"Rocky Dwelling"and the Form of Urban Furniture with Rock Imagery
In traditional art,natural flat rocks can be used for sitting and lying down,and the rocky habitats of lying down and waking up have become a kind of elegant aesthetic symbols."Qianrenzuo"in Tiger Hill,Suzhou,is precisely an example of choosing and exploring the physicality of natural rocks and then giving them a humanistic nature.And the stacking of rocks and the rock furniture in classic gardens are intentionally endowed with the properties of furniture andliterati meanings.Based on the physicality and humanity of traditional rocks,this paper reflects on the existing stone furniture design practices at home and abroad,discusses the architectural landscape works with the beauty of both nature and tradition,and puts forward the idea of translating the true interest of rocks by"getting away from the form to get the likeness",which means transcending the material and form of rocks and artistically reproducing the shape and meaning of rocks.This will help urban rock furniture achieve the effect of both physicality and humanity and add the nature of urban public space.
