Principles and practices of local hard landscape designing in geopark:A case of mark monument designing in Wensu geopark, Xinjiang
Geoparks have become a very important kind of tourist attractions.Geopark's landscape designing has attracted more and more attentions from both theoretical researchers and practitioners.Geopark landscapes are composed of natural landscapes and artificial landscapes.Artificial landscapes in geopark are also named hard landscapes.Hard landscape,as a significant part of the geopark landscape system,is a vital information media between tourists and local spirits,and is the carrier of local features,images and cultures.At present,a serious problem of ignoring local uniqueness appears in geopark hard landscape design practice in China.This paper,based on the principles,such as situation imagination,themed design and practical function,from an ancient famous book,The Craft of Gardens,puts forward a concept framework of geopark hard landscape designing,based on special locality.The design framework consists of three aspects,namely local factors,local design principles,and elements of hard landscape.Local characteristics,as geographical backgrounds,cultural traditions and technological conditions are all integrated into hard landscape design of geopark,by way of scientific interpretation,scenic sign and user-oriented system.Special local characteristics are virtually exhibited by the designed hard landscape.Geographical backgrounds are the scientific bases,cultural traditions are the creative source,and technological conditions are the keys of human caring.Geopark's hard landscape,as the carrier of esthetical expression of locality,should be expressed abstractly,concretely,and multi-dimensionally.According to the analyses of the hard landscape in geopark,scale,color and texture are the most important elements of hard landscape design.This gives us an assistance to avoid landscape with generally the similar shape,color and texture in geoparks characterized by distinct regional features,thereby strengthening the uniqueness and value experience during the process of park-design.Taking mark monument design in Wensu geopark in Xinjiang as a case,this paper shows the concept of locality and its application value in hard landscape design for geopark.This creates a new horizon for the idiographic design of hard landscape in geopark.
