Features: Traditional Chinese garden art has been extensively discussed in numerous works, gradually becoming well-known to the world. However, landscape design in courtyards, villages, suburban areas, along rivers, and famous mountains has not received sufficient attention from academia, with very few studies and introductions available. These aspects are, in fact, an important part of the achievements in traditional Chinese landscape construction art. The publication of this book aims to fill this gap. In addition to textual analysis and introduction of six landscape design styles in Jiangnan, the book presents existing outstanding examples with numerous photographs and over 300 measured drawings, providing a detailed and accurate depiction of their features. This book is suitable for landscape architects, architects, urban planners, cultural heritage preservation professionals, as well as scholars in landscape history, architectural history, and cultural history for research and reference. It also offers general art enthusiasts a new perspective for appreciation.
