(Mr. Chen Tianqu admires Suzhou’s “Master of the Nets Garden” very much) The “form” and “spirit” of gardens However, there are many misunderstandings in integrating traditional culture into modern design. Many designs focus on the expression of "shape", such as Chinese knots, large carved furniture, etc., which are not only deliberately abrupt, but also impractical. Mr. Chen Tianqu said that in order to truly achieve a design that is more intangible than tangible and contains "spirit", we must first understand the charm of traditional culture, and we cannot just make a fuss about it. "For example, I said that the garden must first have walls, but you Just surrounding it with a circle of bricks or something else won't work. People have to live within a wall, so various factors such as the environment and wind direction must be taken into consideration. Traditional Yi theory talks about yin and yang and Feng Shui when building your garden. As for the wall, generally speaking, the west side should be high, and windows should not be opened, because the northwest wind in China is strong and it is still dry; the east wall should be low, because the east side is humid. "Master's Garden") "Many people don't understand the principles behind these." Mr. Chen sighed with emotion. It doesn't mean building a rockery, digging a pond, or putting up a Chinese knotted bed to create a Chinese style garden. The benefits of ancient wisdom are due to the designer’s knowledge base and careful and responsible attitude. Mr. Chen Tianqu’s job is to do relevant research, but he also does some gardening himself. Mr. Chen Tianqu’s garden works include: “Pu Garden” of the Suzhou Municipal Government’s cultural heritage protection project (the entire restoration of old gardens and new gardens in this project were designed and directed by Mr. Chen Tianqu), including the Suzhou Taohuawu New Year Painting Museum. Established, "Jiayuan" in Suzhou, "Yuyuan" in Taihu Lake, "Wuyuan", a rooftop garden in the industrial park, etc. How can you apply ancient wisdom to your own designs? Mr. Chen advocated that the wind direction and sunshine should be fully considered. Understand the "yin and yang" in life and make good use of this "yin and yang". For example, pay attention to where the reflections of trees and buildings are cast, and then make full use of these factors to fully consider the overall layout from a functional perspective.
