Application of the Golden Section and Golden Rectangle to Fountain Location in Landscape Design

Abstract:

The paper mainly conducts the study on the application of The Golden Ratio in landscape design through the planning of Liuqing Park. Exploring firstly the popularity of The Golden Ratio in plants, animals, and human, and as well as the exploitability in art, architecture, and formal garden design, it makes creative designs to the determination of a fountain and the path annexed to the minor roads. Under the guide of The Golden Ratio, detailed drawing methods to locate the position and the paths have been given, and to be a good try to combine mathematics and landscape design.
