On Chinese modern landscape design trend
Intruduction

As the result of the interaction between humans and nature , landscapes bear witness to past and present relationships between human beings and their environment. Chinese traditional Landscapes are part of cultural heritage and key components of local, regional and national identities.

We are willng to find our identity though the architectures ,espacial our identity for culture and history...
