Analysis of Modern Landscape Design Concept

1 Pay attention to the design concept of the website.

It has become the basic principle of modern landscape design to respect the site, adjust measures to local conditions, seek close contact with the site and surrounding environment, and form the overall design concept. The role of landscape architects lies not in deliberate innovation, but in discovery. It is to observe and understand the original characteristics of the place with a professional eye, find its positive aspects and guide them. Among them, the process of discovery and understanding is also a design process. Therefore, the best design seems to have never been designed, but only fully explored and utilized the landscape resources of the site. This requires designers to sum up the biggest characteristics of the venue on the basis of full understanding of the venue, which is the basic starting point of design. As "Potential Brown" said, every venue has great potential, so we should be good at discovering the soul of the venue.

2. Space-oriented design concept

Garden landscape consists of two parts, one is an entity composed of some landscape elements, and the other is a space composed of entities. Entities are more likely to be concerned, while space is often overlooked. Especially in our current design methods, we often only pay attention to hard solid scenes, but relatively ignore soft solid scenes, and pay insufficient attention to the shape and extension of spaces and the relationship between adjacent spaces, thus forming various design methods of stacked scenes. Therefore, it is particularly important to pay attention to the shaping of spatial structure and landscape pattern, emphasize the design concept that space is superior to entity, and carry out the overall design method for visual space field. Laozi said in the eleventh chapter of Tao Te Ching: "Therefore, it is beneficial but not beneficial." In other words, the reason why the entity "you" brings people material utility is because emptiness "nothing" plays an important role in coordination.

3 pay attention to the design concept of timeliness

The biggest difference between landscape design and architectural design is that landscape changes with the change of seasons and time, is alive, and is constantly growing, moving and changing. Therefore, the designer suggested that the mobile garden should be regarded as a natural and lasting work. Therefore, landscape designers must seriously study the timeliness and timeliness factors, pay attention to the effect of landscape changes over time, and shape renewable and stable landscapes. The birth of a landscape work is like the birth of a baby, and its own growth and change process can bring great pleasure and satisfaction to people. Don't expect landscape works to be completed step by step, because it will lose a lot of fun.

4. Pay attention to the reappearance of regional landscape

The so-called "regional" landscape refers to the sum of a region's natural landscape and historical context, including its climatic conditions, topography, hydrogeology, animal and plant resources, historical and cultural resources and people's various activities and behaviors. The landscape or landscape types we see do not exist in isolation, but are all related to the development and evolution of its surrounding areas. Landscape design should aim at the landscape types and humanistic conditions around the site, and build landscape types with local characteristics and space places that meet the needs of local people's activities.

5. Pay attention to the simple design concept

"Less is more", simplicity is not simple, but on the contrary, it is a deep excavation and frank expression of the essence. It is the basic requirement of simple design concept to highly summarize the design method and cherish the expressive means of ink as gold. The simple design concept includes two aspects: first, the simplicity of the design method requires careful research and analysis of the design object, so as to grasp its key factors and reduce excessive entanglement in details, so as to avoid detours and achieve the maximum effect with minimal changes, that is, get twice the result with half the effort; Secondly, the simplicity of expression requires conciseness and generalization, and the most important features of the landscape are expressed with the least elements and scenery; Thirdly, the design goal is simple, which requires fully understanding and adapting to the context, texture and characteristics of the site, and minimizing the human interference to the original landscape, that is, the principle of "minimum intervention". In fact, the concept of simplicity needs targeted design, and the design method behind closed doors is opposed.

6 pay attention to the concept of ecological design

In recent years, with the growing voice of global protection of the ecological environment, under the influence of neighboring Germany, French landscape architects gradually began to pay attention to the application of ecological concepts in landscape design. About ecology, there are several points that need to be further elaborated. First of all, the deterioration of the global ecological environment cannot be solved by landscape architects alone. The ecological concept embodied in landscape works is more to appeal to the government and the public to pay attention to the ecological environment, and more to show a gesture. Secondly, the ecological concept put forward by landscape architects is still different from that put forward by ecologists and environmental protection organizations. Although their concerns overlap and merge to some extent, they are fundamentally different, otherwise the society would not need the landscape architecture industry. Finally, if we completely proceed from the ecological principles, designers often fall into extremes and are difficult to be accepted by society.

French landscape architects don't talk about "ecology" and shout all kinds of "ecology" slogans every day, but try to implement the ecological concept in some specific design methods. The original intention of ecology is to require landscape designers to know more about living things, realize the interdependent lifestyle of all living things, and connect the living environment of all living things. In fact, this requires us to have a holistic consciousness, be cautious about biology and the environment, and oppose isolation and blind remedy. The concept of ecology cannot be simply understood as planting a large number of trees and increasing the amount of green. In addition, ecological principles require us to respect nature, take nature as a teacher and study the evolution law of nature; It is necessary to conform to nature, reduce the blind artificial transformation of the environment and reduce the maintenance and management cost of garden landscape; According to the characteristics of the natural environment in the region, the landscape types to be built should avoid completely destroying the original environment; Respect the needs of other creatures in the site; We should protect and make good use of natural resources and reduce energy consumption. Therefore, wasteland, Yuan Ye, ruins, seepage, regeneration, energy saving, wild plants, waste utilization and so on constitute the key words in the concept of landscape ecological design.

7 Design concept of unity of opposites

Nature and man-made are the unity of opposites throughout the history of landscape development. Whether it is "people-oriented" or "nature-oriented", whether it is transforming nature or conforming to nature, it is not only a standard to measure the form, style and type of a certain landscape, but also a standard for modern landscape design to adapt to local conditions, and it cannot be unilaterally affirmed or denied according to site conditions and use requirements. Generally speaking, in the urban environment, we should pay more attention to the combination of artificial and natural methods, and with the distance from the urban environment, the role of nature is gradually enhanced.

Garden landscape design actually reflects the designer's knowledge and understanding of nature, and expresses it through design means. In all kinds of landscape forms, nature is always the source of design. The landscape architect's knowledge and understanding of nature and how to deal with the relationship between nature and man-made is an important part of his design concept.

8 Pay attention to the scientific design concept

Landscape design is a broad and complex frontier discipline, which is influenced by biology, ecology, soil science, botany, aesthetics and other disciplines. Therefore, landscape architects should adopt a scientific and rigorous academic attitude, fully study and understand the characteristics of various disciplines, use modern scientific and technological means, and emphasize scientific design methods.

However, landscape design is a holistic and comprehensive skill, and no single discipline can replace landscape design. Therefore, as far as a project is concerned, we can focus on the characteristics of a certain subject, but on the whole, it is not advisable to pursue a certain characteristic unilaterally. In a complex and changeable society, a single landscape design trend is unsustainable. At present, the emphasis on green corridors and wetlands, regardless of the site and environment, is actually a misunderstanding of ecology, destroying the ecological environment, and also causing the singularity and convergence of landscape, which will eventually be abandoned like international architecture.

9 Pay attention to the design concept of individuality

In the society where personality development and personal value are increasingly emphasized, personality experience, personal understanding and personal emotional input play an increasingly important role in landscape design, which also ensures the diversity and richness of landscape design. Personality-oriented design concept does not encourage individuals to be conceited or divorced from reality behind closed doors, but emphasizes their unique understanding of nature, society, ecology, art and history, their unique experience in travel, their personalized design expression methods and their unique understanding of the connotation and essence of garden landscape. Enlightenment to the Development of Modern Garden Landscape in China

In the past 10 years, the landscape architecture in China has developed by leaps and bounds. However, in the face of the increasingly open China market and fierce competition from all walks of life, especially overseas designers, how can landscape designers in China raise the industry threshold and establish their position in the industry development? How to resist the all-round invasion and occupation of foreign cultures and remain invincible in the global competition? How to learn from the advanced western ideas and design methods, deepen the research and understanding of the cultural connotation of local landscape architecture, create modern landscape architecture with its own regional cultural characteristics in line with the trend of globalization, and avoid being completely lost in the wave of globalization and being eliminated by world culture is a major issue that every landscape architect in China must seriously face.

A large number of landscape construction projects and poor design and construction standards have caused the contradiction that the whole modern landscape industry in China is booming, but the design works are shoddy. In the long run, it will seriously hinder the healthy development of the garden industry. Studying and studying the successful experience and advanced design concept of western modern landscape is undoubtedly of great reference significance to promoting the development of modern landscape in China. However, whether learning from western experience or inheriting China tradition, we should treat learning with a scientific, rigorous and comprehensive attitude, pay attention to the study of its connotation and essence, and oppose all forms taken out of context and used only for our own purposes. Therefore, the development course and design concept of modern French garden landscape have great enlightenment to us.

1 standardize industry management and improve the competition mechanism.

Only in a standardized, orderly, open, transparent and fair competitive environment can there be good practitioners and good works. In the eyes of serious foreign designers, China has not yet formed the atmosphere of "works" and "fine products"; In the eyes of domestic designers, the lack of fair competition mechanism and chaotic market are not conducive to outstanding talents to stand out. Therefore, taking the road of standardization and marketization and perfecting the competition mechanism are the basic guarantee for the healthy development of modern garden industry in China.

2 in-depth theoretical research, against formalism

We should strengthen the research on the historical and cultural connotations of eastern and western landscapes, especially the research on theories and concepts, strive to grasp the essential contents of landscapes and oppose all kinds of simple plagiarism and formalism. While Chinese people are still superficially studying Laozi's theory, foreign counterparts regard it as the originator of studying space theory and dig deep into the essence and essence of his theory. Our garden design should not mention the local culture of China, that is, antique architecture, geomantic graphics, golden wood fire, water, earth, yin and yang gossip and so on; Speaking of western culture, it is the plane composition of European architecture and machinery, that is, various patterns and color blocks, that is, various "styles" and "customs" and so on. We should advocate a down-to-earth research style and oppose commercial speculation, who doesn't quite understand.

3 learn western methods and study local problems.

To study and study modern western garden landscape, we should first understand the development process of western garden landscape, especially its historical background, cultural connotation, application scope and place. You can't blindly copy and superficially bring various style features into your garden. We should learn from the advanced western design concepts and methods, so as to study the problems in China. We should pay attention to the study and research of ideas and oppose superficial imitation and plagiarism.

4 advocate taking precautions and put an end to quick success and instant benefit.

Although our landscape market seems to be thriving at present, we should ask ourselves, after nearly 10 years of development, what has our landscape industry left for us and future generations? Now it seems that what remains is more regret, which is the garden garbage that people despise after several years, and it is a waste and destruction of garden landscape resources and culture. So eager for quick success and instant benefit, patchwork together, China's garden industry is bound to decline, and even be spurned by all mankind.

The ultimate goal of large-scale comparison and research is to get some enlightenment from it, and to produce some good landscape works of China through practical work. What exactly is a good landscape work? A good work can't be imagined out of thin air, but should be "grown" from the venue. Just like "one side of water and soil supports one side of people", one side of water and soil shows one side of mountains and rivers. Many people of insight and serious overseas designers are emphasizing the localization research of modern garden landscape in China, and are exploring the way to build a garden landscape with "regional" cultural characteristics. Nowadays, people are more and more aware that the role of a landscape architect is like that of a gardener. They should fully understand this hot land under their feet, carefully select seeds suitable for this "water and soil", carefully cultivate and care for them, and make them grow healthily.
