Digitalization Empowers Innovation in Landscape Design Education for the Inheritance of Intangible Cultural Heritage Patterns and Regional Culture
Main Article Content
Abstract
With the rapid development of digital technology, the protection, translation, and educational application of intangible cultural heritage patterns have gained new technical support. This paper focuses on the digital translation and application of intangible cultural heritage patterns and regional cultural symbols in landscape design education. Using 3D scanning, parametric design, and virtual reality technology, abstract cultural patterns are transformed into concrete landscape design language. The study constructs a complete methodological system covering digital acquisition, pattern-gene decoding, parametric translation, immersive design review, and teaching-effect evaluation. A comparative teaching experiment is conducted to verify the validity of the model. The results show that the digitally empowered teaching model significantly improves students’ understanding of regional culture, design innovation ability, and spatial perception. The study provides theoretical support and a practical model for integrating regional cultural inheritance with landscape design education, and offers an operable path for transforming cultural symbols into spatial design elements through digital design technologies.
