In Z+T Studio, landscape design is meant to refine nature based on a comprehension of artistic principle in nature. It extracts and reintegrates landscape elements based on the individual character of each site.
Refined nature, respect original eco-system: Respecting the natural eco-system is a living Chinese philosophy. Existing ecology needs to be closely studied before any transformation is considered. By applying modern eco-techniques, the site will be optimally developed. High density development or a contaminated environment needs to be regenerated in a healthy direction.
Restored eco-system, has specific site spirit: All sites are different despite the presence of modern industrialized development. Any innovation should be inspired by the specific elements (weather, wind, light and shade) of site. The recovered site will be identified by the created spatial organization and design.
Reformed site, recall the memory of site: Industrialization create obstacles between people and their environment. Non-designed or overdesigned spaces are full of constructed, human-made places. We look through to the essence of each site while also exploring the relationship between complexity and simplicity within nature. At all time we seek to reconnect people with water, sunlight, and plants through our use of refined landscape elements.
We see landscape design as:
- a connector of nature and community well-being.
- a vessel for our vision of sustainability and resilience.
- a catalyst and engine to encompass and enrich diversity, self-esteem and self-identity.
- a distilling process towards the essence and the most basic elements of nature.
景观设计是艺术，是源于对大自然的热爱和理解，基于场地需求，对自然元素提炼、抽象和重组的艺术。
我们倡导源于自然的设计，遵循自然的原始生态原则：可持续发展的生态设计是后工业时代景观的必经之路。源于自然的设计，遵循的是生态原则的本质。通过对现代生态技术的应用，使新开发的场地得到最佳的生态发展；高密度开发或者已经遭到破坏的自然景观，得到恢复和健康开发。
我们倡导基于场地的设计，寻求独特的场所精神：对场地人文、地理、生态和项目需求的全面和深入的分析，是项目独创性的源泉。寻找场地最为重要的基本元素将其提炼、升华和抽象，赋予场地灵魂；通过创造性的手法营造有强烈的可辨认性的现代景观场所。
我们倡导对自然元素的提炼、抽象和重组,创造人与自然的再联系：人对自然的认知是本能的。可感知的自然、便于记忆的场所，以及能辨认的城市景观给人们归属感。现代工业文明制造了人与自然之间的障碍。“五色令人目盲，五音令人耳聋”，越来越多的人工建成的居住和生活场所或者缺乏设计，或者被强加太多的设计，隔离了人对阳光、空气、水以及自然生命的直接感知。
我们探索自然的复杂性与统一性，简单和复杂之间的转换和平衡，单纯景观元素在外界条件改变下的无穷变化和可能性，以及复杂要素之间单纯的逻辑关系。遵循自然的原始生态原则和场地精神，通过对自然元素的提炼、抽象和重组，重塑人与自然的联系。
张唐景观认为：
-景观设计是提升人们幸福感的一种途径。
-景观设计传递我们对生活的感悟和对美好生活的向往。
-关注生活本身：多样化的空间、场地和设施提高生活丰富度。
-简约设计：把握对阳光、气象、水、植物等自然元素的直观审美。
-尺度宜人，用材精简，工艺合理，提供持久的审美感受。
