The integration of design and environmental technology signifies the fusion of aesthetic and spatial creativity with functional and sustainable technologies. Traditionally, design has prioritized form and experience, while environmental technology has focused on infrastructure and numerical performance. However, in the field of landscape architecture, it is essential to harmonize these two aspects, planning, designing, and implementing them as a unified whole.
One illustrative example is outdoor design based on simulations of wind, thermal conditions, light, and shade enable spatial creations that respond to human activities and sensibilities while ensuring comfort. This is achieved by leveraging environmental engineering expertise, such as the strategic placement of trees, selection of paving materials, optimization of thermal environments, and pathways for airflow.
Additionally, the restoration of ecosystems, purification of soil & water, and incorporation of structures for resource circulation are also areas realized through the integration of environmental technology and design. These efforts do not merely create environmentally conscious spaces but propose a new paradigm for landscapes premised on the coexistence of humans and nature.
