The development of human civilization has
never been possible without water. The
Indus, the Yellow River, and the
Tigris-Euphrates River all nourish the
thriving ancient culture. At the same time,
almost all human civilizations will have the
memory of the Great Flood, and the
flooding of rivers has a significant impact
on human life. With urbanization, more land
and population are no longer engaged in
agricultural production, and their
dependence on water has decreased. But
with the improvement of spiritual needs,
people who live by the water yearn for a
high-quality waterfront activity experience.
Therefore, it is essential to reconstruct the
relationship between urban residents and
seasonal floods. Seasonal floods brought
disasters to people during the agricultural
civilization period but also left fertile soil.
As for today's cities, due to the large amount
of hard pavement covering the earth, the
construction of various ground facilities,
and the changes in human activities, the
floods have brought almost nothing but
troubles and losses. People need to reflect
and re-examine how to talk to nature. Face
up to and accept this inevitable natural
phenomenon, recognize the limitations of
human beings, take water as a critical
element of urban space design, and use the
flexible landscape and architectural design
to play different coordination roles during
regular times and flood periods to rebuild
people and the coast. The benign interaction
of water space. Let structures and buildings
become part of nature, receiving and
guiding floods. This paper discusses the
coordination of water and human life
through landscape and architecture in areas
prone to seasonal rain and flood disasters.
The waterfront space has unique natural
landscape elements as an area connecting
the water system and the city. As an
essential open space in the urban
environment, it should be a popular and
high-quality urban public space. However,
blunt artificial revetment, decentralized
landscape, insufficient accessibility, etc.,
may make the waterfront a negative space.
Turning the waterfront into a positive public
space integrating flood control,
environmental protection, and leisure and
entertainment is what this article going to
discuss about.
