On the Application of Digitized Virtual Reality Technology in the Teaching of Landscape Architecture Design

Literature Review

The Landscape Architecture Design course is an important basic design course for undergraduates majoring in landscape architecture in my country (Akinci & Akinci, 2018). The teaching goal of the course is to train students to grasp the basic concepts and design thinking of landscape design (Al Ruheili & Al Hajri, 2021). The course is offered from the second semester of the sophomore year to the first semester of the senior year (Brassel et al., 2024). According to the needs of different grades and majors, the teaching and research group arranges one to two design assignments per semester, and each design assignment is completed within eight to ten weeks (Carbonell-Carrera et al., 2020). The teaching content of the Landscape Architecture Design course includes the principles of landscape architecture design, various types of garden green space, and urban public space design (George et al., 2022). Teachers will arrange different design topics to carry out key training for students, such as functional layout, space design, terrain design, plant design, drawing expression, etc. (Hill et al., 2019). Teachers teach theory, task explanation, case analysis, field investigation methods, and design guidance in class (Hsu & Ou,2022). Students design plans during after class and finally make a formal design plan, expressing the design plan in the form of complete drawings (Kerr & Lawson, 2020). Space design is the core content of the Landscape Architecture Design course; it pervades the course, to help students establish a spatial thinking mode, improve space design ability, and train students to master the scale, proportion, atmosphere, layout and design of spatial relationships (Mahrous et al., 2024).
