to them in character and detail. Shelter structures, engineering structures, and special buildings are important in garden and landscape because they introduce precise geometric forms intermediate in scale between main buildings and landscape. If scattered or designed indiscriminately, they can destroy a pleasant landscape; carefully designed, they can be so grouped or arranged as to create rhythmic connections and patterns within the overall architectural-landscape design concept.
