ABSTRACT
Design requires an analogue process to facilitate imagination. This approach is adopted throughout the whole process from design concept to implementation. For landscape architectural design, there is a specific content that needs to be revealed as landscape design sites require more careful efforts. The design of a landscape with houses, hills, trees and stones in a site of about 10,000 m2 can be referred to as a medium scale design. Sites and buildings in such a scale may be a boundary of three-dimensional landscape space pondered using an entity model. The scale of landscape suggests a state of close cooperation between man-made and nature. The categories are named mountain-site land, urban-site land, village-site land, country-site land, villa-site land and lakeside land. Human visual observation facilitates the representation of the local space and landscape sequence, with the highest requirements for the accuracy of model building, which can even be expressed by a large-scale sectioned model.
