I. Introduction. Cemetery architecture and landscape design is a field that is both monumental and artistic. It is not only about the emotional expression of life and death, but also carries history, culture and tradition. This article will ** the basic principles and elements of cemetery architecture and landscape design and how to achieve harmony and unity.
Second, the design of the cemetery building.
1.Tombstone design: Tombstone is an important part of cemetery architecture, and its design should consider factors such as the age, gender, and occupation of the deceased. At the same time, the shape, material and color of the tombstone should also be in harmony with the overall cemetery environment. Modern tombstone designs usually adopt a simple, modern style, focusing on the texture of materials, such as stone, copper, glass, etc.
2.Memorial: A memorial is a place where the life story of the deceased and related commemorative items are displayed. The size, shape, and color of the memorial should be taken into account when designing, so that it is in harmony with the overall style of the cemetery. At the same time, the interior layout and lighting of the memorial should also take into account the feelings of visitors.
3.Ritual sweeping facilities: Sacrificial sweeping facilities include rest areas, toilets, storage rooms, etc., which are an indispensable part of the cemetery building. The location and number of facilities should be considered in the design, so that they can facilitate the memorial activities without affecting the overall aesthetics of the cemetery.
3. Landscape design of the cemetery.
1.Greening: Greening is the basis of cemetery landscape design. Choose suitable plant species, such as evergreen species, flowers and lawns, to create a solemn and tranquil environment. At the same time, the selection of plants should also take into account the seasonal changes, so that the cemetery is like spring all year round.
2.Landscape sketches: Landscape sketches include sculptures, fountains, flower beds, etc., which are an important part of the cemetery landscape. The theme and location of the sketch should be considered in the design, so that it is in harmony with the entire cemetery environment. At the same time, the form and material of the sketch should also consider the emotional connection with the deceased and his family.
3.Roads and squares: Roads and squares are the skeleton of the cemetery landscape. The width and slope of the road should be considered in the design, so that it is convenient for the worship and sweeping activities, and will not affect the beauty of the entire cemetery. At the same time, the size and shape of the plaza should also take into account the emotional needs of the deceased and their families.
4. Harmony and unity: the integration of architecture and landscape.
The integration of architecture and landscape is at the heart of the cemetery design. Designers should regard the building and landscape as a whole, and make the building and landscape complement and echo each other through reasonable layout and careful design. Specifically, designers should consider the following aspects:
1.Color matching: The colors of the building and landscape should be coordinated with each other, and avoid overly harsh or abrupt color combinations. Generally speaking, light colors such as white and gray are more suitable for the cemetery environment.
2.Texture performance: The materials of the building and landscape should have consistency or similarity to express the harmony and unity of the whole. For example, materials such as stone and metal are often used in cemetery buildings, while lawns and flowers are often used in cemetery landscapes.
3.Spatial layout: The spatial layout of the building and landscape should echo each other to form an organic whole. The designer should reasonably arrange the location and height of the building, as well as the distribution of landscape sketches, to create a comfortable and tranquil environment.
In short, cemetery architecture and landscape design is a comprehensive field, which requires designers to have rich experience and professional skills. Through reasonable layout and careful design, we are able to create a cemetery environment that is both solemn and beautiful, so that the deceased can rest in peace and the living can remember.
