A Study Of Design Concepts Of The Central Square In Suzhou

The theme of the concept square is"recalling the ancient city and missing the hometown".The elements of the city, ponds, the landscape and the garden abstracted into signs and are employed in the design, representing Suzhou's unique history and culture. In landscape planning, ecological sustainability should be pursued with the"oneness of heaven and man"and"putting people first"as the guiding principles; the traditional thought of"the vault is round and the earth square"should be conveyed; and western abstract geometric forms will be used to represent the city and the garden. The central square is not only a symbol of the city and a gathering place for people, but also a combination of the city's history and culture and a realm of natural and artistic beauty. A city must have a square with special charm to make the city a joy and an attraction.
