Features: Landscape design is a category of art and design that is built upon the concept of environmental art and design. Its content involves four disciplines: fine arts, architecture, landscape architecture, and urban planning. In simple terms, landscape design is the act of beautifying the environment. It can be said that it primarily focuses on shaping the visual spatial image of the exterior of buildings. This is a highly comprehensive and interdisciplinary field of environmental system design. Its environmental system is based on the content covered by landscape architecture; its design concept is guided by the holistic thinking approach of urban planning; and its design system is primarily composed of the structural elements of fine arts and architecture. Landscape design is a synthesis of time and space art, with its design objects encompassing various fields such as natural ecological environments, artificial built environments, and humanistic social environments. This book briefly elaborates on the basic theories and concepts of landscape design, introduces the professional foundation and design content of landscape design education, and selects exemplary landscape design cases. It can serve as a textbook for art and design majors in higher education institutions and also provide teaching references for educators and students in related fields.
