Preface

Garden planning and design is an ancient and young discipline in China. It is said to be ancient because the history of gardening can be traced back thousands of years, and there are a lot of examples and theories of traditional gardens in the world. However, due to the development and evolution of this discipline in practice, it is both an integration with modern society and a matter of recent decades.

Before the 1980s, there were few people in the garden planning and design industry. National power is limited. Except for individual outstanding works, it is still at a relatively basic level. Generally speaking, axes, scenic spots, landscaped greenery, and traditional or innovative garden architectural symbols have become common patterns in garden planning and design. The image of the park in people's minds is basically a pavilion under the shade of green.

Since the 1990s, economic development and urbanization have brought about the prosperity of urban garden planning and design in China. With the gradual improvement of urban functions, parks, green squares, ecological corridors and suburban scenic spots have become the modern symbol of the city and the inevitable way to improve the quality of urban environment, life and culture. The functional positioning of urban garden ecology, landscape, culture, rest and risk reduction has been gradually recognized by the industry. From traditional gardens to urban greening and suburban integrated landscape, the concept of landscape planning and design is gradually deepening and improving, and the field is also expanding. On the basis of the traditional culture, the designers constantly combine the national conditions in practice, absorb some new thoughts and ideas from abroad, and adapt to the needs of modern life to create a batch of better works. Landscape architects not only lead the landscape planning and design, but also participate in the overall urban planning to intervene in urban design from a larger and wider level.

Modern landscape planning and design must innovate the concept of planning and design, actively absorb the advanced experience and technology of foreign landscape planning and design, and combine the cultural characteristics and local customs of this region to design excellent landscape art works. At the same time, the planning and design of modern landscape gardens should give full play to their ecological, cultural and economic functions to create a good ecological environment for promoting the sustainable development of modern cities.

前 言

园林规划设计在我国应该说是一门古老而又年轻的学科。说它古老，是因为我们的造园史可以追溯到几千年前，有一批在世界上堪称绝佳的传统园林范例和理论。说它年轻，是由于这门学科在实践中发展、演变，既与现代社会融合接轨，又是近几十年的事。

20世纪80年代之前，园林规划设计业内人士很少，加上国力有限，除了出现过个别优秀作品外，总体上还处于比较初级的水平，一般地讲，轴线、景区、山水绿地，加上传统的或革新式的园林建筑符号，成为园林规划设计的普遍模式。人们心目中的公园形象，基本上是绿荫下的亭台。

20世纪90年代以来，经济发展了，城市化的进程带动了全国城市园林规划设计的繁荣随着城市功能的逐步健全，公园、绿化广场、生态廊道、市郊风景区等愈加成为了城市的现代标志，成为提升城市环境质量、改善生活品质和满足文化追求的必然途径，城市园林生态、景观、文化、休憩和减灾避险的功能定位逐步被业内认同，从传统园林到城市绿化，再到城郊一体化的大地景观，园林规划设计的观念在逐步深化和完善，领域也在拓宽。设计人员在实践中不断结合国情，在继续从传统文脉中吸取营养的基础上，吸纳国外的一些新思潮、新理念，顺应现代生活的需求，创造了一批较好的作品。风景园林师不仅主导着园林规划设计，还参与城市总体规划，介入城市设计，从更大更宽的层面上发挥作用。

现代景观园林规划设计必须创新规划设计理念，积极吸收国外景观园林规划设计的先进经验和技术，结合本地区的文化特色和风土人情，设计出优秀的景观园林艺术作品。同时，现代景观园林规划设计还要充分发挥其生态功能、文化功能和经济功能，为推动现代城市可持续发展创建良好的生态环境。
