A Parametric Design Method for Landscape Garden Layout Based on Clustering Algorithm

Landscape design involves many elements, such as plants, water, terrain, roads, and buildings. Each element has its specific design requirements and aesthetic standards. The combination and layout of these elements need to consider multiple factors such as spatial relations, functional requirements, ecological balance, and cultural background, which makes the design process very complex. In order to quantify the landscape layout and scientifically layout the landscape architecture, a parametric design method of landscape architecture layout based on a clustering algorithm was proposed. First, the composition of the landscape is analyzed based on the traditional research results, and the required computer software foundation is discussed. Then, in the corresponding software environment, considering that the impact factors of landscape layout elements include numerical and nonnumerical types, [Formula: see text]-prototype clustering algorithm is used for processing. Specifically, the Euclidean distance of the [Formula: see text]-means clustering model is used to measure the numerical impact factors, while the Hamming distance of the[Formula: see text] model is used to measure the nonnumerical impact factors, so as to achieve effective clustering of mixed impact factors and determine the layout parameters accordingly. At the same time, the rule matrix method is used to establish the design rules. Finally, based on the above research results, the parametric layout of landscape architecture is realized through a series of processes such as design research, planning and layout, construction and form, construction and management. The experimental results demonstrate that this method effectively extracts layout parameters, of landscape architecture and obtains more clear and logical design rules, thus improving the final design effect.
