To sum up, these buildings show the following characteristics in the process of landscape construction:

North line Yuzhang station

Yuzhangtai on the north line is designed and built for large-scale water sports. In the process of planning, design and construction, there have always been doubts about its size and effect, worried that the building would damage the original scenery belt of the north line. Therefore, in the design, priority should be given not only to meet the needs of activities, but also to coordinate with the overall landscape. Therefore, the form of ethnic architecture with appropriate scale should be adopted. The main building adopts the roof of shizixie mountain, and the mass stands set on both sides are respectively the same as the main building The main building is 25m high.

Elephant Lake

Xianghu Lake plays the role of water storage and flood discharge in the south of the city, so the original topography is mainly the large water surface and fish pond surrounded by levees. The planning and design is to build the landscape on the basis of taking into account its original water conservancy function. Through a large number of on-site survey, the builders basically control the outline of the terrain and terrain of each scenic spot in the overall planning. According to the construction needs and functional requirements of scenic spots, the landscape architecture should grasp the proportion, volume, form and other aspects. As far as possible, the individual buildings and ancient buildings in Xianghu Lake are closely combined with the environment and adapted to local conditions; they are combined with the basic topography, topography and landform, and the overall layout is in accordance with the situation. They make full use of the topography and environment to properly express themselves and integrate them into the natural environment. During the construction process, according to the planning and design, each scenic spot or landscape belt is backfilled one by one, or lake mud pile island is taken, gradually forming the basic land use framework of phase I scenic spots, such as North line, east line, west line, short dike, Huzhong Island, long dike, Guihua square, lotus pool, southwest mountain, etc.

Lake Island

The shape of the island in the center of the lake is like "kidney" shape, and it is higher in the north than in the south, with an area of 2 hm2. In the layout of huanyige group, according to the topography of the island, the main building of huanyige stands out on the North highland, laibaoxuan, Hanmo Lin, Mingxiang hall, etc. according to the plane curve and elevation of the island, they are respectively arranged in the East, South and west to form a courtyard enclosure, and the North-South connecting slope in the northeast corner is provided with a square heavy wall The eaves of "SONGFENG Pavilion" and the main pavilion are arranged in several terraces. The open wooden corridor connects laibaoxuan, Hanmo forest, Mingxiang hall and SONGFENG pavilion from the East, South and West, forming a enclosure. In addition, the small living buildings and kitchens are located in the quiet corner of the northwest slope. The whole building group has its own main and secondary, and the plane layout and high and low seats follow its nature, without deliberately filling and digging. In order to save money for backfilling, the natural terrain of the southwest mountain is higher in the north and lower in the South after backfilling. According to geomantic theory, the two mountains of "Qinglong" and "Baihu" are built in the East and West. The monomer of the Wanshougong complex and its surrounding square are constructed under the condition of overall grasping the slope and existing location. From south to north, the central axis is the palace gate, stage, Zhenjun hall, Yuhuang hall and yuce Pavilion. Because of the change of terrain, the Taiming of each building is higher in the South and lower in the north. The Notre Dame hall and Doumu hall on both sides of the central axis are facing the central axis from the East and West, respectively. According to the existing width between the two mountains, the Taiming is 6m away, which is higher in the South and lower in the north. Therefore, the peripheral corridor is set beside each single building Platform level and turn, the roof high and low, scattered and circuitous, enrich the plane layout and space level of the whole building complex. Due to the limitation of terrain and the consideration of landscape, all the management houses and operation houses in the scenic area are set up by using the height difference of terrain. They are built according to the situation, saving land and cost, and not damaging the natural scenery. They are extremely applicable and beautiful.

In terms of quantity and scale, the antique buildings in Xianghu scenic spot should start from the needs of scenic spot construction and meeting the functional requirements as far as possible. It is better to be small than big. The original intention of the construction of the scenic spot is to create a natural, wild and harmonious scenic spot in the city, to provide a free and relaxed leisure place for busy and tired citizens and tourists, to firmly grasp the desire of people, especially urban residents, to yearn for nature, get close to nature and return to nature, and to emphasize taking natural landscape as the keynote, plant landscaping as the main means, and architecture as the ornament, They are in a subordinate position. In phase I of Xianghu Lake, the total area of various management houses is 1.5hm2, including Wanshougong, huanyige, zhangjiangxiaodu, ouxiangxie and yuzhangtai, while the total area of phase I is 140hm2, accounting for 1:100; in phase II, there are fishing center, Miaoji villa, wanshouta and a small number of management houses, accounting for 0.8hm2, while the total area of phase II is 200hm2, less than 1:200. As a Taoist complex, Wanshou Palace is not small in size, but it is also hidden by the surrounding mountains. The Huanyi Pavilion complex stands on the island, with green shade on all sides, and only the roof of the main Pavilion is slightly visible. Although the other Zhangjiang Xiaodu is a cruise ship wharf, its length width ratio is only a small opening compared with the eastern landscape belt, and its highest point is basically controlled in the eastern line because it is near the water In addition to its small size, the lotus Pavilion is also in the space between the inner and outer lakes, and it is covered by willows on the bank, which is very inconspicuous. The ancient buildings in Xianghu scenic spot try to follow this natural law and landscaping law, that is, "in front of nature, the relative volume and absolute scale of buildings are more than the same."
