Application of Eco-Aesthetics in Field Sketching for Environmental Design Practice
School of Fine Arts and Design, Kunming University, Kunming, China
Eco-aesthetics emphasizes the harmonious coexistence, dynamic balance, and sustainable development between humans and nature, providing an important philosophical foundation for environmental design. Against the backdrop of the intensifying ecological crisis in modern society, field sketching—as an artistic practice—can effectively enhance designers’ ecological awareness and creativity. This study explores, under the guidance of eco-aesthetic principles, the specific applications of field sketching in unifying regional culture and ecological characteristics, natural painting practice, the design of ecological soft furnishings, the integration of traditional architectural forms, and the ecological expression of landscape painting. The results show that environmental design sketching is not only a design tool but also a practical carrier of eco-aesthetics. It helps integrate inspiration from nature into the design process and promotes green and sustainable design practices. At the same time, sketching courses cultivate designers’ interdisciplinary thinking ability, enriching environmental design with cultural connotation and ecological inspiration. This research provides theoretical support and practical direction for the future application of eco-aesthetic concepts in environmental design.
