Industrialization and state-of-the-art technology has brought a lot ofmaterial wealth to the Chinese people, but also crowded, dirty, cold cities as well.As a country with its population accounting for one-fifth of the world’s population,the healthy development of the urban environment has become a topic of growingconcern in China. In the meantime, the design sector of the developed countries hasalso gong through some quiet changes, it is no longer the pursuit of internationalmodernism with gradual esthetic fatigue of monotonous, rigid glass curtain wallconstruction, instead, designers are again exploring a new style of modernismwhich can replace the prevailing modernism. In the context of these thoughts somepeople have called for the construction of urban landscape with their regional stylesor features. Many of the designers from the different countries are striving to showthe cultural connotation of their places of birth in their own works, and China is noexception. The process of modernization in China has recently started, since peoplehave been tired of the urban pattern with" thousands of cities of same face ". Peoplehave begun to miss those disappearing civilizations and new exploration has begunthroughout China at present.However, when we look at the road map in pursuit of the urban landscape withthe localized features, we have realized that countries are featured with their owngeographical, cultural conditions, it is very difficult to design technical methodswith the unified theory, so people just insist on their own views and the true fact isthat the previous times can always be summarized clearly and logically, however,people really have different opinions on the development trend of the contemporaryurban landscape. This thesis aims at looking at the dozens of national andinternational urban landscape or architectural projects with their geographicalfeatures to sum up the twelve regional design work evaluation factors with theintention to be able to play a positive role for the future development of regionalculture mining of designers.
