The Ecological Code of Landscape Cities: Traditional Feng Shui Patterns for Modern Sustainable Spatial Designs

Abstract

The traditional Feng Shui pattern embodies rich ecological wisdom and philosophical thoughts, which are of great significance to the modern sustainable space design. The core concepts of Feng Shui patterns from traditional civilization can provide a theoretical foundation and research framework for this study. By integrating these principles, such as “hiding the wind and gathering the Qi” and “backing the mountain and facing the water”, a functional relationship between urban structures can be established. This approach can help optimize the spatial layout of urban elements, minimize energy consumption, and enhance environmental comfort. It also examines the influence of the ShanShui City pattern in traditional Feng Shui on guiding the development of modern urban ecological networks, as well as its role in protecting and restoring biodiversity through ecological corridors and ecological nodes. The modern urban design of traditional Feng Shui culture focuses on the inheritance and innovation of riotous things and the combination of traditional Feng Shui concepts and modern design concepts to form ecological spaces with cultural connotation. This paper hopes to give some inspiration or methods for contemporary urban design and to reconcile the relationship between human and nature through these thoughts.
