Recommendations on Promoting the Landscape Architecture Esthetics Research in China

Abstract:

This article reviews the landscape esthetics research in China in the last thirty years by collecting and listing the domestic journals concerning landscape esthetics and related literature since 1980. It analyzes and surmises the disadvantages and characteristics in the current situation of research on landscape esthetics in China. In order to solve the problems of vague subject in the research of landscape esthetics in China, as well as the complexity and variation in the scale of research objects, the authors propose that the concept of “landscape esthetics” should be renamed to “landscape architecture esthetics” in domestic academic research, recommending the improvement of theoretical research framework on landscape esthetics. Finally, it ends with an attempt to prospect the research on landscape esthetics in China.
