景觀的“變”與“不變”
The “Change” and the “Constancy” of Landscapes
作者:羅濤 LUO Tao
摘要
科學辨識與主動介入景觀的演變是景觀設計學領域的重要話題。“變”是客觀的、絕對的,“不變”則是主觀的、相對的。因此,景觀的演變是絕對的,但人類對這一表象的衡量則是相對的。基于這一認識,我們提出具備時間維度的連續性與穩定性,和空間維度的穩定差異化表征的“持久性景觀”,指出理解這一概念的關鍵在于對自然生態系統的穩定與人文社會脈絡的融合的觀察。然而,隨著城鎮化進程的加速推進,城鄉特色喪失、環境污染、生態破碎、文化斷裂等問題相繼產生,如何重新認識人地關系,并科學制定可持續發展策略,成為需要景觀設計學界重點研討的話題。希望藉由本期的探索,推動景觀設計師適應時代需求,賦予景觀新的內容與形式,創造更加健康、詩意,且具有文化底蘊與空間特色的高品質人居環境。

Abstract
Scientifically recognizing and wisely intervening the evolution of landscape is an important topic in Landscape Architecture, since evolution (change) is absolute. For human, landscape changes, however, can be measured in a relative sense. Upon such an understanding, the concept “persistent landscape” highlights the landscape’s continuity and stability over time, as well as the stable variety of physical environment. The key to understand this concept lies in landscape architects’ observation of not only the stability of natural ecosystems but also the harmony of cultural-social contexts. However, the rapid urbanization has caused many pressing problems such as the loss of characteristics in urban and rural area, environmental pollution, ecological fragmentation, and cultural fracture, which calls for landscape architects who can re-recognize the man-land relationship and formulate scientific strategies for sustainable development. In this issue, LA Frontiers hopes to offer landscape architects with insights to meet contemporary needs by embracing new landscape forms and implications, so as to create healthier and more poetic-quality living environments with cultural and spatial characteristics.

摘要
城市粗放式開發促使城鎮特色丟失,并促使人居環境愈發趨向“千城一面”。為此,本研究以位于中國不同氣候區的縣級城市為研究對象,以其居住街區空間形態為切入點,借助ArcGIS 10.2、SPSS 22與Origin 2021軟件對60個代表性居住街區的空間形態以12個形態學指標進行主成分分析與相關性分析,借此判別、描述并解讀了地域特征的時空差異。研究表明:1)60個樣本街區的建設年代與中國住房制度改革的歷史變遷存在一定協同性;2)不同氣候區的縣級城市居住街區空間形態存在差異,可借助街區形狀、開發強度、街區規模、平面秩序和聚集程度5個表征因子進行描述;3)同一氣候區的縣級城市居住街區空間形態在不同時期存在差異,主要表現在建筑密度、街區面積和綠地率這三個形態學指標上,而不同氣候區的縣級城市居住街區空間形態在同一時期也存在顯著差異,主要表現在綠地率、建筑角度紊亂度和建筑距離紊亂度這三個形態學指標上;4)縣級城市居住街區空間形態地域特征的時空差異與住房政策制度、氣候條件、居住建筑布局方式、城市自身發展進程等因素有關,為未來的政策、規劃、建設等提供了尊重地域差異的參考依據。

Abstract
The extensive growth in most Chinese cities at the expense of local identities of living settlement. Taking the 60 residential neighborhoods in county-level cities of varied climate zones in China as examples, this paper explores their spatial–temporal changes and differences in morphology, based on 12 morphological indicators through Principal Component Analysis and correlation analysis by ArcGIS 10.2, SPSS 22, and Origin 2021. The results show that 1) the construction dating of the 60 sample neighborhoods conforms to the development of China’s housing reform; 2) the spatial morphology of residential neighborhoods in county-level cities of different climate zones could be charaterized by 5 factors, i.e. neighborhood shape, development intensity, neighborhood size, layout order, and aggregation degree; 3) the disparities in the spatial morphology of residential neighborhoods in the same climate zone in different period of time are mostly indicated with 3 morphological indicators, i.e. Building Density, Neighborhood Area, and Green Space Ratio; rather, the morphology of residential neighborhoods built during a same period of time varies largely between climate zones, mainly indicated with Green Space Ratio, Degree of Building Angle Disorder, and Degree of Building Distance Disorder; and 4) China’s housing policies, climatic conditions, residential building patterns, and the urbanization of each city together influence the spatial–temporal changes in the spatial morphology, offering references to policy making, planning, and construction to protect the regional characteristics in the future.

摘要
在美國,規劃師、設計師、環保主義者、熱心市民和政府官員對保護和管理擁有獨特生態環境的小型自然區域充滿熱忱。相關研究表明,土地利用類型與視覺質量評價指標之間聯系密切;在同一個連續區間中,相較于人造元素居多的用地類型,受訪者更偏好自然元素更多的用地類型。本研究評估并記錄了在美國密歇根州德拉蒙德島麥克斯頓平原矮化植被群叢中植物群落的視覺指標情況。大尺度的有關視覺質量的制圖項目通常以城市區域、林地、水體、耕地、牧場和草原為評估對象,矮化植被這類小型卻獨特且稀有的景觀類型較少被關注。本研究采用了兩個版本的預測模型來評估視覺指標。基于對60張現場照片的研究,麥克斯頓平原矮化植被群叢的視覺指標評估結果顯示,研究區域在視覺感官上擁有中等水平的吸引力和視覺一致性:由方程(1)計算出的結果在52~58分之間,由方程(2)計算出的結果在47~53分之間。相較于許多其他的景觀和土地利用類型,研究區域的環境具有中等水平的視覺偏好。若得分的浮動在平均值的±2.5分區間之外,那么與現狀相比,可預測到顯著的(p≤0.05)視覺質量變化。視覺指標系統為矮化植被群叢自身及其周邊區域的空間管理提供了一個定量評估框架。研究表明,建筑物、入侵林地、農業用地、鋪裝等景觀元素對視覺質量均具有顯著的負面影響(超過±2.5分范圍)。

Abstract
Planners, designers, environmentalists, concerned citizens, and government officials are interested in the management and preservation of small rare and unique ecological environments. Scholars have discovered that land-use and visual quality metrics often co-vary together and that various land-uses reside on a continuum scale from high respondent preference (biospheric land-uses) to low respondent preference (noospheric land-uses). This study assessed and documented the visual metrics for the Maxton Plains alvar/alvar grassland plant communities found on Drummond Island, Michigan, USA. These unique, small, and rare landscape types are not usually studied by large-scale visual quality mapping efforts which assess urban areas, woodlands, water, farmland, pastureland, and prairies. The visual metrics were assessed using two versions of predictive visual quality assessment models. Results from 60 field photographs reveal that the visual metrics assessment for the Maxton Plains alvars/alvar grasslands have a moderate visual preference, consistent visual quality scores: ranging from the low to middle 50s with the first equation and high 40s to low 50s with the second equation. Compared to many landscape and land-uses, these environments have scores that indicate a moderate visual preference and appreciation. Scores beyond ± 2.5 of the mean would indicate a significant (p ≤ 0.05) perceivable drift from the existing conditions. The visual metrics provide a numerical framework for managing the spatial contents within and adjacent to the alvars. Landscape features such as buildings, invasive woodlands, agriculture, and pavement would all decrease the visual quality beyond the ± 2.5 score range.

Abstract
Suzhou City enjoys its regional water networks as a driver to promote the evolution of urban-rural landscapes, where water space is an important part of urban-rural public spaces that defines spatial characteristics, supports public health, and offers recreational opportunities. Cultural ecosystem services (CES) ranging from aesthetics, recreation, education to culture are the core public demands and a key aspect in shaping the identity and vitality of water spaces. However, along with the rapid urbanization, the historical city-water spatial pattern, social connections and relations, and regional cultural spirit have gradually faded away. Such problems can be addressed through inventory renewals and cultural revivals of water spaces based on CES enhancement. This research introduces the Importance–Performance Analysis to study CES of water spaces by examining representative water spaces of Suzhou, in order to examine the correlations between CES types and landscape elements/factors. By collecting the residents’ assessment data on the importance and performance of a series of landscape elements/factors, this research measures and evaluates the demand–supply relations of the studied water spaces, conducts a strategic zoning to identify the landscape elements/factors to maintain, of over-supply, needs no priority or to improve, respectively. Finally, the paper proposes planning strategies and construction guidance for enhancing water space CES in Suzhou in the aspects of ecological management of water network, highlighting of water town image, and planning and scheming of local projects.

Abstract
In response to increasing attention from international academia on Chinese gardens, this article advances China’s landscape studies by exploring international research trends on Chinese gardens during the 21st century. It mainly adopts a diachronic perspective to examine the journal Studies in the History of Gardens & Designed Landscapes—a leading journal, and Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection (Trustees for Harvard University)—international academia’s leading institution on landscape studies. Using a bibliometric approach, it first carries out a statistical analysis of the rules and trends of development to explore the distribution patterns of Chinese gardens. Based on this analysis, it uses time series analysis to study the relationships of related academic discourses and contexts. The study reveals that Chinese garden studies led by Chinese scholars has attracted increasing attention from international academia and has involved growing numbers of scholars from various disciplines. Consequently, it has not only shaped much of the output from China and Britain, but is also driving a paradigm shift away from studying Chinese classical gardens to modern designed landscapes, drawing upon a monolithic approach to investigate the pluralistic, and from focusing on Chinese national interaction to transnational interaction.

倫理導向下的看護實踐和看護人——美國北卡羅來納州公共景觀看護案例研究
Ethics-Based Stewardship Practices and the Stewards—Case Studies on Public Landscape Stewardship From North Carolina, USA
作者:劉亞東 LIU Yadong
摘要
公共景觀的持久性是實現社區韌性和可持續性的重要途徑,但其在中國景觀設計行業的“前期”規劃設計和“后期”運營管理均未得重視。本文引入西方視角下的“看護”概念,通過研究美國北卡羅來納州的三個公共景觀看護案例,將當代公共景觀看護實踐勾勒為以景觀師對場地的長期責任和主動關心為主要驅動力的場地景觀可持續經營,并得出看護概念的內核在于其倫理范疇—景觀師(即看護人)對景觀和土地的眷戀、責任和關愛,以及在面對復雜多變的社會生態系統時保持謙遜、敏銳和熱忱。案例研究指出,為適應社會經濟形勢的變化而制定和落實新的著眼于場地長期利益的總體規劃設計方案是公共景觀看護成果的典型表現,并總結出景觀師實現公共景觀看護實踐的一系列工作原則和方法。最后,基于與案例有關的討論,本文認為看護的倫理和實踐對正步入存量發展階段的中國城市將產生社會、經濟和環境等方面的積極影響,并提出了公共景觀看護應用于中國景觀設計行業的建議。

Abstract
The persistence of public landscapes is a critical approach to community resilience and sustainability. But in China’s landscape architectural field, it is neglected in both planning and design, and post-occupancy operations and maintenance. With the case studies of three public landscape sites in North Carolina, the United States this article introduces the concept of stewardship, and outlines the contemporary public landscape stewardship practice as management efforts predominantly driven by the landscape architect’s long-term duty and proactive care to create a sustainable landscape for the site. This article emphasizes that the essence of stewarding public landscapes lies in the ethics—the attachments to and the responsibilities and care of the land and the landscape; and modesty, discernment, and enthusiasm when facing the ever-changing socio-ecological systems—and the outcome of public landscape stewardship typically takes the form of developing and implementing new and future-oriented master plans for the sites. This article also summarizes a set of site-based principles and approaches to public landscape stewardship. Finally, based on the discussion about the case studies, this study points out the practical implications of public landscape stewardship for Chinese cities which are progressively entering into an era of inventory development. Recommendations for its application to the Chinese landscape architectural profession are further addressed.

遺址生境管理:空間規劃中考古遺址管理的跨學科方法
Managing Archaeotopes:
An Interdisciplinary Approach to Archaeological Sites Management in Spatial Planning
作者:霍爾格?貝姆,劉江 Holger BEHM, LIU Jiang
摘要
在空間規劃中,以考古遺址為代表的多維景觀歷史發展常被忽略。本文通過提出“遺址生境管理”的新概念,將考古學研究與空間規劃聯系起來。該概念主張通過跨學科方法來幫助構建考古遺址的“遺址生境”,從而將場地中的考古學、美學和生態價值相互融合。作者認為,考古遺址在時間維度,尤其是歷史變遷和重要事件中留下的痕跡(即景觀史),以及遺址景觀的動態變化應被視為空間規劃的必要信息。因此,本文指出綜合多學科知識的必要性,包括能夠反映景觀發展和動態變化的學科,如地質學、古生物學、考古學和歷史地理學;能夠提供地方特征信息的相關學科,如生物學和專名學;以及與人類需求相關的學科,如社會學和心理學。最后,從5個方面提出了與“遺址生境管理”相關的當前和未來議題,并強調了認識和實現跨學科協作對于成功規劃所發揮的關鍵作用。

Abstract
The multifaceted historical development of a landscape typically represented by archaeological sites are often overlooked in spatial planning. In this article, Managing Archaeotopes was proposed as a new concept connecting archaeological research with spatial planning. The concept advocates that an interdisciplinary approach could help to build the “Archaeotopes” of archaeological sites, which brings together their archaeological, aesthetic, and ecological values in the landscape. The authors argue that the temporal dimension, i.e. landscape history, especially in terms of the remaining relics of historic development and events in the landscape today, and the dynamics of landscape changes should be treated as necessary information for spatial planning. Thus, knowledge should be acquired from relevant disciplines reflecting the timeline and dynamics of a landscape, such as Geology, Paleontology, Archaeology, Historical Geography, as well as other relevant sources and disciplines providing local characteristic information such as Biology and Onomastics. Knowledge from Sociology and Psychology would be needed when considering human requirement. At last, topics in the present and future were proposed in five aspects to facilitate Managing Archaeotopes, and emphasized the key role of the acceptance and realization of interdisciplinary work for a successful planning in the future.

物聯網視角下的建成景觀設計項目運行信息管理:從空缺到途徑
IoT-Based Operational Information Management for Built Landscape Projects:From Vacancy to Approaches
作者:周懷宇,劉海龍 ZHOU Huaiyu, LIU Hailong
摘要
伴隨著第四次工業革命下新一代數字技術的快速更迭,數字景觀與智慧景觀設計已逐步成為設計領域研究的前沿和熱點。物聯網作為新興的數字工具,擁有被用于建成景觀項目的運行信息管理的巨大潛力。本文以建成景觀設計項目的運行階段為研究對象,以空缺分析及研究述評的方式探討物聯網(IoT)技術輔助項目運行信息管理的途徑。本文首先提出運行信息管理的主要目標為開展景觀績效評估和精細化后期管理,進而指出兩大數字工具的缺失:生態數據監測工具缺乏和動態景觀信息建模工具缺失。本文而后結合已有案例,重點探討IoT技術輔助生態數據在線監測及動態信息建模的應用路徑與相關注意事項。本文同時強調,景觀設計師和項目管理者不僅要關注IoT技術的研究動向,更重要的是要明確學科本身的實踐需求,以避免落入“為了應用而應用”的陷阱;而面向學科研究的未來時,本文意在揭示行業技術升級將引發需求升級的發展過程,這一升級也將帶來景觀設計師定位和培養模式的轉變,以及景觀設計和研究工具的革新。

Abstract
With the rapid advance of digital technology under the fourth industrial revolution, digital landscape and smart landscape architecture have gradually become the research hot spots in design professions. The Internet of Things (IoT), as an emerging digital tool, has shown great potential to assist operational information modeling for built landscape projects. This article, focusing on the post-operation for built projects, deliberates IoT-based approaches to operational information management (OIM)through vacancy analysis and literature review. It first argues that OIM’s main goals are performance evaluation and refined management, and points out the absence of effective monitoring tools for ecological performance and dynamic modeling tools for data storage, analysis, and visualization. Combing with existing cases, it also demonstrates and summarizes the methods for IoT-based ecological performance monitoring and dynamic information modeling, as well as the principles for related application. In addition, landscape architects and project managers should pay attention to emerging research trends of IoT technology, and more importantly, emphasize authentic application scenarios to avoid blind practice. As for the future of Landscape Architecture, this article attempts to reveal the profession development trajectory that technological upgrade leads to demand upgrade, which will also bring about changes in landscape architects’ contemporary mission and the methods for talent training, and about the innovations of landscape design and research tools.

始于原型設計與試驗—瑞典哥德堡禧年公園的景觀設計
Prototyping a Park—Landscape Design of Jubileumsparken in Gothenburg, Sweden
作者:馬丁?埃里克 Martin ALLIK
摘要
瑞典哥德堡禧年公園的設計采用“雙軌并行”模式—其永久性園區將于2021年底竣工并開放;自2014年起,一系列臨時公園和設施將隨著若干公眾工作坊的開展陸續建成。場地的逐步演化給了生態系統適應的時間,也使公眾有機會直接參與建設和種植活動,同時間接表達自己對公園的關注點以及期望,幫助優化永久性公園的最終設計。針對場地原本以荒草為主的脆弱濱水生態系統以及社會文化遺產,在公眾的配合下,一座1:1比例的景觀實驗室—“水岸園”得以建立,用于測試各類新材料、工作方法,以及種植和維護技術,以便應用于永久性“嬉學園”的建設。該設計過程強調觀設計師與場地維護人員的緊密合作,以期在長遠的未來實現可持續發展目標、創造美學價值,亦強調了景觀設計師持續參與公園維護以及數字工具應用的重要性。該項目還采用巖土工程技術建造了一片緩坡濕地,并創建本土與引進物種混合的植物群落,促進其自然演替以應對氣候變化,為生物多樣性的長期提升創造先決條件。通過這樣的原型設計和測試,廣大公眾、維護人員和專家都參與到項目中,從城市生態系統、荒野景觀和美學角度促成了一場有關景觀持久性的對話。

Abstract
The design of Jubileumsparken in Gothenburg, Sweden runs on two parallel tracks—a permanent park will be completed and opened in late 2021, and before that a series of temporary parks and installations had been set up during several public workshops since 2014. The gradual evolution of the site allows ecosystems to adapt and invites the public to leave their imprint on the park through not only directly building and planting, but even more importantly, indirectly voicing their interests and desires which impacts the final design of the permanent park. With a focus on the existing fragile ruderal and coastal ecosystems, as well as the socio-cultural heritage of the site, a 1:1 scale landscape laboratory—the Shoreline Park—was built up together with the public. It allowed for testing new materials, work methods, planting and maintenance techniques that would then be used in the permanent Play & Learn Park. The design process also highlights the need for a closer collaboration between landscape architects and maintenance staff to achieve the sustainability goals and the aesthetic value of the park over a longer period, as well as the importance of landscape architects’ continuous involvement in park maintenance and the use of digital tools. The project also adopted geotechnic infrastructure to create a gently sloping wetland and proposed a mixed planting plan of indigenous species, natural succession and exotics to address climate change, and to create preconditions for high biodiversity even in the long term. Through such prototyping and testing, the wider public, maintenance staff, and experts got engaged in this project, which initiated a dialogue about the persistence in landscape between urban ecosystems, wildscapes, and aesthetics.

暗物質:密蘇里州圣路易斯墓地景觀演變研究
Dark Matter: Research on an Evolving Funerary Landscape in St. Louis, Missouri
作者:約翰?惠特克 John WHITAKER
摘要
畢業設計《暗物質》研究了遺體的生態價值及其對促進城市墓地生物多樣性的潛在作用。該項目采用地上腐熟加速技術(即“自然有機還原”),將人體組織和骨骼轉化為富含養分的類土壤。遺體隨著時間的推移逐漸腐爛、與生態環境融合,對逝者的吊唁和緬懷就此永恒。能量和物質在轉化的過程中轉移至鄰近的其他生命,整個自然系統和生態生產力都成為了紀念逝者的載體。于是,墓地景觀從靜態的紀念場所分散為一個不斷演變的紀念體系,使生者參與其中。
在這個疫情橫行、物種大規模滅絕、氣候危機不斷加深的時代,致力于環境倫理的殯葬儀式將個體的消逝與全球生態破壞和環境衰退格局聯系起來。人類在不同時間尺度上對逝者的哀思也不盡相同,這意味著需要一種新型紀念景觀,將人類生命置于更長久的自然周期中—出生、死亡、腐爛并蛻變。當紀念程序、生態保護和集體行動的場所合而為一時,紀念儀式、管理和行為模式將發生難以預料的變化。《暗物質》提出了一個具有高生物多樣性的公共景觀網絡,為肉體的消亡賦予助推生態系統中生命再生的意義。

Abstract
Dark Matter, a research by design thesis, investigates the ecological value of human remains, and their latent agency for advancing biological diversity in urban cemeteries. The project proposes an expedited aboveground decomposition process (Natural Organic Reduction) to convert human tissue and bone into nutrient-rich soil-like materials. Following decomposition, human remains merge with non-human ecologies over time to offer mourners an extended period of ceremony and remembrance. Transference of energy and matter to adjacent non-human life is emphasized in the transition, and a memorial’s embodiment in physical space is expanded to include natural systems and ecological productivity. The funerary landscape is thus decentralized from a static site of memorial to an evolving memorial system that invites engagement with the living.
In an age of pandemic, mass extinction, and deepening climate crises, a commitment to an environmentally ethical funeral practice connects the loss of the individual to global patterns of ecological ruin and environmental decline. These layered scales of grief are experienced at divergent timescales, suggesting the need for a new typology of memorial landscape that positions the human life within larger natural cycles of birth, death, decay, and metamorphosis. Rituals of commemoration, management, and activism would be alchemized to unexpected outcomes when the program of memorial, ecological preserve, and a theater for collective actions are merged. Dark Matter proposes a network of biodiverse public landscapes where bodily death events meaningfully contribute to ecological systems of propulsive regenerative life.

虛位以待的“景觀提白”:發掘塑造大淹地的持久性因素
“Landscape Prompts” Awaiting Attendance:Uncovering the Persistent Factors That Shape the Drowned Lands
作者:陳嘉誠 CHEN Jiacheng
摘要
美國紐約州的黑土農業區素以出產口味獨特的洋蔥聞名遐邇,而這得益于土壤中80%以上的有機質。但近年,當地僵化的經濟模式制約了地區發展,同時本地農業生產也在日趨頻繁的洪災影響下愈發脆弱。當“盛產農作物”逐漸成為這一地區的標簽時,人們便忽視了形成黑土農業區景觀背后的持久性因素。而它的別名“大淹地”(the Drowned Lands)或許能更好地表征這片土地與水之間的糾葛關系。
本文立足于美國的鄉村現狀與歷史沉積,將水文地質的動態與人的需求視為景觀連續性與穩定性的兩大因素,并重新勾畫出當地景觀自末次冰盛期以來的圖景。設計方案為黑土農業區開辟了一條兼具生態功能與游逸價值的復合路徑。沿途的一系列“景觀提白”講述了鮮為人知的地質學知識與史前文化。通過設計干預,鄉村景觀的其他可能性獲得了檢驗,農業用地的意義變得觸手可及,更為和諧的人地關系得以修復。

Abstract
The Black Dirt Region in the State of New York has been well-known for the unique taste of its onions, which is attributed to the organic matter that weighs over 80% in the soil. In recent years, however, the rigid economic pattern restrains the development of this area. In the meantime, local agricultural production is more and more vulnerable to flooding. When this region is labeled as “highly productive of crops,” the persistent factors that have been shaping the black-dirt landscape are omitted. The other name of the place, “the Drowned Lands,” may better capture its entangled relationship with water.
In this article, hydrogeological dynamics and human desire are regarded as the factors that sustain landscape continuity and stability. Based on the research on historical sedimentation in the Drowned Lands, this article attempts to delineate a local scenario of covert landscape evolution since the Last Glacial Maximum. The proposal initiates a composite pathway of ecological functions and touristic values in the agricultural region. Within a series of “landscape prompts,” a lesser-known tale of local geology and prehistoric culture is told. Through design interventions, alternative possibilities of rural landscape are tested, embedded meaning of the agricultural land becomes tangible, and a more adaptive human–land relationship is restored.
