The architectural characteristics of classical Chinese gardens

The characteristics of classical garden architecture are as follows:

Firstly, the duality of function and landscape-making, viewing the landscape and embellishing the landscape is characterized. Garden architecture to show that it meets the functional value of garden activities and use, but also to act as a garden landscape, it is both a material product, but also for people to appreciate the work of art, and garden architecture to give people the spiritual needs of the more with its own functional value, so the artistic aspects of the garden architecture is more demanding, not only ornamental value, but also rich in a certain poetic mood.

Second, garden architecture is the integration of the natural environment with the garden building characteristics. Garden architecture is to make full use of the natural terrain and the environment after favorable conditions, so that the garden environment and natural landscape combination of buildings. The environment is the primary consideration in the architectural design, in determining the architectural design of the environment is the starting point for its consideration, the proportion of the building accounted for the environment should be determined by the environmental composition. Garden architecture also pursues its plane layout and space sequence of lively and diverse. The most attractive part of the design is the spatial sequence and the viewing route. In addition, the natural climate and seasons are also the combination of garden architecture and the natural environment should be considered. In general, the architecture of the garden architecture as a landscape will be integrated into the garden, so that it and the landscape, grass and stone accordingly, and to the landscape as the main body, to the building as a backdrop.

Third, the garden architecture colorful, decorative fine features. Bright and lively color is the characteristics of classical gardens, painted, red columns, glazed tiles and other brightly colored decorations are mostly used in the northern royal garden buildings, most of the external walls of the southern garden buildings with pink decorations, together with black tiles, chestnut-colored hanging down, railings, beams and columns. Timber color or light brown is used for building interior decoration, light brown or wood color with white walls, gray door frames on the formation of clean and bright colors. Modern garden architecture is also the pursuit of more bright and lively colors, set off the characteristics of the building easy and bright. In the garden building design, often according to the environmental theme and decide what color, material, the environment is an important influence in the design, such as luxury and magnificent architectural beauty, elegant and simple architectural beauty.

Fourth, the group combination of garden architecture features, Western architecture in order to pursue the appearance of the sculptural beauty of the form and the internal spatial structure of the beauty of the room will often be different functions, uses are concentrated in the same building, which formed a huge body of buildings. China's classical architecture due to the use of ancient architectural structure system has formed a small volume, simple shape, shorter building characteristics, but also determines the size and shape of the building has a different function. Integration of nature, small building volume, the building can not be cut off between the characteristics of garden architecture. Because of its small building volume is bound to be scattered layout, spatial changes should be enriched, such as the division of scenic spots and space will be commonly used roads, walls, corridors and other organizational compounds, which should be the "Garden Metallurgy" on the "skillful because of the borrowing, the essence of the body in the appropriate".
