Abstract

Pop Art, which emerged in the 1950s, has had a subtle yet profound impact on landscape design. By the 1990s, a distinct Pop Landscape style began to appear. Over time, many believed that Pop Landscape was gradually fading away. However, evidence suggests that since the beginning of the 21st century, Pop Landscape has been evolving into a more integrated Post Pop era. This paper reviews and introduces the origins of Pop Art, the trends of Pop Landscape, and the characteristics of Post-Pop Landscape. It also explores the direction of landscape development in the Post Pop era through discussions of various controversies surrounding Pop Landscape and analyses of practical case studies. The aim is to draw the attention of landscape designers and the general public to Post-Pop Landscape, encouraging it to continuously bring novelty to people and add a vibrant hue to the landscape industry.
