Abstract

A skyline is the overall or partial view of a city’s structures and its natural environment against the sky. It serves as an important kind of landscapes of the city. The organization and design of urban skylines would be beneficial to enrich the resource of urban landscape, to coordinate the interaction between the urban and its natural environment, and to strengthen the guiding and control effects of urban design. The organization and design of urban skyline should be based on full understanding its natural environment, and it should also follow the hierarchy principle, harmony principle, principle of combination of dynamic and static, and individuality principle. Nanan City was the study objective in this paper. To study the elements of its skylines, we should consider the important roles of its water body and mountain body in the skyline organizational design. In visual depth direction, a skyline can be divided into foreground, middle ground, and background. The targets and ways for organization and design of the skylines were proposed, fully considering each layer’s function and characteristics, and requirement of coordinated development between skylines and natural environment.
