The Application of Chinese Traditional Color in Modern Landscape Design

Abstract

The five traditional Chinese colours are widely used in ancient Chinese architecture, cultural relics and clothing, carrying the deep national culture and spirit. It is a unique cultural symbol. Based on the application of the five colours in traditional Chinese architecture and the needs of modern landscape design, this study analyses its cultural significance, visual expression and related pattern symbols, and explores its potential for innovative application in modern landscape design. Applying research methods such as K-Means clustering, literature study and case study, the innovative application methods of the five colours and the five-colour patterns in modern landscape design are proposed:1. Colour focusing: using the visual impact of the five colours, highlighting the red and yellow colours as the visual focal points in the design, conveying the cultural characteristics of the colours.2. Diversified design: re-combining the five colours with the corresponding traditional patterns to create a diversified design effect. 3. Combination of inheritance and innovation: recombine the five colours with the typical modelling elements of the ancient architecture and combine them with the modern landscape architecture to achieve the fusion of tradition and modernity. Promote the sustainable development of the five colours in the modern landscape and provide a reference for the expression of traditional colour symbols in a new region for the modern landscape design in China.
