Abstract
The status of water ecological environment matters to the well-being of all people. A water ecological management system for high-quality development is required to meet people’s ever-growing expectations for a better life. This relies on a comprehensive understanding of water ecosystems from multi-dimensional perspectives—processes of ecosystem services, history, culture, and art—at the basin scale. Moreover, differentiated strategies should be proposed to adjust to varied natural resource endowment, and socio-economic and cultural heritage in different regions. Only by centering on both ecology and culture through multiple processes (e.g., evolution of regional river basin ecosystem, water cultures, and landscape patterns) dynamically under proper scales (basin, region, river corridor, or river reach), can the water ecosystem function more effectively. In this issue, LA Frontiers hopes to propel interaction between multiple disciplines and industries among spatial planning, hydraulic engineering, and landscape design with research and practice, so as to ensure a safe, clean, healthy, and picturesque river–lake system for people’s well-being.

摘要
河岸帶是典型的生態交錯區,是聯系陸地和水生生態系統的重要界面,環境脅迫最易富集,河流自然調節也最為活躍,故而也是河流與景觀環境耦合的核心部位。然而,水壩的建設及因此形成的水庫的運行調節方式使得多數河段單一的河岸界面變成河/庫交替的界面,由此對流域水文及水環境,以及流域整體生態系統產生巨大影響。本文在探討河岸帶界面概念、界面生態特征的基礎上,提出了河/庫岸帶界面生態設計策略及基本技術框架,并以重慶市三峽庫區澎溪河流域為例,探討了河/庫岸帶界面生態系統修復設計實踐。該項目從綜合要素設計、結構設計、功能設計與過程設計4個方面,進行了適應水位變化的河/庫岸界面生態系統修復設計與實踐研究。生態績效分析結果表明,修復后的烏楊壩河/庫岸界面生態系統生境類型多樣性增加明顯,生物多樣性提升效果顯著,植物群落適應水位變化能力強,對面源污染具有明顯的凈化功能,實現了界面生態修復與濱水空間景觀建設和優化協同共生。該項目是河/庫岸帶界面生態系統修復設計和實踐的創新探索,其設計策略及模式可應用于受水位調節影響的河/庫岸帶生態系統修復。

Abstract
Riparian zone is a typical ecotone that connects terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. At the same time, environmental stress magnifies here and the natural regulation of rivers is extremely active. In other words, the most dynamic and vibrant interactions between rivers and landscapes occur in riparian zones. However, the construction of dams and the operation of reservoirs have turned many riparian zones into river/reservoir alternation interfaces, influenced the shaping of hydrological and water environment, and the basin ecosystem as well. By introducing the definition and ecological characteristics of river/reservoir interface, this paper proposes the strategies and technical framework for the ecological design of river/reservoir interface. By studying the ecosystem restoration project of river/reservoir interface of Pengxi River in Three Gorges Reservoir Area of Chongqing, which emphasizes the comprehensive element design, structural design, functional design, and process design, this paper aims to provide a reference for related research and practice on river ecosystem restoration. The results of ecological performance analysis showed that the restored ecosystem of the Wuyangba river/reservoir interface has an obvious increase in habitat type diversity and biodiversity, a strong ability of plant communities to adapt to seasonal water level fluctuation, and an improvement in purifying non-point source pollution. The project demonstrates the coordination and symbiosis of interface ecological restoration and waterfront landscape construction and optimization. The project offers an innovative effort in exploring ecosystem restoration design and practice of river/reservoir interfaces. The design strategies and framework can be a reference for other ecosystem restoration cases that are affected by water level fluctuation in river/reservoir interfaces.

摘要
本研究梳理了北大景觀和土人設計團隊20余年來在生態安全格局理論指導下的生態基礎設施規劃設計項目,探索了生態安全格局理論在各生態類型區和特殊生境中,以及各種生態過程分析方法在實踐中的應用及拓展。由于本研究涉及的近百個實踐項目所處生態類型區不同,因此在將生態安全格局理論應用于生態問題時存在一定的地域性差異。然而,類似生境內的項目需要應對的重點生態問題存在共性。目前,該理論已從最初的面向生物棲息地保護的“試驗性”理論,發展到包含所有重要生態過程及其子過程的龐大理論體系。本文重點關注生態安全格局理論在區域和城市尺度上的實踐,試圖梳理:1)當該理論應用至更廣泛的生態類型區后,生態基礎設施規劃如何能夠針對性地解決地方性生態問題,以及該理論在不同生態類型區中應用情況的異同;2)針對典型生境的規劃,利用該理論來協調人地關系、尋求協同發展的方法;3)該理論在空間廣度上的拓展對理解生態過程、建立生態安全子格局,以及更新分析技術的影響。本研究通過實證分析表明,不論是就方法論還是實踐應用而言,生態安全格局理論均為我國生態文明建設做出了貢獻,為國土空間規劃提供了寶貴的技術支持和理論依據。

Abstract
This paper reviews the ecological infrastructure planning practices by LA PKU and Turenscape over the past two decades, discussing the application and development of the ecological security pattern theory in different types of ecoregions and typical habitats, and that of ecological process analysis methods in practice. Nearly 100 studied projects employed this theory to address different local ecological problems. But similarities could be found regarding the key ecological issues among similar habitats. Far from mainly addressing habitat protection issues at its early stage, the ESP theory by now has expanded its application to all important ecological processes and sub-processes. This paper focuses on related application at urban and regional scales, attempting to summarize 1) approaches to solving local ecological problems via ecological infrastructure planning in a wider geographic range, and differences concerning the application modes in varied ecoregions; 2) ways to harmonize man–land relations and to achieve synergic development in typical habitats; and 3) influence brought by the wider spatial range to the application on the understanding of ecological processes, the establishment of sub-security-patterns, and the renewal of analysis techniques. The empirical analysis in this study suggests that both the methodology and application of the ESP theory contribute to China’s ecological civilization construction, providing valuable technical support and theoretical basis for territorial spatial planning.

Abstract
On May 29, the 2021 John Cobb Common Good Award presented online was awarded to Yu Kongjian, professor of College of Architecture and Landscape of Peking University. This award is one of the highest honors in the field of Ecological Philosophy offered throughout the world. In the award ceremony, Dr. Jay McDaniel gave a speech to summarize Yu’s ideas and practices; and other scholars, including John Boswell Cobb Jr. also commented on Yu’s works. This article is a record and supplement of the speech and these comments. The speakers showed that Yu’s works reflect an approach they call “constructive postmodernism,” which combines poetic modern ways of living with wisdom from the past, pointing toward a greener and more habitable future. In light of the current ecological crisis, the speakers proposed that Yu’s Landscape Architecture is indeed “an art of survival.” In the spirit of constructive postmodernism, Yu combines traditional knowledge with a forward-looking attitude, helping to design a more promising future for humanity and the Earth. This essay explores ways that the idea of ecological civilization can “come down to earth” through shifts in attitude towards planning, designing, and aesthetic appreciation, showing how Yu’s thoughts and explorations will help China establish its leading role in the world’s transformation toward global ecological civilization.

重塑洛杉磯河:連接公共開放空間的51英里
The Los Angeles River Reimagined: 51 Miles of Connected Public Open Space
作者:杰西卡?M?漢森,馬克?漢娜 Jessica M. HENSON, Mark HANNA
摘要
因其特殊的混凝土河道,洛杉磯河可能是世界上最具辨識度的河流之一。隨著洛杉磯地區的城市化逐漸推進,這條河流為降低洪水發生風險而被渠化,在一些人眼中,這是建筑工程史上的豐功偉績,而在另一些人眼中則是一場生態災難。洛杉磯河流經17個城市,其中不乏洛杉磯縣境內環境最惡劣、公園最稀缺、服務水平最差的一些社區。在河道的通行權范圍內有超過930多公頃的公共用地可以用來重塑洛杉磯河,這將會影響河道周圍1.6km范圍內100萬人的生活。
洛杉磯河總體規劃由洛杉磯縣主導,計劃于2021年秋季完成。該規劃提議建設長約51英里(約82km)相互連接的公共開放空間,其中包括一系列多效益項目,共響應了9個總體目標,從防洪韌性到房屋經濟實用性,再到生態功能、藝術、教育和文化等。在這一面向未來25年的基于數據的規劃中,進行了一項針對全流域的研究,致力于記錄和理解與環境和社會問題相關的水質、水源地保護與洪水風險的話題。規劃還提出了兼具傳統與創新策略的“工具包”,配置了棲息地橋梁、干旱河谷側渠等在內的65種設計工具,旨在提升生態系統服務、形成一個欣欣向榮的城市居所和相互連接的濱河公園網絡。

Abstract
The concrete channel of the Los Angeles (LA) River is probably one of the most recognizable rivers in the world. Channelized to manage the risk of flooding as the Los Angeles region urbanized, the river today is an architectural and engineering feat in the eyes of some people but an ecological disaster to others. The river flows adjacent to 17 cities and among some of the most environmentally burdened, park poor, and underserved communities of LA County. With over 2,300 acres of largely publicly owned land within the river right-of-way, a reimagined LA River can impact the lives of the one million people that live within a mile of the river.
The LA River Master Plan, led by Los Angeles County and scheduled to be completed in fall 2021, proposes 51 miles of connected public open space with multi-benefit projects supporting nine goals ranging from flood resilience to housing affordability, to ecological function, and to arts, education, and culture. The data-based plan for the next 25 years includes a watershed-wide research effort to document and understand water quality, water conservation, and flood risk in relation to environmental and social issues. The plan includes traditional and innovative strategies within a “kit of parts,” interventions that include over 65 components ranging from habitat bridges to dry arroyo side channels demonstrating opportunities for enhancing ecosystem services to create a thriving urban habitat and connected network of parks along the river.

摘要
中國的城市建設高強度開發占用水系空間,增大了水系污染負荷,導致以黑臭水體為典型的流域水污染加劇,水生態環境遭受嚴重破壞。本文以廣東省深圳市茅洲河(寶安片區)水環境綜合治理工程為例,在充分研判場地現狀、全面開展水環境要素摸排的基礎上,梳理了流域內入河污水量大、生態基流不足、河底淤積嚴重、岸線硬化率高等關鍵問題;項目創新性地提出了基于“源-網-廠-河”系統理念的生態修復技術框架,建立了水環境綜合治理、河流底質棲息環境優化、多目標生態補水及濱水生態修復的全要素治理技術體系,開展了源頭海綿城市建設、管網雨污分流、底泥清淤及資源化利用、生態補水等系列工程。此外,項目進一步推進全域法制化、精細化、智慧化創新管理模式建設。項目實施后,河流水質明顯提升,流域內黑臭水體悉數消除,生態系統逐步改善。本項目先行探索的“源-網-廠-河”系統理念可為中國流域水生態修復實踐提供有益參考。

Abstract
In China's urban construction, intensive development increasingly encroaches the city’s water space and exacerbates water pollution problems including black-odor water bodies, seriously damaging the water ecosystem. This article demonstrates the Maozhou River (Baoan Section) Water Environmental Remediation project in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, which is a latest practice case of representativeness in comprehensive on-site investigation and problem-finding of all kinds of water environmental elements. Identifying main problems including the large amount of sewage discharging into the river, insufficient ecological base flow, severe river siltation, and high hardening rate of the waterfront, the project innovatively proposed an ecological restoration technology framework based on the “source–network–plant–river” concept, developed a full-element-treatment technique roadmap for water environment management, improvement of riverbed habitat, multi-objective eco-water recharge, and waterfront ecological restoration, and carried out a series of measures such as sponge city construction for pollution source control, rainwater-sewage diversion system, sediment dredging and resource utilization, and eco-water recharge. In addition, the project further promotes the legislation, refined management, and intelligent basin governance mode. The ecological restoration has significantly improved the water quality of the river, eliminated all black-odor water bodies in the basin, and enhanced the ecosystem resilience. The “source–network–plant–river” concept demonstrated in this project can provide a reference for the practice of water ecological restoration in China's river basins.

Abstract
The Yellow River Basin is one of the greatest and most important ecological barrier and economic belt in China. When the Yellow River Basin is seen as an ecosystem in whole, the floodplains in the lower reaches are critical to the basin’s health and biodiversity. However, due to the extreme complexity of the natural environment of the floodplains, current flood control policies, long-term agricultural activities, and extensive rural construction and production dikes, the river ecosystem has suffered from considerable damage and a serious decline of ecosystem services. In the planning and design project of the Zhengzhou Yellow River Floodplain Park, the characteristics of the lower, intermediate, and higher floodplains have been carefully identified, site-specific ecological restoration measures for each floodplain type were implemented, highlighting the authenticity and natural qualities and improving the overall ecosystem services. In addition, a slow traffic system and innovative industries along the Yellow River are introduced to enable high-quality cultural perception and recreational experience of the improved ecosystem services, promote green production and lifestyle. These measures help make the Yellow River a river that truly benefit the locals. In the context of ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River, as a national agenda, the ecological restoration planning strategies proposed in this article provides a reference for the development of ecological management and green economy in other sections of the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

摘要
在整個五大湖地區,港口城市往往位于河口區域。河口曾經將河流沉積物分揀、塑形,并運輸到湖中,如今被用作工業航道,需要定期進行機械疏浚維護工作。以往的沉積物管理實踐要么將近岸的河流沉積物封存在封閉式處理設施(CDF)中,要么釋放于更深的開放水域。這兩種處理方式都從近岸系統中清除沉積物,使得其無法在岸線保護、棲息地營造、波能削減和填沙護灘等方面發揮潛在用途。綜合上述兩種封閉式(如封存于CDF)和低成本開放式(釋放于開放水域)的處理方式,新型河口濕地得出了處理和運用沉積物的策略。本文描述了由五大湖保護基金支持的“健康的港口未來”項目所進行的一項嘗試。通過協作設計和研究,本項目使用了系列工具集來生成、推測、建模、可視化和測試多個不同社會、生態和水文條件下的濕地形態。該項目可以被形象地稱作“月牙”,它提出了一種半圓形、部分開放的單元式濕地設計,以應對河口環境的復雜性。在整個設計-研究過程中,項目試圖接納不確定性、評估風險并探索相應結果,以重新定義公眾對濕地營造和修復的期望,并重新構想五大湖沿岸的新面貌。

Abstract
Throughout the Great Lakes, port cities are often located on the rivermouth and where rivermouths once sorted, shaped, and moved the riverine sediment into the lake. Their current use as industrial navigation channels requires cyclical mechanical maintenance dredging. Past sediment management practices have either placed the riverine sediment nearshore in confined disposal facilities (CDFs) or out in deeper open water. Both practices remove the sediment from the nearshore system, preventing its potential use in coastal protection, habitat creation, wave attenuation, and sediment nourishment. However, novel rivermouth wetlands can draw from both strategies of containment (as in a CDF) and cost-efficiency of non-containment (open lake disposal) to allow for the processing and use of sediment. This article will describe one such attempt, conducted by the Great Lakes Protection Fund-supported Healthy Port Futures project. Through a collaborative design-research process, Healthy Port Futures used a range of tools to generate, speculate, model, visualize, and test wetland forms under a range of social, ecological, and hydrological conditions. This project, understood colloquially as “the Crescent,” proposed a semi-circular, partially open-cell wetland design as a response to the complexity of rivermouth conditions. Throughout this design-research process, the project sought to acknowledge uncertainty, assess risk, and explore a range of outcomes in order to redefine the public expectations around wetland creation and restoration, and reimagine innovation along the Great Lakes coast.

摘要
本文所述的筆者作品源于兩個論題:一是場地和環境相互依存;二是理解“為什么”和“怎么做”是景觀設計的基礎和必要條件,并且以蘇格蘭裔美籍景觀設計師伊恩?麥克哈格和蘇格蘭城市規劃師帕特里克?蓋迪斯的項目及研究成果為創作基礎。盡管兩人提出理論的年代相隔近半個世紀,但由于同樣看重地域性知識對于當地設計和規劃實踐的重要作用,他們的實踐主題和方法也秉持相似的準則。筆者近期的一項研究對比了對麥克哈格的研究成果頗有影響的兩條河流—克萊德河和特拉華河。受這項研究的啟發,本文展現了表達增量變化、疊加以及時間推移的橫斷面模型及相關繪圖實踐。文章首先討論了地形圖及其在美國、意大利和英國蘇格蘭的河流流域研究中的應用;隨后,簡要回顧了麥克哈格和蓋迪斯對區域規劃理論和實踐的貢獻;進而介紹了以橫斷面為基礎的實踐項目對于其他學科領域觀察和分析景觀現象的實用意義,相關結論亦成為了筆者近期一次基于拓印和數字繪圖技術的展覽的理論基礎。文章最后重申了實地考察對景觀設計和其他基于環境的創造性作品的重要意義。

Abstract
This work flows from two propositions: sites and settings are interdependent, and understanding why and how is fundamental and inexhaustible for landscape architecture. It builds on the work of Scottish–American landscape architect Ian McHarg and Scottish town planner Patrick Geddes. Although separated in time by nearly half a century, their shared belief in the role of regional knowledge for local design and planning led to parallels in their canon relative to subject matter and approach. Prompted by a recent comparative study of two rivers influential to McHarg’s work—the Clyde and the Delaware—the essay reflects on transect modeling and related drawing practice that engage incremental change, accumulation, and time. It begins with a discussion of relief maps and their application to river basin research in the United States, Italy, and Scotland. This is followed by a brief retrospective on the contributions of McHarg and Geddes to regional planning theory and practice. The interdisciplinary usefulness of transect-based practice for observing and analyzing landscape phenomena is then presented, and provides context for a recent exhibition by the author, which explored both analog and digital drawing techniques. The essay concludes by reasserting the importance of field study to landscape architecture and other works of environmental imagination.

“盧尼地帶”研究:突破河流定義的“水分關鍵帶”
Engaging Luni: A Critical Zone of Wetness rather than a River
作者:普拉庫?波塔普 Prakul POTTAPU
摘要
在地理視角下,盧尼河是一條穿越印度塔爾沙漠的季節性河流,此時的沙漠即為一片毫無生機或極度缺水的區域,需要通過管道和運河向其輸送水源。但若將這一場地理解為處于云層和含水層之間的“水分關鍵帶”,“盧尼”便可被定義為一處擁有豐富多彩文化的開敞空間,這里孕育著制鹽、陶藝、音樂、木版印刷和印染等多種受季風影響的傳統技藝。2018年,由賓夕法尼亞大學斯圖爾特-韋茨曼設計學院阿努拉達?馬圖爾教授組織并主持的設計課程通過模擬圖像、壓印和蒙太奇等方式,利用后一種范式來研究“盧尼”,以構建另一種“場地”。有別于從“河流”的視角來理解盧尼河,此設計方法所探究的是另一種視角下的“盧尼地帶”—無處不在的水分。設計方案“共鳴樂器”即為此課程的成果之一,方案摒棄了一般地圖中將場地局限為地理表面的傳統,運用繪畫、攝影、版畫和蒙太奇等方法,將場地打造成為一處“水分關鍵帶”。針對“盧尼地帶”的具體研究應用這些方法建造了“水分關鍵帶”中的“樂器”裝置。在這里,協商溝通、靈活變通和容許差異的設計方式比刻板固定、一刀切、嚴格劃定和精準定義的模式更加適用。

Abstract
When the ground is understood as a geographic surface, Luni is articulated to be a seasonal river that flows through the Thar Desert in India. In this paradigm, the desert is perceived as empty or as a place of scarcity to which water must be brought in pipes and canals. However, when situated within a “critical zone of wetness” that extends from clouds to aquifers, Luni is a culturally vibrant open terrain where various traditional practices of habitation—salt production, pottery, music, block printing, and dyeing—are acutely tuned to the monsoon. The design studio organized and instructed by Professor Anuradha Mathur in 2018 at the Stuart Weitzman School of Design, University of Pennsylvania engages the latter through analog prints, imprints, and montages to construct another ground. This approach pursues Luni as ubiquitous wetness, rather than understanding the Luni-as-a-river differently. The design project “Resonating Instruments” is an outcome of this studio. Instead of working with maps that construct the ground as a geographic surface, the project uses drawing, photography, printmaking, and montage as techniques of negotiation to construct the ground as a “critical zone of wetness.” These techniques were used to engage Luni and to construct the instruments in a “critical zone of wetness,” where negotiation, flexibility, fluidity, and gradients are favored over rigidity, separation, and strict delineations and definitions.
