Research Of Cultural Connotation Construction For Landscape Design

Since the beginning of the 20 th century, the landscape design was officially established as a systematic discipline in western countries. And as a matured and key research field, it could collaborate with the architectural design and urban planning to commit to modern city construction. More attention has been increasingly paid to the landscape design in China. The men of literature and writing created a quiet and peaceful place in Chinese traditional garden away from the noisy and prosperous city and the open modern garden, which displays the secular life, have a great potential in creating happy life, which makes the people in China increasingly aware of the unique value of the landscape. However, the landscape design in our country started late and is still in exploring and learning period while the western countries has developed matured ecological and art quality. And the landscape design works therefore often focus on the surface imitation of the form itself, ignoring the exploration of the cultural features. The results are the resemblance of landscape creation and the loss of city’s characters.The culture of landscape design is significantly crucial to touch the deep cultural context contained through the form presentation, which originates from the human nature and truly have a dialogue with human heart to generate the resonance. The culture of landscape design is interpreted based on this main line to reveal the important role of culture in landscape design, followed by the analysis of multi dimensional cultural levels embodied in the development history of landscape design. The semiotic theory is then introduced to analyze the mechanism to express the culture of landscape design with the purpose to eventually put forward the overall principles and optimized strategies of the cultural construction for landscape design.The definition of landscape design culture firstly introduces the concept of landscape, landscape design and culture. The landscape design is then elaborated, which is an important social practice in the human development history, to establish the media of mutual communication between people and culture, reflect the nature of human work, demonstrate the cultural innovation and heritage in the history revolution time-dimensionally and integrate the experience into itself spatial- dimensionally, expressing the emotion and underlying structural logic in a unique form. The next part is to further explore out the nature of landscape design culture-a symbiotic media, which emphasizes cultural meaning, its expression and implication performance. The culture of landscape design is finally expanded into specific cultural aspects theoretically: art, society, ecology and philosophy. The aim is to establish an implicit structure under various forms of representation to further open the semantic platform for the mutual dialogue between the landscape design and culture.The dimension of landscape design culture introduces the cultural performance of landscape design in artistic expression, social mechanism, ecological orientation and philosophical interpretation in a detailed manner. The art, filled with imagination, guides the direction of the soul with its infectious nature of performance, which helps the landscape to finish the transition from the initial function to the aesthetic, the transition of rational exploration by learning the beauty of the building and open up the modern road of landscape in history. The social mechanism, as a dynamic context, serves as a giant background. The landscape is covered as a constituent element of the whole society rather than the sculpture expressing the individuality, which can adjust itself with the overall changes. Under the context of global eco-crisis, ecology is also a way and mean, except for the recognition. It can cater to the natural instinct of the landscape to bring the future and hope for humankind. The philosophy, however, is the most systematic interpretation to the human ideology, which contributes to understand the inner structure of multi cultural aspects thoroughly and offers a deeper and profound cultural platform for the development of landscape design.The expression of landscape design culture constitutes the cultural expression mechanism of landscape design. The elements of landscape design are divided into spatial form, color and material, human activity and cultural symbols. The semantic and context of the elements are then introduced, which is the characteristics. The carried semantics is the premise to express the culture and the context is the basis for the understanding of the audience as well as the influence and limiting factors to the cultural expression of landscape design. The next is to discuss the organized pattern and semantic expression modes of the landscape design elements. The syntactic construction, semantic conversion, composing process and routes and transmission pattern of the semantics are narrated in a detailed way to thus generate the expressive and cultural works of landscape design, which can communicate with the culture. The inherent character of landscape culture expression is ultimately explored to conclude the polysemy, migration, timeliness and spatiality.The construction of landscape design culture introduces the structural traction, specific techniques and the integration and optimization models. The initiative structure traction determines the leading cultural theme, which requires the clear context narrative, reasonable spatial logic and order to guide the construction of complicated landscape scene. The specific construction techniques include the rules generation from the surface with the exaggeration and concentration, implication expansion with the abstract and metaphor, semantic interpretation with the reappearance and re-interpretation, secluded and visionary integration of emotion and context and the context relevance with the reference and agreement. The finally is to discuss the integrity and structure of landscape design cultural construction to start from the integration of spatial structure, landscape elements, overall coordination and optimization under the theme. The cultural integration and optimized strategies in the landscape design are constructed from the surface to the deep.The innovation of this paper is to reveal and introduce the emphasis of the activity and process in the original meaning of culture and construct the framework to study the landscape design culture. The cultural dimension of landscape design is systematically analyzed to explore the constitutive role of the cultural elements in the landscape design with the practical examples. The semiotics is introduced to study the expression mechanism of landscape design culture. The landscape design is finally put forward as a process of cultural construction essentially and its construction and design integration techniques are followed by. The research indicates that the active landscape images and design of environmental quality originates from the exploration and embodiments of the inherent culture contained in the site and design itself, which is recommended as the inspiration and reference for the theory and practice development of landscape design in the future.
