A creative vision in integrating different glass techniques with natural wood for public gardens

The world is now witnessing an increasing interest in environmental and sustainable development issues, given the environmental and economic challenges that have cast a shadow on various sectors in this era, especially on the architecture sector, and architecture in general consists of architectural elements in addition to some complementary elements that play an aesthetic and functional role in the architectural space to give a sense comfort and beauty and are interconnected with each other architecturally, It was found that both the material or the material represents the essence of the creative process and the architectural creation, as the designer uses it to implement and embody his ideas, by dealing with its characteristics and specifications to reach its aesthetics that help him in creating new artistic formulations.
Glass is one of the materials that are characterized by the multiplicity of its techniques with various artistic capabilities that motivate the designer to imagine and innovate, as the technology leaves a deep impact on the architectural thought that is affected by the variables around it, whether cultural, religious, and environmental, so the research seeks to employ different glass techniques such as Technique (lead stained glass, mosaic, glass sculpture) to serve the external architecture and its purposes, by merging glass with natural wood in its initial form and adapting the material to serve the creative process and its reflection on contemporary architecture, The problem of the research came: Is it possible to take advantage of different glass techniques in producing architectural or complementary elements with new artistic formulations suitable for public gardens? The research also aims to employ the environmental raw materials represented in natural wood to achieve environmental sustainability in addition to the aesthetic value, through mixing the natural and renewable wood material with the environmentally friendly glass material to achieve better management of natural resources and reduce the amount of harm affecting the environment. The importance of the research also came by presenting contemporary design ideas based on the use of glass and its various techniques as a basic design determinant in its composition, and integrating it with natural wood in a way that suits public gardens, to know how to achieve the concept of sustainability through the optimal use of these materials.
