The Influence and Significance of Modern American Historical Gardens

I think we can understand the characteristics of modern American gardens from two angles. The first is liberal humanism prevailing in the United States, and the second is formed from the perspective of historical and economic development.

From the perspective of freedom and human rights:

American gardens, like other countries, are part of social culture and closely related to American social life. Therefore, the United States, as the most typical immigrant country in the world, all races and nationalities have brought their own culture after moving to the United States, so the form and style of gardens also reflect the characteristics of countries or regions. Cultural blending will inevitably lead to confrontation, conflict and final compromise, so asymmetric composition is produced from "compromise" American gardens, mainly developed from natural gardens in Western Europe. Western gardens belong to the three largest gardens in the world. Modern gardens in the United States have developed through private estates, public cemeteries and Little Square. From 65438 to 0857, Frederick Law Olmsted and Fox designed new york Central Park, which initiated a new era of American gardens. American liberalism is the fusion point of multiculturalism, which also affects the development of American gardens. The landscape is characterized by undulating lines and vivid imitation of nature. /kloc-American gardens in the 0 th and 9 th centuries are more about solving moral and social problems. Later, a large number of immigrants from the United States poured in, which made the landscape design direction combine reality and reflect classical beauty, aiming at alleviating social disorder and congestion. The first concept of western human rights is political rights. In their early years, they did not recognize economic, social and cultural rights. It is in politics, culture and society that they demand equality. Gradually, they developed relatively independent characteristics in space, forming interrelated small partitions to achieve balance. On the basis of small division, in order to simplify and alleviate the contradictions and conflicts between various cultures, it is necessary to abandon and simplify some things of various national cultures and integrate into the multi-ethnic and multicultural society of the United States in a better and more concise way. Therefore, modern American gardens have evolved simple and free geometric features in design.

2. From the perspective of history and economic development:

The United States unified the whole country after the civil war, and then both the United States and Germany ushered in rapid development because of the second industrial revolution. By the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century, the United States was already the largest economic and industrial power at that time. After World War II, Europe declined due to two world wars, countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America became independent, and the colonial system collapsed. The United States, because there was no war at home, basically lost nothing, but because of the stimulation of war demand, it quickly came out of the Great Depression. The United States was the largest creditor and the country with the largest gold reserves at that time in the early post-World War II period. At that time, due to the arrival of European scientists, the Manhattan Project and the third scientific and technological revolution, American industry had a new growth. This also laid the foundation for various new materials and technologies that appeared later. Concrete, for example, has unprecedented excellent plasticity, so that human beings can finally complete the free-form structural form.

The United States dominated the new post-war international order-Yalta system. Politically, the United Nations replaced the League of Nations, and economically, the World Bank and the General Agreement on Tariffs (later became today's WTO) were established. The United States replaced Britain as the world's number one.

Economic growth is most directly reflected in the high quality and high demand of people's daily life. After meeting the basic needs of life, they began to conduct in-depth research and exploration of art and culture, so the ground in the characteristics of modern American gardens appeared.
