Features: This book includes four parts, with the first three parts covering the basic principles of visual design: basic elements, variables, and organization, and the fourth part being case studies. The first three parts define and discuss all the basic elements that make up the landscape. Each basic element can vary in multiple ways, and they can also be organized into various patterns. It comprehensively describes the patterns found in existing landscapes or generates new visual design patterns. The purpose of this book is to enable architects, landscape architects, and urban planners to not only organize elements into visually pleasing arrangements when designing landscapes but also to achieve a balance between functionality, cost, and aesthetics. They should be able to discuss and apply these visual design principles in a structured manner and apply them to urban artificial environments.
