Elements in Natural and Build Environment
Constructed Landscape
The term "built environment" refers to aspects of our surroundings that are built by humans, that is, distinguished from the natural environment. It includes not only buildings, but the human-made spaces between buildings, such as parks, and the infrastructure that supports human activity such as transportation networks, utilities networks, flood defences, telecommunications and so on.
The term "constructed landscape" refers to a world we live in – it clarifies the relationship between landscape and nature. Where many people assume that beautiful landscape consist of nature, it could be argued that things we perceive as nature nowadays are man-made and are results of cultivation.To create a memorable landscape in contemporary environment, we need to accept and contemplate on the ready-made sceneries and seek for meanings attached to such constructed landscape.
