An Study On Regional Landscape Design Theory

On the general trend of globalization and integration,the advocate for regional concept is founded on panic at the lack of cultural connotation in landscape,on the trend of the same features of different cities and on the designers' self-examination for self-expression.The vitality of landscape determines that the regional properties are more important to landscape design than architectural design and urban planning.The landscape features are indivisible with region.The paper analyses on the meaning of region,regional properties and landscape,and sums up the concept and connotations of regional landscape.The paper uses progressive way on level and sums up regional meaning,zoning,characterization and properties,composition,classification of regional landscape.The paper expounds the meaning of the regional landscape from the breadth and depth,and raises understanding of the regional landscape on two levels-territory and site.On the basis,the paper sums up reasons,scope,content,features,concepts and other aspects in theory of regional landscape design.The study is closely on the characteristics of territory landscape and site characteristics.First of all, regional landscape design grasps the overall territory landscape characteristics,including natural elements,humanism elements and the relationships between them.Among them,territory landscape characteristics and mechanism of territory landscape is the two important aspects of cognition for territory landscape.Secondly,the regional landscape design refines in-depth characterization of natural elements and humanism elements on site,and grasps the direction of transformation on site.Finally, through the transformation of material elements and the transmission of non-material elements,regional landscape design achieves improvement of territory landscape,and becomes site to a harmonious part of territory landscape.The study on methods of regional landscape design discusses five important aspects.First of all, regional landscape design begins with characteristics and mechanism of territory landscape.Secondly, the design extracts and organizes territory landscape elements to build landscape space for using. Thirdly,the design organizes landscape elements and landscape space to make landscape morphology into the territory landscape.Finally,the design completes the further transformation on site in accordance with the instructions of landscape elements.Regional landscape design is a way to reflect natural cultural,to use natural law and to recognize reasonable transformation for nature.The paper explores practical significance on theory of landscape design through two related practices.At the same time,the paper expounds that regional landscape design is a process with depth and breadth,the design goes beyond the physical boundaries and stimulates surrounding,renovates territory,improves environment.Regional landscape design is an important way of showing regional characteristics,mining regional context,using rationally elements of regional characteristics.
