Letter from the Guest Editor
客座编辑致读者的信
Dear Readers,
尊敬的读者:
Landscape architecture has evolved beyond the creation of delightful outdoor spaces and planting design. Through large-scale sustainable master plans to public amenities and intimate private gardens, landscape design influences our built environment today on many levels to inspire, activate and elevate the open space experience, and contribute to the health-empowering needs of our aging population. It is a field where interdisciplinary teams of landscape architects, planners, architects, engineers, horticulturalists, and others work to actively challenge the norms and predict the needs of the users and environment, so that our landscape stays continuously relevant.
时至今日，景观建设的发展已经不再局限于创造赏心悦目 的户外空间和植物景观设计。通过各类大型公共设施及私人花 园的可持续总体规划，景观设计已然在多个层面上对我们的建 设环境带来深远的影响，激发我们创造和提升开敞空间为人们 带来的体验，甚至为满足我们正走向老龄化的人口在各种医疗 健康方面的需求而做出贡献。这是一门独特的领域，能够让包 括景观设计师、规划师、建筑师、工程师及植物设计师等在内 的跨学科团队积极推陈出新，预测使用者和环境的需求，让我 们的景观持续受到欢迎。
DP Green was established in 2010 as part of an overall business plan to provide clients with the option of integrated multidisciplinary design service. Believing in the notion that architecture and landscape are inextricably linked, DP Green’s landscape designs work towards producing a deep-seated sense of place by responding to a site’s genius loci. To bring each project to successful fruition, a collaborative process-driven approach to design is engaged within DP Green and with the client, end-users and consultants to come up with the most appropriate proposals.
作为我们整体业务计划的一部份，我们在 2 0 1 0 年成立 了 D P G r e e n ，以期为客户提供多样设计服务。我们相信建 筑和景观领域之间存在着千丝万缕的关系，因此 D P G r e e n 在进行景观设计时，都致力于将场地特色融入其中，以创造出 一个洋溢着浓烈地方气息的环境。为确保所有项目都能顺利开 花结果，D P G r e e n 采用了一种协作式、以过程为导向的设计 方法，结合内部人员与客户、终端使用者和顾问的力量，创造 出最合适的计划案。
Sustainability awareness is an aspect that strongly drives DP Green’s design approach. Sustainable landscapes provide new ways of dealing with energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions, increase biodiversity, enhance scarce resources, and promote healthier living. The benefits resulting from such proposals can create significant value-add for both stakeholders and the community. DP Green is enthusiastic about bringing this awareness to every project, large and small, regardless of typology. This issue of Design in Print focuses on landscape design projects to provide some insight to the approach of DP Green. We hope you will enjoy reading about them.
