Introduction to the park
The planning and design of parks should follow certain scientific and artistic principles to meet the functional requirements of recreation, appreciation and environmental protection. Planning is to study and solve the overall problems in park construction, such as determining the nature, function and scale of the park, the position and division of labor in the green space system, the relationship with urban facilities, spatial layout, environmental capacity, construction steps and so on.
Design is based on planning, with drawings and instructions to reflect the overall and local specific ideas. The original function of the park is very simple, focusing on providing a quiet rest environment, such as walking and enjoying the scenery.
The main materials that make up the park, such as plants, topography and landforms, have all evolved under the influence of natural conditions such as climate, time and space. Park planning and design must consider these influences, adjust measures to local conditions, and create different local characteristics and styles.
