It is very difficult to define "landscape" alone. It intersects with many disciplines such as planning, landscape architecture, ecology and geography, and has different meanings in different disciplines. The "landscape design" that I came into contact with (also known as landscape architecture) refers to the overall consideration and design of surrounding environmental elements, including natural elements and artificial elements, in the process of architectural design or planning and design, so that buildings (groups) echo the natural environment. Improve its overall artistic value (and make developers earn more money:). This concept pays more attention to the use of people from the perspective of planning and architectural design, that is, the relationship between people as a mixture of nature and society and the surrounding environment. According to Professor Wang's Introduction to Architectural Culture in China, in the process of cultural exchange between China and the West, European missionaries introduced the culture of China to the western world (for example, 1724), missionaries brought back the prints of the Summer Palace to Europe, and later introduced the Summer Palace to Europe. China attached great importance to "natural beauty", "although others made it, it was natural", which deeply influenced western culture, resulting in Rococo style and English Chinese gardens, which gradually developed into landscape gardens and later ecological buildings. Cultural exports turn to domestic sales, and good things are carried forward by foreigners: (I just want to write this topic.

2. What does landscape design include?

Similarly, the content of landscape design varies greatly due to different starting points. Large-scale watershed management and urban master planning are mostly based on geography and ecology; In the design of medium-sized theme parks, street landscape design often starts from the perspective of planning and gardening; Relatively small city squares, residential green spaces and even residential courtyards are all from the perspective of detailed planning and architecture; But there is no doubt that these projects all involve landscape factors. The consideration of landscape factors in the planning and design process that I usually come into contact with is usually divided into hard landscape and soft landscape. As far as I know, hard landscape refers to artificial facilities, which usually include paving, sculpture, trees, seats, lights, garbage bins and so on. Soft landscape refers to artificial vegetation, rivers and other imitation natural landscapes, such as fountains, pools, pressure-resistant turf, trimmed trees and so on. After reading some foreign commercial websites that provide landscape facilities, I was amazed at their classification and meticulous content, which made landscape design have a great development space.

3. What are the design ideas and expressions of landscape design?

Still from the perspective of planning, I think the purpose of landscape design is usually to provide a comfortable environment and enhance the value of the area (business, culture and ecology). Therefore, we should grasp the key factors in the design and put forward the basic ideas. For example, Tianjin Clothing Street, as a declining commercial street, should focus on rebuilding the commercial atmosphere of the street and its surrounding areas in the process of transformation, and supplement the necessary commercial auxiliary facilities according to the scale of a pedestrian commercial street. The contradictions that need to be solved in the design should be the organization of people flow, the arrangement of rest places, the creation of business atmosphere through soft and hard landscapes, and the coordination of details and the whole; By solving these contradictions, the original purpose can be achieved (but unfortunately, the biggest difficulty is not the design itself, but the time and money. The final plan does not clearly reflect the design intention, and the final construction is only to resurface the ground and paint the facade, "the surface looks much better"). As for the expression, the phenomenon of piecing together drawings is very common in China at present, that is, scanning photos are pieced together on the floor plan, which is caused by some "national conditions" and is not a real performance. And I think the real performance is not the exquisite picture, but the full expression of the design intention. As far as my current conditions and technical level are concerned, I think hand-drawing is more conducive to landscape expression than computer expression, whether it is the expression of effect or intention.

4. What criteria are used to evaluate the quality of landscape design?

There are various standards for landscape evaluation. From the perspective of planning and design, evaluating the quality of landscape design is not only whether the environment looks good or not, but more importantly, whether it solves the problems of function and atmosphere, whether it forms a suitable sense of place, whether it is convenient and comfortable to use, and whether it is harmonious with the surrounding environment. Due to operational problems, this scheme is usually far from the final effect. Most of the projects I came into contact with at school were the scheme stage and the performance of drawings.

Environmental art design

Training objectives: This major trains advanced applied talents with modern aesthetic consciousness and proficient in indoor and outdoor environmental art design professional knowledge and decoration construction skills.

Training requirements: this major requires mastering the methods and skills of indoor and outdoor environmental design and putting forward the design scheme of environmental art; Be able to draw renderings and section construction drawings according to the design scheme; Master the technology of computer renderings and be able to make computer renderings correctly; Master decoration materials and technology, and be able to carry out project management and budget estimation; Correctly understand and operate English version of computer software.

The content of environmental art design is very miscellaneous, but it is mainly interior design and landscape design. Many colleges and universities do not have very professional talents, only a few young teachers who have learned a little practical art start classes to recruit students, so the quality level is uneven.

With an art foundation and a brain of science and engineering, going to a school with a solid foundation and studying environmental art will have a good prospect.
