Transformation of Urban and Natural Landscape

The Earth is now moving from most rural areas to most urban areas. Compared to 2000, the urbanization area will increase nearly threefold in 2030 (Seto et al., 2012). When using dark building materials such as asphalt and concrete, lower albedo occurs in urbanized areas than in the natural environment (Brest 1987). It adversely affects the climate and may become even more important in the near future. By replacing traditional materials of roof membranes and pavements with bright materials, careful planning of the expansion of the city in the future can compensate for the albedo in the lower town.

"Urban space creates a balance between high urban density and natural landscape by transforming the characteristics of Chinese classical landscape paintings such as lakes, springs, forests, streams, valleys, stones into contemporary" cityscape " "MAD wrote. That is a website. "The shape of the building reflects the landscape in the natural landscape and regains nature in the area of ​​the city."

Your view on landscape and urbanism In the past, it was a common philosophy that the work of architects and urban planners to change the shape of nature to make the landscape fit human beings' ideals. Or, the disadvantage is that nature is placed in its original state and can not be used without being affected by urban society. This brings about the inability of human space to evolve as civilization and ecology change. The landscape is a flowing medium essentially consistent with environmental, climate and wildlife change. The mountain grows, the weather is good, the river changes the route, and the desert becomes a tropical rainforest. The landscape is changing. Urbanism does not change from nature. Because it must be adaptable to the changing needs of human society. The space designed by this concept is not beautiful, convenient, natural, fully integrated space with the surrounding environment, but it creates a synergistic space rather than people and nature.
