Landscape Planning and Design

Southwest Jiaotong University

In the history of river development, people gradually paid attention to the economic benefits brought by rivers, made more artificial transformations on rivers, and gradually ignored the important role of rivers in climate regulation. Living beside the water is a characteristic of the formation of traditional Chinese gardens. Man-made mountains that imitate natural forms, water surfaces that conform to natural shorelines, light buildings, and native plants, with their own different forms and organic combination forms a good small ecosystem. Every time the advent of climate problems will trigger the emergence of a new human civilization and the innovation of an era. When the climate changes again, we reorganize the wisdom of our predecessors, according to the environmental characteristics of different river flow sections, we use the concept of "harmony between man and nature" and "Yin and Yang coexist" and gardening techniques of classical gardens, combined with modern science and technology to provide answers to bring the garden environment with low environmental impact and a more comfortable microclimate from the river to the residential area.
