Terrain does not only refer to the physical aspects of the land, but also considers that the land is not only a physical existence, but also a spatial existence. Land is not just soil, but everything that is hidden under and in the soil, and the institutions that sustain it. A topographic trace is a historical outline, carried out in some act of creation or inhabitation. Therefore, in addition to topographical material, spatial and practical aspects, the temporal nature is equally important in the attention to a place's space. Over time, landscape materials are updated with, and the metabolism of the site is key to continued relevance.

Terrain: Terrain Art (Cityscape, Nature) - ZiYuan Liu Topographical art is important to landscape, architecture and urban design, showing how alternatives to pictorial or aesthetic approaches can add to the cultural content of buildings, landscapes and cities. Rather than just considering topography and land, topographic art encompasses architecture, urban design, and gardening, with a mission to provide lasting dimension and beautiful expression. Terrain includes both built and unbuilt, as well as traces of typical to extraordinary actual affairs. Historically, topography has given perception, experience and knowledge as both a representation and a way of adapting to mundane and practical purposes.

History: The historical and cultural content of land and built forms - XinYuan Zhang

The human needs also promote the development of landscape. With the progress of the times, technological innovation, and the transformation of people's thoughts and aesthetics, these design elements that constitute the landscape have also been given additional functionality and aesthetics, showing from facilities to terrain space. The characteristics of independent elements are also expanded and reflected in the whole collective landscape space, including natural objects and artificial buildings.

From the historical and cultural point, both complementing each other. The buildings as individuals can reflect their culture and art, while several buildings form a group to the landscape system showing the cultural activities in society and recording the development process, these are reflected between the two aspects of environment and humanities.

Combined with single design elements, the effect of the spatial environment composition is achieved. Architecture and landscape interact to influence development and the two are inextricably linked.

The landscape environment influences the development of humanity. The culture of each region is unique, combined with its specific natural geography and cultural background with the specific architectural forms and styles developed over time in practice, together with the local human atmosphere and customs that make up the unique landscape of a city.

Aesthetic & Functional - JunYi Liu Landscaping that is both aesthetic and functional can create spaces where people can relax, pla sports, and host events. Although landscapes are not buildings in the traditional sense, their relationship is inextricably linked.

Both buildings and landscapes must provide comfort, environmental protection, practical aesthetic. The landscape provides natural vitality to the building, and the building enhances the diversity and functionality of the landscape. The building's purpose is to provide people with both ornamental and functional shelter. At the same time, the landscape provides a relaxed and basic environment in which people can live. They both develop environments in which people can live better lives and form close relationships. In other words, architecture interacts so closely with landscape that landscape shapes the regional and cultural identities that architecture should imitate.

Landscape, as such, can be a performative form of architecture. The first reason is that landscape design expression is required in architectural design to embody the concept of landscape. Including a landscape with regional characteristics in the design process can improve the building's compatibility with the local culture. Another reason is that good landscape design necessitates advanced architectural design in order to better integrate into the surrounding environment and promote building preservation and reuse. In conclusion, while landscapes are not buildings, they all serve the same purpose and exhibit the same artistry.

Human Participation: Questions About Technology and Work Materials – YiTong Li Modern landscaping is ornamental due to its different types of styles. The application of new materials and technologies to modern landscapes places higher demands on landscape construction and later maintenance techniques.

Overview of the application of new materials and technologies in modern landscaping: 1. Principles of application of new materials and technologies in modern landscaping Economic principle, sustainable principle, and localization principle.

2. Prospects for the application of new materials and technologies in modern landscape gardening。New technologies that are in harmony with the natural environment naturally have development prospects.

3. Trends in the use of new materials in modern landscapes The use of new materials that reflect local characteristics is the correct trend of application.

New technology, new materials in the modern landscape specific applications: 1 imitation stone landscape tiles in the modern landscape application Imitation stone landscape tile pursuit of natural and simulation, with a high degree of wear resistance and corrosion resistance Ecological imitation granite is more common in the landscape of the imitation stone tiles, with a strong plasticity 2 earthwork construction technology in the modern landscape construction In modern landscape construction, earthwork construction technology is mainly applied in two aspects: filling of earth and mechanical construction 3 Application of renewable construction materials in landscaping design The principle of applicability, economy and safety is the focus, and the selection of materials according to local conditions is very necessary.
