The Space Continuity Of Jiangnan Private Garden

The continuous space of Jiangnan private garden is a garden space composed of stone, waters, architectures, plant and other landscape elements, and is also the relationship of the topology combination inside the garden space. The continuous space is formed by the constant change of the contrast, brightness, density and layout of the space sequence, which is made of interactions of many single garden spaces. When visitors walk through the garden, the movement of the people will accompany with the changes of the landscape we see, which is the root cause of the painting scroll feeling of the garden space.Throughout the Jiangnan private garden theory system, the researches of garden space mainly focus on the space planning and space sequence, especially in garden space organization. The paper focuses on continuous space research and optimizes related theory. Firstly, by understanding the continuous garden space, analyze the space characters, the organization and transition, and ways of the changing of the continuous space. Then, discuss the key factor in continuous garden space design in several domains, such as space, space feelings and dynamic visual effect. Finally, apply the results of research into Nanjing Jieziyuan planning program and review the practice feedback.
