Different from the western classical stone buildings, China has formed traditional architectural style with wood as main body since ancient times. With progress of times and collision between Chinese cultures, people put forward higher requirements for current urban planning landscape design, hoping that future design can follow “Chinese new.” Traditional usually adopts solid model, rendering r...

Paper landscape refers to both a iterative design process and a document as an aid to the design and development process for creating new information visualizations. A paper landscape engages all stakeholders early in the process of creating new visualizations and is used to solicit input; clarify ideas, features, requirements, tasks; and obtain support for the proposal, whether group consensus...

Urban landscapes form the main parts of the city. One of these spaces is urban streets, in whichsocial interactions and urban vitality reach its maximum quality and quantity. One of the principles and properties ofurban landscape design is its intelligibility. A viewer who takes a look at an intelligible city and knows it can attract newemotional manifestations of city without damaging its orig...

city growth and environmental difficulties last decades leads the art of urban design and development think more precisely and new approaches for conserving environment and developing urban areas have been evolved.the present study deals with concepts related to ecology in the city and in particular the theory of ecological urbanism and its criteria is expressed. also theory and characteristics...

Geographers have been reticent on the role of the African diaspora in the contouring of Brazil’s biological and cultural landscapes. Whereas paradigm shifts have occurred in regards to environmental stability in the tropical realm and the pristine nature of pre-Columbian landscapes, these have not translated to a rigorous reassessment of the geographical position of Africans and their descendan...

We specify a system of equations that fully reflects the supply and demand sides of the market for agricultural open space at equilibrium. Although simple, the system is exceedingly flexible and allows for household and parcel heterogeneity. We derive an empirical model directly from the structural equations and contrast this using a simulated landscape with the econometric specification most o...

Web-based course is the important method in the landscape design teaching. In this paper, the ANP (Analytic Network Process) model has been adopted to evaluate the quality of the development of on-line courses, so as to provide the basis for preferred online courses. Conclude 10 evaluation indicators from 3 aspects of teaching, availability, and technology, and establish ANP model consisting of...

Here we show that constructal-law physics unifies the design of animate and inanimate movement by requiring that larger bodies move farther, and their movement on the landscape last longer. The life span of mammals must scale as the body mass (M) raised to the power 1/4, and the distance traveled during the lifetime must increase with body size. The same size effect on life span and distance tr...
