Chinese gardens' mobility door access.








Photograph taken by Matthew Haughey, of a Lion carving in Portland's - " Chinese Garden of Awakening Orchids."



This is a matter " I pray you pay constant attention to."






Much like with Chinesegardenscene.cn

Where, we have endeavoured to provide access to as many people in the global community;

as is possible - through:

  • Normal Access [ the mode You open Chinesegardenscene.cn     in ]
  • Switch to accessible version -

[ Located @ the top & bottom of Your Home-Page screens ]  providing from the base of the left hand Index items, also -

         # SCALE-UP  / Back-Down Options &

         # Change Contrast Option

  • Translator Option [ Located in about the middle of the Home-Page ]








What is he on about, you may ask ?


Fenestration is a Chinese term, used in  Chinese gardens;

to explain products that are designed, to fill openings;

yet permit the passage of air, light and people.


It requires even the most " fanatic," amongst us, about authentic representation -

             to sometimes take a step back

To take a measure, between Accessibility & Practicability and at the same time considering " people's " health and safety....


For, you can take the " manager," out of someone;

yet, you cannot take the " risk."





Doorway, out onto the courtyard of a Chinese garden.Just how good is Your " Open-Door," policy?









New York Scholar's Garden ting, with raised sill in doorway.



Apparently, one of the ways, it was believed to " keep out evil spirits," was to raise the sills in ting doorways.

Without wishing to be disrespectul to people's beliefs - we must also be considerate to people's needs.

In order to do so, we have to be accommodating, when we represent a culture.



Wheelchair Access.




Near the start of this Web site for Chinese Garden Scene;

we have a topic " Gardens for Youth " and it should equally be considered, throughout ( wherever humanly possible ) to be:

" Gardens for Veneration, for Generations, for All Abilities and for All Disabilities."


The Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden in Vancouver, BC, have chosen to solve this paradox for representation;


Doorway sill temporarily removed for health & safety access.

Doorway sill removed, yet available to be replaced.



" Let us keep searching for ways, to accommodate the needs of others."







" May the Chinese garden be demonstrative as a vital living environment and it's art be  constantly, deeply and intimately connected with the daily needs of all human life."
