J. Appleton adopted the evaluation method of psychology to give new content to the traditionallandscape aesthetics, thus breaking through the traditional landscape evaluation method, and wasinfluenced by the American philosopher and aesthete John Smith in the early 20th century. Inspiredby Dewey’s aesthetic ideas and a deeper understanding of animal behavior based on the evolutionarytheory of Charles Robert Darwin and the biology of people such as Konrad Lorenz. Appleton’s book, TheExperience of Landscape, proposes habitat theory and prospect-refuge theory. Habitat theory describesthe intuitive psychological responses we feel in environments that we believe meet our biological needsand manage our exposure to threats, while foreground shelter theory defines the spatial, visual, andformal elements that make up this ideal environment. Among them, Hildebrand cites Wright’s Textileblock-style as an ideal example of this lookout-shelter model. The prospect-refuge theory provides animportant enlightenment to future designers, that is, while protecting the natural environment, we mustalso pay attention to aesthetics, so as to construct a high-quality ecological environment conducive tohuman survival and development, so as to obtain the aesthetic recognition of the public.
