Features: With the increasing frequency and depth of scientific and cultural exchanges between China and the West, Western design ideas have exerted an ever-wider influence on China's environmental design and other disciplines. How to extract new design meanings from traditional forms and nationalized content, and to create innovative design thinking, has become an essential and important task. This book is based on these two points. After multiple visits to Europe, the author collected and compiled a large amount of image materials, analyzing various aspects such as natural and artificial elements in art and the environment. It aims to provide inspiration and assistance to readers while addressing the shortcomings of existing domestic resources on European architecture and the environment. The book is divided into twelve parts: Population, Windows, Local Decorations, Building Fa?ades, Modern Architecture, Sculpture, Mural, Landscape Gardening, Water Features, Environmental, Storefront Displays, and Paving. It focuses on the spatial design of both interior and exterior environments, as well as the details of decorative elements, explaining the methods of shaping environmental spaces and the design concepts of modern architectural spaces. This book is suitable for students and faculty in architecture, landscape architecture, landscape design, environmental design, interior design, painting, and sculpture at universities and colleges, as well as professionals in related fields. It can also be read and collected by general travel enthusiasts.
