Abstract Urbanization contributes significantly to climate challenges, while architectural efforts often emphasize abstract eco-friendly measures despite their tangible impact on the environment. As artificial structures increasingly dominate urban spaces, a genuine respect for nature remains lacking. This study examines the concept of Architectural Landscape within architectural planning and reconsiders its value and potential. As part of green infrastructure, Architectural Landscape enhances both urban resilience and building performance. However, current standards in Korea are outdated and do not align with modern urban needs, limiting their effectiveness. To address this gap, landscaping standards and regulations in Japan, Singapore, France, and Germany are analyzed to identify key strategies that support resilience in high-density urban environments. Common elements found across these countries include expandability, three-dimensionality, and ecological sustainability. These characteristics encourage adaptable urban greenery and integration into various architectural environments. Based on this analysis, the study identifies several limitations in Korea’s current approach. Existing standards show weak connectivity and provide insufficient green area ratios, hindering expandability. Criteria for implementing three-dimensional greening are vague, and there is a lack of ecological assessments to prevent superficial, non-sustainable landscaping. The findings highlight the essential role of Architectural Landscape in improving urban environments and resilience, reinforcing its importance in building a sustainable urban future.
