Abstract

In the context of urbanization and an increasing ecological awareness in modern landscape architecture, such a way to organize small open spaces “in the courtyard” echoes the requirements of the 21st century developed towns where impacts on open space are felt through infilling of courtyard houses. Aimed at both the ecological benefits and aesthetic effects of landscape design for courtyard house, a program-based de-sign is completed systemically in terms of pre-design analysis to develop an ecological and beautiful figure within it functionality. Yet interest has moved beyond a unified approach that combines scientific knowledge with landscape-oriented solutions. While earlier researches have observed that the integration of ecological, function and aesthetic thinking should be strengthened in the initial stage of landscape design process, infrequently a systematic approach has been suggested. The aim of this paper is to discuss the process from designing the courtyard landscape as beginning, and then creating analysis poster and finally how the concept model are formed. It is also proposed that following the systematic steps at pre-designing stage, helps bring natural and man-made environment in accordance with each other and support for ecology towards ecological-sustainability. A new approach is proposed that provides a theoretical basis for the transformation of analytic knowledge into categorical representations of design, and makes possible a theory-practice nexus in landscape design. A method like this could contribute to improvement of the landscape design process for shaping more environmentally positive and visually-adequate court spaces and provide a view at past design performance against which future designs can be compared.
