The purpose of compiling the Landscape and Environment Design Series is to help domestic readers understand how Australia and Europe address the conflict between preservation and renewal, as well as development. The series selects architectural, environmental, and landscape works from over ten countries in Australia and Europe. Observe how residential communities are designed and built with the genuine aim of beautifying the lives and living environments of residents; see how squares are constructed for the leisure and activities of citizens, and how city parks provide excellent living and working environments for urban residents; examine the diverse landscape architecture that embodies both national culture and environmental harmony, along with numerous creative and evocative spaces. From Switzerland's picturesque cities with stunning natural scenery and a harmonious blend of nature and culture, to Austria's rustic yet grand landscapes with seagulls gathering by the shore and poetic living environments, to France's exquisite, romantic, and noble classical elegance with a focus on precise spatial proportions and the rational beauty of classicism, to the simplicity and naturalness of the Australian continent with its lush reeds and frost-kissed landscapes. Only by truly understanding it today can you learn how to draw inspiration, absorb, and discard.
