The Times Background of Open University
Rejuvenating the country through science and education is a basic national policy of China. With the advent of the global information age and the accelerated development of China's economy, it has provided unprecedented opportunities for the development of higher education, and at the same time pushed the campus construction of colleges and universities to a new climax. The great development of society, culture and economy in the era of knowledge economy will comprehensively affect all aspects of campus planning. Faced with this once-in-a-lifetime historical opportunity and challenge, landscape designers, planners and architects in China need to scientifically adjust the mode and method of campus planning and design, and deeply study the theory of campus planning and design. The most basic challenge for China's higher education reform in the new century is how to make colleges and universities adapt to a more open society. As the material support of higher education, the construction of campus environment is particularly important, and the cultivation of students' all-round quality is also directly related to the planning of campus environment. Therefore, studying the internal relationship between campus landscape planning in colleges and universities and the development of open society and higher education model, and exploring campus landscape planning strategies under the premise of close contact between colleges and society can provide reference for the current campus landscape planning and construction.

A brief history of campus construction in Chinese and foreign universities Looking at the development history of Chinese and foreign universities, we can find that campus planning is closely related to the development of society, science and technology, and the development process of campus is a process of constantly adapting to the development of society, science and technology and higher education concepts. The university campus in western history has experienced a development process from small to large, from simple to complex, from traditional quadrangle monastery closed schoolhouse to modern open campus; The development models include the closed campus represented by Oxford and Cambridge in the Middle Ages in Europe, the open and decentralized campus represented by Berkeley University in North America18th century to19th century, and the open campus represented by Harvard University in modern times.

The ancient universities in China mainly existed in the form of imperial academy and Academy, and the campus layout adopted the traditional closed quadrangle space structure in China, such as Yuelu Academy and Jiangning Confucius House. This is consistent with the requirements of feudal society and Confucianism and Taoism. Since the founding of New China, China's campus construction has experienced three climaxes: the first time was the adjustment of colleges and departments in the national universities in the 1950s, which was influenced by the former Soviet model and adopted the conventional model; The second time was the revival of education in the 1980s, and the focus of campus planning was to transform and renovate the old campus that was severely damaged after the turmoil of 10 [2]; The third time is the open campus construction caused by the great development of education.
