I suspect "aesthetic" isn't suitable in the definition.
Putting it in for checking.

O ~
1.(力求精美完善; 講求; 重視) be particular about; pay (great) attention to; devote particular care to; stress; strive for:
講究吃穿 be too fastidious about one's food or clothing;
講究實際效果 stress practical results;
講究效益 pay close attention to results;
講究衛生 pay attention to hygiene;
現在城裡人很講究穿而且穿得很時髦。 Nowadays, everyone in the city was very clothes-conscious and fashionable.

2.(精美) exquisite; tasteful; costly; sumptuous; elegant:
講究的服裝 elegant dress;
講究的早餐 fine breakfast

3.(值得注意或推敲的內容) careful study:
教學法大有講究。 Teaching methods need careful study.

I don't think it means "aesthetic" as in these examples:
- There are practical as well as aesthetic reasons for planting trees.
- making aesthetic improvements to the building
(this is the usual meaning of "aesthetic", I think)
