Mutual Translation between 'Painting and Landscape' – A Case Study on the Digital Preliminary Restoration of 'Garden Image' in the Engraving Illustrations of Ancient Books in the Ming and Qing Dynasties

摘要

The digital visual operation of computer can serve as a "design medium" and "analytical tool". In this study, the "garden image prototype" in ancient Chinese prints in the Ming and Qing Dynasties are transformed the into the visualization construction of computer 3D model. Moreover, the engraving illustrations of ancient Chinese books also spread to the world with the derivative function of "garden atlas". As the "sketch" of landscape architecture, garden image can still accurately convey the design intention in landscape schema language, spatial scale diagram and design methodology. The preliminary restoration of digital landscape in this paper does not emphasize precision, or one-to-one restoration, but a kind of fuzzy and experimental virtual digital model exploration from the aspects of space situation, garden elements and construction methods.
