Study On Weeping Willow And Landscape Building

Plant is the most vital element in landscape architectural design. Moreover, the aesthetic and spatial characteristics of weeping willow is remarkably different from that of other plants, of which the typical landscape application is Yangzhou. Researching on weeping willow in Yangzhou, this thesis discuss the space construction, cultural artistic conception and aesthetic characteristics of it within a certain region, and base on the field survey and case study, make the study into systematized and theorized.The landscape application of weeping willow in Yangzhou Gardens is discussed in four aspects namely the site investigation, artistic conceptual plan, space and detail design.The part of site investigation discusses the suitable environment of weeping willow in Yangzhou, proposes the use of weeping willow must base on site historical context and its growth characteristics, emphasis the function and atmosphere of space to appropriate site selection and layout.Artistic conceptual plan concentrates in the artistic conception formation and composition of weeping willow landscape consider with artistic conception substance elements, environmental elements and cultural elements.The types of space which weeping willow landscape composites are summarized as semi-open type, covering type, linear type and closed.

This part propose that organize tour line by the role of weeping willow landscape's guidance, vision implies and focus of vision. Through recordation in literature and investigation of Yangzhou Gardens, the methods of planting design were analyzed and summed up, they were:the position in space relationship, master-slave relationship, planting, general layout, scale and proportion, function and role.The part of detail design mainly discusses how to integrate weeping willow with structure, road, Stone, bridge and other plants. And the use of weeping willow on color, texture, pavement and small garden ornaments. Base the research above, the recommendations of weeping willow landscape design principals and design guideline are made.
