Scene-sense Ecology

The concept of "scene-sense ecology" meets the needs of people and the time, which is a kind of basic ecology theory with the goal of sustainable development. It is a science that studies land use planning, construction and management from the aspects of natural elements, physical perception, psychological response, social economy and so on. Its idea advocates that human perception, namely vision, smell, hearing, taste, touch and psychological feelings, should be incorporated into the study of urban ecological environment. Chinese classical gardens are a comprehensive ecosystem integrating water, earth, air, sound, wind and other elements. The proposal of "scene-sense ecology" offers a new perspective for the study and appreciation of Chinese classical gardens.
