The research puts rules that help landscape designers in realizing visual Integration between architecture and plant design of the surrounding landscape according to the desire of the designer to realize the following aims : First: employing plant to enhance the concept of the design. Second: employing plant to direct the attention towards and away from architecture for the purposes of visual isolation.Third: employing plant to change the perception of architecture by creating visual illusions to change the dimensions of architecture or its visual weight .or changing the comprehension of depth

- Project structure :
1. A general study of literature which handled the visual integration in general and between architecture and plant in particular in the international and local experiments..
2. A general study of literature which handled the mental and physiological process of visualization and the psychological effects including illusions and contradictions in the scenes.
3. finding out the visual relations between forms and their components, generally those effecting on realizing balances and contradictions between a form and its surrounding as well as including formal effects in amending or realizing the requirements of the designer to be adopted as abase or basic lures to be applied in the integration between architecture and plant.
4. finding out formal components of architecture as distinguished effective and visually dominant parts.
5. finding out formal components of plant as distinguished effective and visually dominant parts.
6. Employing the general rules extracted from the visual relations between forms and their surroundings in finding out the visual integration indexes between architecture and plant.
7. Applying these indexes on hypothetical scenes and forms of visual integration between architecture and plant and then making a computational representation to inform the researcher of the results and the extend of congruence between theoretical output and forms visually designed and seen. 8. Conducting a questionnaire on selected samples of these forms that represent specific and critical situations .finding out rules that help landscape designers in realizing visual integration between architecture and plant in the required scene
