Study On The Cultural Interpretation And Design Strategies Of Hedge Landscape

Hedge, as a common landscape element in both Chinese garden and western garden, has thefunction of space dividing, landscaping noise reduction and so on. The establishment of themodern Western landscape design on a traditional basis, gets growth, development and maturityin the localization process of modernism, and the form of traditional hedge is heritaged. TheChinese garden design, however, has lost its localization characteristics form in the wave ofglobalization, and the Western hedgerow landscape in China is overwhelming, such as the patternhedge and blocks of color, becoming the most common form in the city. Many meaninglessapplications in urban greening, this phenomenon has been seriously distorted the hedge whichsupposed to have a visual function in urban greening, ecological functions, and cultural functions.Therefore, for the problems of hedge application, this dissertation proposes the applicationsstrategy of embodiment, Ecology, and regionalism, to enhance the Chinese hedge modernizationand to promote Western hedge localization in China, which has a positive effect.Integrated use of comparative analysis, summary and case study, this dissertation, from ahistorical point, elaborates the process and causes of the evolution of the garden hedgerow style.And then, analyse of the function of modern hedgerow from the level of the landscape andecological. From the field investigation, hedge application status and the existing problems areclarified. In the end, with examples presented, the strategies of design and application areproposed. The analysis and research in this dissertation is using the material of the drawings andphotos of fieldwork as the perceptual knowledge.This dissertation is divided into five part：PART1：Introduction, chapter1By analysis of origin of the study, the research background, related concepts andclassification of the hedge, as well as the current problems, this part of the dissertation proposesthe purpose, meaning and content, and develops the research framework.PART2：Culture study, including chapter2and3In this part, the history of Chinese garden hedge is divided into the Qin and Han Dynasty,the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang and Song Dynasties, the Ming and QingDynasties, and last the Modern Period. The history of western garden hedge is divided intoAncient Times, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance period, Baroque period, Landscape garden, theArts and Crafts period, and the Modernist period. By its development history, this part sums upthe characteristics of two gardening hedge landscape; From the philosophicalthe perspective ofculture, society, and landscape design theory, this part anaylizes the reasons for the formation of the hedgerow landscape characteristics based on the influence of the traditional culture. So thatwe can have a better understanding of the strengths, the fine tradition and the problems of bothChinese hedge and western hedge, and according to the local conditions, the application of hedgewill be unique style ourselves.PART3：Function study, including chapter4,5and6In this part, the space, landscape and ecological function of hedge is analized, and draws aconclusion that hedge has the space functions of boundary enclosure, guidance, landscapefunctions of main feature, background, as well as the ecological functions of noise reduction, themicro-climate regulation, and ecological corridor building; In order to apply and use hedge in abetter way, based on in-depth study of space, landscape and ecological functions, the specificdesign study is proposed.PART4：Application study, including chapter7and8Throughout the field investigationthe and application analysis of garden hedge existing inurban green spaces, this part of study gets a conclusion of the characteristics of hedge in differenttypes green space; Summarize three most common kinds of hedgerow application: dividing stripegreening, Green border and the mold pattern hedge, then evaluate its characteristics and existingproblems; Point out that the culture problem of the hedgerow landscape design and application:local characteristics desalination and obvious utilitarian purpose; Propose the applicationsstrategy of embodiment, Ecology, and regionalism.PART5：Conclusion and discussion, chapter9The last part summarizes the study and views of the dissertation, and draws conclusions thatculture determines hedge forms, the modern hedgerow features need to change, the strategy ofmodern hedgerow design and application; In the end, this author Indicates the shortcomings inthe study, and calls for more experts and scholars of landscape architecture pouring moreattention into the study of the hedge landscape.
