Design concept of modern French garden landscape
In a multicultural country, a society full of variables, and an era of pursuing individuality, as far as the whole industry is concerned, any single design concept or design method that unilaterally emphasizes one aspect will eventually be abandoned by society. But personally, in the face of fierce competition, every designer has to pursue personalized and professional working methods. Therefore, as far as the design concept and method of modern garden landscape are concerned, we can only talk about people and things, and we must never summarize the overall design concept of modern garden landscape with a few slogans. Different people may have different understandings of the same idea. Even the same person may put forward different design concepts in the face of different venues or projects. In addition, with the increasingly complex composition of modern landscape practitioners, various design concepts emerge one after another. We should pay more attention to the theory and practice of mainstream designers, instead of unilaterally following the design theory of "pioneer" and "avant-garde" or only paying attention to those works with strong visual impact.
Generally speaking, the design concept of modern French garden landscape is mainly manifested in the following aspects:
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 a whole design concept. The role of landscape architects lies not in deliberate innovation, but in discovery. It is to observe and understand the original features of the site 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 fully understanding the venue, which is the basic starting point of design. Just like "Potential Brown" said, every venue has great potential, so we should be good at discovering the soul of the venue.
2, pay attention to the design concept of space
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 easily concerned, while space is often easily ignored. Especially in our current design methods, we often only pay attention to hard three-dimensional scenery, but relatively ignore soft three-dimensional scenery, and pay insufficient attention to the shape and extension of space and the relationship between adjacent spaces, thus forming various design methods of piled scenery. Therefore, it is particularly important to attach importance to the shaping of spatial structure and landscape pattern, emphasize the design concept that space is superior to entity, and design the visual space field as a whole. In the eleventh chapter of Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu said, "... so it is beneficial, but useless. In other words, the reason why the entity "you" brings material utility to people is because the empty "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 seasons and time, is alive, and is constantly growing, moving and changing. Therefore, the designer suggested that moving the 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 the landscape works to be completed one step at a time, 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 activities and behaviors. The scenery 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 create 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" is simple and not simple. 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 simple design method requires careful research and analysis of the design object, so as to grasp its key factors and reduce excessive entanglement in details, thus avoiding detours and achieving twice the result with half the effort, that is, twice the result with half the effort; Second, 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 human interference to the original landscape, that is, the principle of "minimum intervention". In fact, the concept of simplicity requires targeted design and opposes the design method behind closed doors.
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 a certain extent, they are essentially different, otherwise the society would not need the landscape architecture industry. Finally, if we completely proceed from the ecological principles, designers will often fall into extremes and find it 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 architects to know more about living things, realize the interdependent way of life of all living things, and connect the living environment of all living things with each other. In fact, this requires us to have a holistic consciousness, treat biology and the environment carefully, and oppose isolated and blind rectification. 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 this area, landscape types should be built to avoid complete destruction of 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, which runs through the whole 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 criterion 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.
Landscape design actually reflects the designer's knowledge and understanding of nature, which is expressed by 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 scientific design concept
Landscape design is an interdisciplinary subject with a wide range and complex contents, which intersects and influences with 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 an overall and comprehensive skill, and no single subject can replace landscape design. So 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. Now emphasizing green corridors and wetlands, regardless of the site and environment, is actually a misunderstanding of ecology, destroying the ecological environment, and also causing the oneness and convergence of landscape, which will eventually be abandoned like international architecture.
9, pay attention to the design concept of personality
In a society that emphasizes personality development and personal value more and more, 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. The design concept of paying attention to individuality 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 of travel, their personalized design expression 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 architects 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 tide 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 level have caused the contradiction that the whole modern landscape industry in China is thriving, 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 will undoubtedly have great reference significance for 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 of out-of-context and egoism. Therefore, the development course and design concept of modern French garden landscape have great enlightenment to us.
1. Standardize industry management and improve competition mechanism.
Only in an orderly, open, transparent and fair competition environment can there be good practitioners and good works. In the eyes of serious designers abroad, 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 landscape industry in China.
2, in-depth theoretical research, against formalism.
It is necessary to 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 buildings, geomantic figures, 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 must first understand the development process of western garden landscape, especially its historical background, cultural connotation, applicable 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 attach importance to the study and research of ideas and oppose superficial imitation and plagiarism.
4, advocate a rainy day, put an end to quick success.
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 it is more regret to stay, which is the garden landscape 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, patchwork, China's garden industry will 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 produce some good landscape works in 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 the soil and water supports one side of the people", one side of the soil and water, one side of the scenery. 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 create 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 them, and let them grow healthily.
