A study on the Characteristics of courtyard design in Suzhou Garden

Suzhou classical gardens, renowned for their compact yet expansive, staggered, and fluid spaces, achieve rich cultural expression through the integration of four key elements: mountains, water, architecture, and plants. The study highlights how these gardens blend reality with imagination, poetry, and painting to narrate scenes from literati life, encapsulating historical memories and spiritual essence. This approach provides a wealth of design ideas for contemporary architectural and landscape design, demonstrating the enduring relevance of Suzhou garden aesthetics.
