Abstract

Currently, as for the design of the space surrounding urban landscape, such factors as visual effect have been rarely taken into consideration, which provides citizens with poor visual experience. This article, proceeding from the landscape-borrowing theory in traditional Chinese gardening, places emphasis on the city-landscape interaction in Tianjin. With the core landscape in Tianjin as an example, the Grasshopper parameterization plug-in based on the Rhino platform is adopted, for the sake of visibility analysis. By means of the visual-accessibility analysis, the visual characteristics of the viewing object are shown based on the visual-domain analysis. On basis of the relationship between obstacles and lattice density, a method for visibility analysis of core landscape is proposed. The method aims to determine the integrity of the viewing object with the aid of visual-domain analysis, and then identify the top-quality urban space full of enjoyment.
