Exploring the connection between landscape art and interior and exterior space design using gray correlation analysis

In-depth research on landscape art interrelating with interior and exterior space design is still relatively limited. In this paper, we use gray correlation analysis to investigate the connection between landscape art and indoor and outdoor space design to better understand and apply the potential of landscape art in design. In this paper, we investigate the application of landscape art in indoor and outdoor space design, including the Use of landscape gardening techniques and landscape formation types. The study constructed an evaluation index system, including 16 indicators for road landscape, site landscape, green landscape and other types of landscapes, which were screened and weighted according to systematicity, operability, participation, dynamism and the combination of qualitative and quantitative indicators. We used AHP to determine the indicators’ weights and gray correlation analysis to calculate comprehensive scores for different design solutions. The best indoor and outdoor design solutions were determined by comparing and ranking the evaluations of various design solutions through case studies and statistical analysis. The method facilitates the scientific assessment and selection of indoor and outdoor design solutions to enhance the quality of design and the comfort of the human environment. © 2023 Shijiao Han and Rui Zhao, published by Sciendo.
