Flower racks are also known as greenways, flower corridors, pergolas, and pergolas. It is a small facility consisting of columns and a grid shaped top that allows vine plants to climb and cover. In various types of gardens and green spaces, flower racks, with their lively shapes, colors, and plant expressions, jointly create a landscape space that integrates functional use and scenic viewing. Its main functions are as follows:
1. Organizational space
As a type of architectural sketch, the flower stand itself has a certain internal space and external extension space. Compared with other elements of garden space (such as architecture, plants, etc.), it has two characteristics, namely, it combines the duality of three-dimensional architectural space and four-dimensional plant space. Therefore, flower racks can not only independently complete the function of organizing space, but also form a composite garden space together with other landscaping elements.
2. Construct landscape
The general form of flower racks has a certain volume, such as dimensions such as width, height, length, and area. In terms of the form of planar composition and the expression of facade shape and color, there are independent or relatively independent design features, combined with the close combination with climbing plants, forming a highly distinctive landscape form that combines hard and soft landscapes. Therefore, whether it is the form of independent flower racks or the form of flower racks attached to buildings, both have a positive landscape effect.
3. Sunshade rest
Garden green space is a scenic land that provides outdoor viewing, sightseeing, and rest as the main activities for the public. The six major elements of landscaping, including mountains, water, architecture, roads, squares, and plants, only the traditional architectural elements belong to the category of indoor activities. In green spaces, the skeleton of the trellis provides a transparent resting space for visitors, while the climbing and covering of vine plants provide shade at the top. In the hot summer, the scene of tourists visiting, admiring, and resting under the flower gallery, and harmonizing with the natural or quasi natural environment, will fully utilize the functions of the garden green space.
