Simple is the best!

This picture gave me a fresh thinking about how to compare hardscape and softscape in a very good way.Even it looks simple, but there is a lot of details in it. This space around are contours. It looks like a city's quare.The designer use some trees and grasses to block the noise and wind. Then people can enjoy the good sunshine, beautiful weather here. I really like this design, because even it looks simple,but everything is in order,no matter the shape of the grassland, shrubs, trees or the benches.

Simplicity and complexity need each other.Also,simplicity and complexity always reinforce each other.I think this is a good example to show how to plant grasses, flowers and some other plants in one space. They all planting in a rectangular grid, but they looks very beautiful and harmonious. Also, the color they use, the material they choose are perfect combinations of moderen design and classic design. 

Nature makes nature

This picture give me a sense of “Nature Makes Nature”. Nature makes nature is like a panacea that can save earth itself. I think the water, wind, soil, sunlight, vegetation, grassland, roads, hedgerows, lakes, rivers, forest, stones...... all become the major factors that will be affect people’s life. Our living environment damaged a lot these years, even the nature can restore it by itself, but we still need to set a human’s goals of cleaner water, fresher air, healthier waterways and wildlife habitat to give people a warning of their activities. For a landscape Architect, we need to work with nature, so how to restore ecology and use nature make nature is what we really need to think.
From this picture we can see some part is nature, some part is man made, but they combinated these good elements to get functionality that human want. The vegetation, wood,   pavement here looks very harmonious. And we can see all the elements are in order, looks very nice. Moreover, I like the color shows on this picture, it looks very fresh. I believe when I walk here, it will give me a special feeling and experiencing!

First day!

Landscaping can purify your soul!

In some parts, landscape is equals to the outdoor spaces. But in my mind, landscape is also related to the "inside", no matter the real interior design or our deep heart. Landscape seems like a comprehensive discipline which is the architects need to know the mathematics, geography, topography, climate, drainage, slope, vegetation, history, culture.....
 Landscape Architect's work is about making people's living environment more and more beautiful, and trying to make them feel more comfortable and healthy( no matter for vision, audition or olfaction). Like this picture, this is a normal place, but when we decorate it, then it looks different, we can use our thinking to create some different shapes and try to make it interesting and special. We want to give it a new soul which can touch people's heart directly. I believe a good landscape design can purify people's soul and touch people's heart. So when begin your design try to ask yourself what is people's wants and what is people's needs.
