The living environment includes not only the green coverage rate of not less than 33%, but also the green hard pavement, fences, gates, activity facilities, various indication signs, waterscapes, reliefs, sculptures, lighting facilities, audio facilities, etc., which must be organically combined with residential buildings.
As far as greening is concerned, it is not pure green. Proper planting of trees, shrubs, vines, herbs and corolla trees and planting methods suitable for the four seasons must be considered, while hard pavements and activity facilities should fully consider their use functions, such as strict regulations on barrier-free design, and the display of works of art should pay more attention to their cultural implications and artistic taste. In terms of discipline, the environment involves many engineering fields, such as civil engineering, landscaping, art, municipal administration and so on. And these must be organically combined by experienced designers.
The landscape of the community is "medium scale"
Attaching importance to people's subjectivity is a kind of respect for people themselves, which is not empty talk, and many concrete work embodies this point. For example, the outdoor activities of the elderly and children should be mainly considered in the setting of activity facilities, and its scale should be adapted to various scales of ergonomics. The comfort and safety of people who come into contact with them, as well as the durability of use, should be considered from the color, texture and chemical properties of materials.
The landscape in the residential area is not only for residents to enjoy, but also must match the leisure activities of residents, that is to say, residents can wander among them and really use these landscape facilities. For example, scattered structures in the centralized open space of residential areas should form large or small, public or private activity spaces to meet the use requirements of different activities. Open space is available for residents to do morning exercises collectively or hold mass entertainment activities. So the landscape is not only for people to see, but also for people to use.
Too much pursuit of environmental individuality
The environmental design of residential areas should be rich and colorful, and there will be many exciting points in vision and use, and these points must be organized in an internal order to form an independent, centralized and orderly picture, otherwise it will be fragmented, and the ultimate goal of all this is to serve residents, rather than a place for designers to express their personal colors.
Environmental design is a comprehensive subject. Historically, there are many immortal patterns and related theories in urban public environment design in the West, while in the East, there are unique artists in gardening art, just like oil painting and Chinese painting, who create different forms in different ways, but they are also beautiful life scenes. Today's environmental design should learn from the wisdom of others, inherit the tradition and serve today's life.
