Abstract
The theory of landscape pattern language originated from Zev Naveh’s total human ecosystem integrating nature and society, Ian McHarg’s socio-ecological thoughts of ‘Design with Nature’, and John Lyle’s spatial order and deep form in ‘Design for human ecosystem’ which have become an ecological wisdom connecting science and practice. It is pointed out that landscape pattern language constructed a system of spatial logic supported by ‘Scale-Process-Order’ through taking nested structure as the overall feature of spatial pattern, considering ecological process as the key force to shape spatial pattern and regarding ecological order as the guarantee to maintain spatial stability. The language of landscape becomes the expression of space order and can be used as a tool for spatial reasoning research based on ecological design and cultural adaptation theory. It also expounds the contributions of C. Alexander’s pattern language and A. Spirn’s landscape language to landscape pattern language.
