Study about the Recycled Construction Wastes for Landscape Design

Abstract:

In recent years, there were plenty of construction wastes coming with the expanding of urban built-up areas and the progress of urban redevelopment. Consequently, how to renew and recycle the construction wastes becomes more and more important. Aiming at the causes and characteristics of various construction wastes, this paper advocates that landscape design may be used to solve this problem. Based on the current development about some treatments for the construction wastes in the world, it presents an effective recycling approach by using the wastes as landscape materials to re-discover the construction wastes’ values in environment, economy and society. Furthermore, four principles for this kind of recycling in the whole design process should be followed well, i.e. hommization, functionality, aesthetic and innovation. This paper also provides the direct and circular design methods, and illustrates the detailed practices, in order to offer new thinking for the materials application of landscape design.
