Enclosure and enclosure cooperation are the most basic forms of landscape walls, which are usually embodied around the whole landscape and form the whole landscape area. It emphasizes the independence of the inward space separated by the landscape wall, which forms psychological isolation for the field experiencers and avoids the external environment from having too much influence on the atmosphere in the region.
Connection, as the medium of landscape design, establishes the mutual connection between different spaces in the separated space and establishes the linear dynamic relationship between independent landscapes, thus affecting the core order of the whole landscape space.
Guidance, the creation of wall landscape also affects the visual directivity of the overall landscape space, which can be divided into three guiding methods: static, horizontal and vertical. When the height of the landscape wall is greater than its width, the landscape presents a vertical guidance to the space, and the space will present a vertical extension feature; On the contrary, when the width of the landscape wall is greater than its height, the landscape presents a lateral guidance to the space, and the space will also show the characteristics of lateral extension.
Intervention, in a landscape design, the design of wall landscape contains a part of the principle of "invasion", that is, the intervention form of wall landscape, which is used to break the unified planning of the original design space, make the overall landscape flexible and changeable, and enhance drama and interest.
Basic functions of wall landscape
Maintenance function: the wall landscape plays the role of protection and shielding, and the main purpose is to maintain the privacy of the space. This concept of self-isolation and isolation is particularly common in traditional landscaping in China, and it also reflects the idea of self-isolation and hierarchy in feudal society. With the progress of thinking and civilization, this architectural form with shadow wall as the main part has begun to adopt semi-transparent or even fully transparent design, and the concept of closure has gradually faded, replaced by an open and shared ideology.
