Why is the existence of gardens important?
Since ancient times, garden art has traveled through the long corridor of time, continuing from the past to the present day, always occupying a place in the market and never fading away like some industries. How can gardens have such an important and enduring position? What is the function and significance behind it?
Today, let's delve into the world of gardens together
To understand why our need for gardens is so profound
And its irreplaceable value in modern society
01 {Beautify the environment, create atmosphere}
Landscape is the process of combining landscape, plants, and architecture into an organic whole, creating a rich and colorful garden landscape, and giving people a pleasing aesthetic feeling. It is an artistic creation activity.
Modern cities are in a rapid development stage, and environmental problems are also emerging one after another, such as automobile exhaust emissions, large amounts of dust residue, and factory emissions ... constantly oppressing our living environment.
As a harmonious coexistence of nature and culture, gardens not only beautify the human living environment, but also serve as a pure land for the soul. It cleverly integrates elements such as mountains, waters, plants, and architecture with its unique landscaping techniques, creating spaces that are both aesthetically pleasing and culturally rich. In the fast-paced modern life, gardens provide people with a place to relax and get close to nature, which helps to relieve stress and promote physical and mental health.
02 {Product of Social Construction}
Gardens are a form of social material wealth. Gardens, like architecture, are products of social construction in different regions and historical periods from ancient times to the present. The design concepts and techniques of gardens have continuously evolved, incorporating the cultural essence and artistic pursuits of various periods, and reflecting the local social productivity at that time. Classical gardens are precious material wealth and heritage of humanity. The rise and fall of gardens are closely related to social development.
By visiting gardens, we can feel the weight of history and the charm of culture, enhancing cultural confidence and national identity. Gardens also provide unlimited creative inspiration for contemporary designers, promoting the continuous innovation and development of garden art.
Gardens are a social and spiritual wealth. The construction of gardens reflects people's pursuit of beauty. Landscape design incorporates the author's cultural literacy, attitude towards life, emotions, and personality. Garden works reflect the spirit and thoughts of gardeners. Its style is inevitably closely related to cultural traditions, historical conditions, and geographical environment, and also carries certain class symbols, thus forming schools and systems of different forms and artistic styles in the world.
Gardens also carry the important mission of ecological protection. Through scientific plant configuration and water system design, gardens can effectively improve urban microclimate, purify air, increase biodiversity, and inject vitality into urban ecosystems. In today's accelerated urbanization process, the existence of gardens has immeasurable value in maintaining ecological balance and improving urban quality.
03 {Maintain ecological balance, regulate microclimate}
The acceleration of urbanization, the release of carbon dioxide from densely populated areas, the heat emitted by factories and vehicles, as well as the characteristics of urban building structures and underlying surfaces (i.e. asphalt and cement pavements) (which have larger corresponding specific heat capacities and can absorb more heat than suburban soil and vegetation), have led to a generally higher temperature in urban areas than in surrounding suburbs. High temperature urban areas are surrounded by low-temperature suburbs, which is equivalent to the emergence of a microclimate different from this climate zone in a complete climate zone.
Plants in landscaping have the functions of absorbing heat, shading, and increasing air humidity. Transpiration of plant leaves can lower temperature, regulate air humidity, and absorb solar radiation. Through scientific plant configuration and water system design, improve urban microclimate, purify air, increase biodiversity, and inject vitality into urban ecosystems.
Overall
Landscape architecture plays a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance and enhancing urban quality
Has immeasurable value
Believe in the days to come
Gardens continue to exert their unique charm and functions
Contribute to a better life for human society
