The senior students of Xueba, who are highly standardized in landscape design, adhere to the original intention of "people-oriented" design and are interested in the reconstruction of their own small courtyard in high school, hoping to constantly break through their own shortcomings. Landscape design is not only to create beauty, but also to be practical and humanistic. After five years of study in Beijing University of Architecture and Architecture, I gradually have my own understanding of the profession. What kind of projects have been recognized by famous British schools? Let's follow Bi to explore!

Preliminary analysis case of landscape design


   "My professional interest comes from my small yard in high school."


I'm not an art student. I'm a science student.


Maybe different from many design majors, I am not an art student. Since childhood, I have loved music and art very much. I usually play the violin, play saxophone, and sing songs after studying. The first time I came into contact with landscape design was when my small yard needed to be renovated in high school, I had some ideas about the transformation scheme at that time, but it was not realized because it was immature. But this experience made me very interested in landscape design.


So when I chose a university major, I chose landscape design in the direction of architecture. The courses of the first two years after entering the university are all oriented towards architecture, until the third year of college when I formally learned landscape design related knowledge Through continuous practice and absorption, I began to have my own understanding of this major.

My parents hoped that I could define my future development direction very early, Different from the routinization of domestic education, I prefer the creativity advocated by overseas universities and the creation mode of "posing problems solving problems", After many considerations, it was decided to apply for a graduate student of landscape design in the UK. So when I was a sophomore, I came to the natural light to carry out systematic professional study and production of works collection to prepare for the application.


After learning the creative style of overseas universities, my works have also been integrated into the landscape sketch project, Through the transformation of the campus landscape to show more creative, humanistic professional design.


Landscape design case analysis


   "One of my projects took a year to complete."


Because it was early to study in Natural Light Art, and there was plenty of time for preparation, it was a bit late at the beginning. Because I apply for this major, I don't have to worry about the basic part. The professional tutor of natural light in the early stage helped me sort out the creative ideas of landscape design, and transmitted overseas design ideas and college application requirements different from domestic professional teaching. This has played a correct role in guiding my future creative direction,


In the process of making a portfolio project, I also encountered some small problems. such as When I was creating the "Another home" nursing home project, it took me nearly a year to finish it. On the one hand, because the school's curriculum was heavy and the task was heavy, I was afraid that the GPA score was not high because of the delayed curriculum. Another reason was that the project was completed with the cooperation of students from other majors when they had a sudden idea, but they finally gave up because they were short of time. The other reason is that this project has a large content and a long modification cycle, so it has been modified and deleted in the later period, which has delayed some time.


 Landscape design case analysis

 Investigation and analysis of landscape design cases

But finally, I was satisfied with the completion of this project. This project is called "Another home", It is mainly aimed at the global problem of "population aging". In the early stage, I analyzed and investigated the global population change trend, the proportion of the elderly and the growth trend of the world population. On the premise of full understanding, Created a nursing home system model that has no geographical restrictions and can be widely used in chain.


   This model can be adapted to any city in the world At last, I choose Beijing 798, which is an old industrial style area Realized cultural and crowd needs, It shows that this mode can be realized.


Case analysis of excellent landscape design


   "Keep the theme unified and project integrity, conduct multi-party research, and put people first."


   I have always emphasized the design concept of "people first", Because I think that many landscape designs in today's society are creating beauty, but they are not friendly to people. For example, the fitness facilities and children's entertainment facilities in the street, in fact, many projects have certain risks. So I hope My design can serve people, both beautiful and practical.


My portfolio project is launched around this theme as a whole. The four projects are coherent, thematic and serve the theme together.


   1、 "The next granary"


This project is a large planned project, which is different from the traditional implementation of other projects. I want to design a More unconstrained, reflecting my parametric design ability.


I set this project in the region along the river in Rwanda, A large flood storage pond was designed around the local poverty and food problems. Because this area is affected by drought and flood all the year round, it is difficult to harvest crops. So I hope that through this flood storage pool, we can reserve a large amount of water from floods in rainy season, and then irrigate crops and breed fishery in drought.


   2、 "Edge of modernization"


   This project focuses on the life of children and the elderly, and I am located in the Financial Street area. This place is called the "Modern Border" because it faces the street and divides the bustling financial buildings and the hutong culture of the market.


This area is crowded, but there is no public leisure space for children and the elderly. So I Designed a leisure space for people of different ages, arranged and distributed fitness equipment and other facilities reasonably, It is more suitable for people's needs while considering beauty.


Summary of excellent landscape design


   Landscape design is not only beautiful, but also multi-directional development while adhering to the original intention


I think landscape design is not only an art category, but also a sense of social responsibility. We should consider the purpose of design in many ways, It is not only to make the planned area meet the needs of modernization through transformation, but also to meet the practical needs of the population.


My parents hope to continue to study for a doctoral degree after graduation, but I plan to study another major after graduation, so I can consider architecture. Urban design It not only has the ability of landscape design, but also can develop in multiple directions to improve the comprehensive ability.


No matter what major you choose to study, you should be clear about your future development direction and goal. Find your own design style in continuous improvement, keep your original intention, and realize your maximum value in future development.
