**Aesthetic:** Responsive to the beautiful. Appreciative of what is pleasurable to the senses. It is the study of sensory-emotional values, sometimes called judgments of sentiments and tastes. It is also defined as a critical reflection on art, culture and nature that studies new ways of seeing and of perceiving the world. Example: If a building is structurally harmonized and reflects art without using many elements is qualified as a high aesthetic place.

  Example: Daily, landscape architects work very hard to improve and restore urban designs, parks and green infrastructure to make them more attractive, comfortable and motivate us for nature conservation.
