"Pavilion is the place where people stop and gather". Pavilion is set in the garden, and the key is location. It is characterized by its open surroundings, relatively small and concentrated in shape. Therefore, the pavilion is often combined with mountains, water and greening to form a landscape, and serves as a means to "point out the landscape" in the garden. The functions of the pavilion are diverse, and the site selection is also important. The construction type should be combined with the surrounding landscape. Now let's talk about the layout of the pavilion position in the garden landscape design. The design needs to start from the needs of the landscape architecture space composition, flexibly arrange, and maximize the characteristics of its garden art.
1. Build a pavilion near the water
When a pavilion is built on the water surface, it should be close to the water surface as much as possible. It should be low rather than high. It is better to stand out from the water. The water surface surrounds three or four sides. In Chinese gardens, water is an important component, so pavilions and pavilions are often set up near the water. There are many types of waterside pavilions. For example, if you build a pavilion near the water, it is best to build a pavilion near the water surface at a lower level. The layout methods include: one side facing the water, two sides facing the water, and multiple sides facing the water; When building pavilions near the shore, they are often connected to the water bank by curved bridges, small dikes, and Ting Bu, making the pavilions surrounded by water; There are similar pavilions built on the island: the pavilion in the center of the lake, the pavilion at the end of the continent, etc., which is the intersection of the line of sight on the water surface, and the viewing surface is prominent, but the island should not be too large; The pavilion built on the bridge can not only provide rest, but also divide different spaces. The bridge on a small water surface should be lower than the water surface; The pavilion is built in the stream, and the landscape is deep. You can see the trickling stream and hear the sound of gurgling spring.
2. Build a pavilion on the mountain
Generally, it is built on the ridge, top of the mountain, at the corner of the mountain or on the protruding cliff stone. This is a terrain that is easy to overlook, especially on the top of the mountain, on the ridge. It has a wider view range and more directions. It also provides a sitting and watching environment for tourists to rest during climbing. Building pavilions in mountainous areas not only enriches the overall outline of the mountain, but also makes the mountain more vibrant, and also provides a suitable scale for people to enjoy the mountain scenery.
The pavilion built on the mountain can be divided into the pavilion built on the top of the mountain, overlooking the panorama from a high place. This point can be used as the focus of the landscape perspective to control the panorama; When building a pavilion on the mountainside, it is better to choose a platform with open terrain, which is conducive to the guidance of view and line of sight, and also a place for stopping and resting on the way; The pavilion can also be built at the foot of the mountain, often beside the mountain slope, which is convenient for rest and route guidance.
3. Building a pavilion on the roof
Building pavilions on roofs can be divided into private ones and public ones. With the development of society, people are increasingly pursuing spiritual enjoyment on the basis of pursuing material life. Building roof gardens on the roof of their own homes has become a common phenomenon. Of course, among them, the garden pavilion has become an indispensable building facility.
4. To build a pavilion on flat ground
Generally, it is built at the intersection of the road, and sometimes it is surrounded by a piece of flowers, trees and rocks, forming a small private space. Others are built on the roadside or in the middle of the road before entering the main scenic spots in the natural scenic area, which is used to guide tourists. There are many kinds of pavilions built on the flat ground, including road pavilions, which are permanently located at the roadside or garden road intersection, and can prevent the sun and rain, and stop to rest; Building terraces and pavilions is one of the common techniques in imperial gardens, which can increase the majesty of pavilions; Building pavilions by heaping rocks can raise the elevation and line of sight of the site, and set off the environment with rocks to increase the natural atmosphere and reduce the monotony of the ground; The pavilion is built in the forest, under the dense forest shaded by giant trees. Although it is flat, the scene is deep and the forest is full of interest; Building pavilions in corners, using the gable and the corner of the wall to build pavilions, can break the rigid wall and make small spaces active.
In a word, the garden pavilion is a garden building for tourists to rest and view. According to Yuanye, the pavilion "has no definite form, from triangle, four corners, five corners, plum blossom, six corners, horizontal square, eight corners to the cross, it is made at will when it is appropriate, but the map can be simplified". In the specific landscape design, we should adjust measures to local conditions and choose the appropriate location to meet the needs of people to stop and rest, take a cool and shelter from rain, and look at the scenery during the sightseeing activities.
