The Knowledge System of Vertical Design and Its Teaching Approach
Under the background of profound changes in society and adjustment of the discipline of landscape architecture,the better teaching of landscape architecture is the basis for sustainable and healthy industry development.Although the education of vertical design attached to landscape engineering has existed for a long time,many problems still need to be solved,such as insufficient cognition and shortage of teaching time,and the fundamental importance and urgency of vertical design have not been taken seriously.The vertical design is decomposed into eight steps:"water""field""mountain""building""road""green""garden""shape".The main technical terms of vertical design are quantitative calculation,drawing expression,and transforma-tion between multi-dimensional scenes.Vertical integration consciousness training should be the priority in cultivating vertical design ability.Quantitative computation training needs to deal with the relationship between"design"and"calculation"and get out of the misunderstanding of"calculation for all but design".Electronic smart devices can assist in establishing the correspon-dence between two-dimensional graphics and three-dimensional entities.Still,the direct connection between vertical data and personal feeling requires on-site perception.In teaching practice,the courses of various majors are systematically disassembled,integrated,and deployed based on vertical design,and the knowledge context of"theory""design""practice"is connected,together with the main courses of the STUDIOS for vertical design ability training are the guarantee of good teaching results.Thus,a complete vertical design teaching system can be constructed,and students can truly acquire the ability of three-dimen-sional thinking to explore site design and use vertical to coordinate various landscape elements.
