Coexisting with nature is regarded as a practical and ethical guideline in landscape design, aiming to harmonize human life with the natural environment.
Modern urbanization and development often disrupt and suppress the principles of nature; however, landscape design serves as a "mediator" in this context. In response to increasingly severe phenomena such as torrential rains and extreme heat, landscapes as green infrastructure enhances urban resilience by leveraging ecosystem services, while also providing spaces for solace and learning for people.
Moreover, open spaces such as plazas, pathways, and parks serve as mechanisms that connect human sensibilities, culture, and regional memories with the natural environment. These are essential as places where humans and nature reconnect. Designs that encourage interaction with nature, such as planting schemes, water features, and landforms that allow people to experience the self-sustaining essence of nature, foster sustainable and enriched landscapes.
"Coexistence" embodies an active engagement with the environment and a commitment to shaping the future alongside nature. Landscape design, as a bridge between humanity and nature, creates "living landscapes" through the integration of technical expertise and sensitivity, playing a vital role in fostering deeper relationships between people and the natural world.
