Wenchuan earthquake happened on 12th May,2008, which attracted worldwide attention, is the most devastating and the biggest disaster since the establishment of the People's Republic of China. When the earthquake happened, it was just the time for school, thus students were the biggest victims. According to statistics, it caused approximately 13,779 schools damaged in Sichuan Province, approximately 24,889,600 square meters of the building area damaged, and the student victims reached 19,065. Hence, educational facilities suffered great losses, and the schools need a very large-scale reconstruction. Such a painful lesson is worthy for us to think about as we are not able to fight against the nature. However, can we build schools safer and firmer? Thus, how to construct a safer and firmer new school which fits students'school life becomes an important task of reconstruction.This thesis with reconstructions of the primary and middle schools in Wenchuan and Yushu, proposes the study on the design of school landscape in reconstruction, combining the enlightenment from the reconstruction after the earthquake in Taiwan. Firstly, this thesis illustrates the definition of landscape of primary and middle schools in reconstruction, by analyzing the factors that affect landscape in disaster area and human needs, namely, the psychological, physical and behavior needs of students and teachers. Then this thesis proposes the principle for designing the landscape for the reconstruction of primary and middle schools:the principle of safety focusing on the accessibility for disable students and the spiritual culture represented by school landscape that should be better represented in reconstruction. On which, this thesis explores the ways and procedures of landscape design in reconstruction from the perspective of overall design, space planning, traffic organization, pavement, lighting, landscape architecture, environmental sculpture and facilities, etc.
