What are the design style classification and characteristics of private courtyard?

Nowadays, people's lives are getting better and better, and more and more people have private gardens or courtyards, so how to arrange their own private courtyard will become a big hobby for many people. Plant some plants in the courtyard, not only can improve the home environment, but also can cultivate the sentiment, can be said to be a multi-purpose thing. However, the layout of their own courtyard is not as simple as planting some plants on the balcony, not only to consider plant varieties, design style also has a lot to say. I will briefly introduce you to the two major categories of courtyard design style and their respective characteristics, if you also have the need to decorate the courtyard, you can learn together.

Private courtyard

First, from the layout is divided into three major categories: regular, natural, mixed

1, the regular style of the composition of the composition of geometric shapes, the vertical elements are also often regular spheres, cylinders, cones and so on. Regular style garden is divided into symmetrical and asymmetrical style, symmetrical style has two axes, intersecting at the center of the garden, the garden is divided into four completely symmetrical parts, the rules of symmetrical garden solemn atmosphere, giving a person a sense of tranquility, stability and order; asymmetrical garden of two axes are not intersected at the center of the garden, a single element is often an odd number of geometric shapes of the elements of the composition of the layout focuses on adjusting the visual gravity of the garden rather than adjusting the visual gravity of the garden, the vertical elements are often regular sphere, cylinder, cone and so on. Adjust the visual center of gravity of the garden without emphasizing repetition. Compared with the former, the latter is more dynamic and lively.

2, natural garden is completely imitating the wild beauty of the natural landscape, do not use the structure and materials with obvious traces of artifacts. The design of the pursuit of the aesthetic realm, although done by people, just like heaven. Even if the hard structures must be built, natural wood or local stone is used to integrate into the surrounding environment.

3, most of the garden both regular and natural features, which is a hybrid garden. This has three types of manifestations, one is the rule of the composition of elements in a natural layout, the European classical aristocratic gardens have such characteristics; the second type is the natural composition of elements in a regular layout. Such as the northern courtyard garden; the third category is the rule of hard structures and natural soft elements of natural connection, the new Shanghai villa courtyard most of the site despite the asymmetry, but close to the residential part is still regular, you can square or round hard paving and natural planting landscaping and the outer edge of the irregular lawn combined together. This is a good way to balance a piece of land that is neither strictly geometric nor oddly shaped in its natural state.

Private garden

Second, from the cultural characteristics of the three categories: Chinese, Japanese and European

1, Chinese garden has three tributaries: the north of the courtyard garden, the Jiangnan landscape, Lingnan garden; which the highest achievement of the Jiangnan garden, the largest number. Chinese garden has a strong classical ink landscape painting mood. Composition on the curve-based, pay attention to the winding paths, avoid a glimpse, pay attention to feng shui "gathering gas", garden is composed of architecture, landscape, flowers and trees *** with the composition of the work of art, the building to wooden pavilions, platforms, corridors and pavilions based on the moon hole door, lattice windows of the Diwu wall to play a role or blocking or guiding or dividing the line of sight and paths and roles. Garden plants have a clear meaning and strict location. For example, bamboo is planted behind the house, laurel is planted in front of the hall, peonies and peonies are planted in the flower bed, sycamore is planted in front of the steps, banana is planted at the corner, white pine is planted on the slope, lotus is planted in the pond, bamboo is used in the landscape, bamboo and stalagmite are used in the landscape, and stone table and chair are used in the vignette and stone is used in the vignette.

2. The Japanese garden originated from the Chinese culture of Qin and Han dynasties, and the traces of Chinese classical garden are still faintly recognizable. During the process of Chinese garden from imitating natural landscape to literati landscape, the Japanese garden has gradually got rid of the poetic and romantic interests, and has gone to the realm of dryness, silence and wabi-sabi, and this garden expresses the mysterious and profound Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and the principles of the law in a simple material and abstract way. This garden uses simple materials and abstract methods to express the profound Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and explains the realm of "the elders and the sons, out of the fire of the three worlds, sitting in the cool dewy land" in the language of gardening.

(1) Chikuzanting and Pinting

Pond and spring style refers to the garden structure to ponds and springs combination of the main landscape, Chikuzanting is emphasized on the topography of the earth for the mountain, Pinting corresponds to Chikuzanting refers to the garden planning on a flat base, the pursuit of deep valleys on the flat land of the exquisite, the coast of the island of the effect of the remote; Chikuzanting and Pinting are true, rows, cursive, three kinds of forms, the true court is a full range of imitation of real mountains and real water. The real court is an all-round imitation of the real mountain and real water, while the row court is a partial simulation and a small amount of omission; the grass court is a large number of omissions.

(2) Kusansui and Ikebukuro

Kusansui is the essence of Japanese gardens, the essence of sand instead of water, stone instead of island practice. With very few compositional elements to achieve a great charm effect, the pursuit of Zen silence beauty. Kusansui has two kinds of symbolic objects, one is a mountain stream or waterfall, Japan called Kutaki; the other is the coast and islands; pond spring is a miniature of the real landscape, pond spring is generally the center of the garden, Kusansui and pond spring are in the natural layout of the pool set up creek pit stone on behalf of the island, and the bank connected to the barge called the middle of the island in accordance with the different positions were called turtle island, crane island, ponlei and so on the name of the standing in the water or the sand in the rock there are more name, will not repeat here.

(3) tea court

Tea court is also known as the open ground is derived from the tea ceremony culture of a form of gardening, so far, the tea court of the landscape role has been greater than the practical function. Tea court garden is generally in a space into the tea room, according to a certain route layout of the landscape, to the simple step stone symbolizes the rugged stone paths in the mountains, to the ground of the pine refers to the lush forests, squatting hand-washing mantle associated with the refreshing springs to the vicissitudes of the heavy stone lanterns to create and, silent, clear, quiet atmosphere of the Tea Ceremony. There is a very strong Zen mood.

(4) sit and watch type, boat tour type, back to tour type

Japanese gardens are mainly quiet observation, especially small gardens, the viewing angle is only one, although in the garden road, but also just to see rather than letting people go into the enjoyment, so it is called sit and watch type of gardens. Back to swim with this counterpart, is available for people to go in to enjoy the game, its viewing angle has more than one, can be done step by step change of scenery. Boat tour is a boat as a means of transportation back to the garden. In the large garden is generally a combination of the three ways, some of the larger courtyard can also be used back to the style.

3, the style of European gardens have five branches: Italian-style terrace garden, French-style water garden, Dutch-style rules of the garden, the British natural garden, British theme garden. From the former to the latter countries of the development of the garden in the same line.

The Italian peninsula is very mountainous, and the buildings are mostly built according to the situation, the garden in front of the "terraces" type of terrace, the center of the central axis, the central axis on both sides of the planting of towering fir, pine trees, platforms, flower beds, sculptures and other small symmetrical layout.

Italian courtyard myth sculpture Features: Terrace type sculpture fountain design concept: Renaissance Italy, built in the countryside villa garden, which inherited the ancient Roman garden features, using a planned layout and the Department of prominent axis. Because of the Italian peninsula on three sides of the sea, more mountainous hills, and therefore its gardens are built on the slopes. In a central axis along the slope, a layer of terraces, fountains, statues, etc., plants using boxwood or cypress tree pattern tree beds, highlighting the evergreen trees and less flowers. Necessary elements: sculpture, fountains, steps waterfall Italian courtyard on the treatment of water is extremely important, borrowing terrain steps into channels, high convergence of water sources lead to put down, the formation of layers fell waterfalls, the use of different heights of the pressure difference, the formation of a variety of different shapes of fountains, tower, or statues installed on the wall to form the wall fountains. As decorative ornaments, there are various shapes, such as delicately carved stone balustrades, stone altars and jars, inscriptions, and marble statues based on classical myths, etc., thus forming an Italian terrace garden with its own style. The main landscape of the Italian garden is mostly set up in the center axis of the wide road sculpture or flower beds, few water features, even if there is also a small basin fountain. Italian-style terrace garden into France, France to the plains and more rivers and lakes, so the garden is designed to be flat on the axis of symmetry and uniform rules of the layout, the difference is that the French garden will often be round or rectangular large pond design in the axis, along the pond on both sides of the set of straight and narrow roads. Later the Dutch pruned the trees into geometric shapes and various animal shapes. In contrast, the British preferred natural bushes and grass, especially pay attention to the integration of borrowed scenery and the natural environment outside the garden, pay attention to the shape of the flowers, color, taste, flowering period and bush planting, the emergence of the main configuration of flowers for the main, the content of the "garden", and even a flower as the theme of the special garden, such as the "rose garden", "rose garden", "rose garden", "rose garden", "rose garden", "rose garden", "rose garden", "rose garden", "rose garden", "rose garden" and "rose garden". "Rose Garden", "Lily Garden", "Iris Garden" and so on, so that a mention of the continental garden, will be associated with a large lawn, planted trees, pieces of the beauty of the flower path.
