中國景觀設計職業準入門檻與核心專業技能

Professional Qualification for and Core Means of Landscape Architects in China

(李迪華,《景觀設計學》2023年第5期“主編寄語”)


建筑學、景觀設計學,以及城市與區域規劃在美國被譽為城鄉建設和生態保護領域的“三架馬車”[1]。這三個專業的邊界清晰,卻相輔相成,一起履行相關領域的專業職責。當代中國景觀學(包括園林、風景園林、景觀建筑學、景觀設計學、環境藝術設計等不同方向和名稱的探索)誕生已經有七十余年,卻并未像人們期待的那樣成為一個擁有市場開拓能力和社會責任清晰的應用型學科,反而一直被詬病“準入門檻低”“技術含量不高”等,社會認可不盡人意。這些問題長期困擾著中國景觀設計的行業、教育發展及其公眾認知[2]~[5]

景觀學有哪些專業準入門檻?景觀學的核心專業技能是什么?結合近二十年的持續探索,筆者嘗試給出一個答案。景觀學的專業準入門檻體現在以下幾個方面[1]~[4][6]

第一,設計師應當熟悉相關法律。自2015年起,景觀設計成為終身責任制的職業,《中華人民共和國環境保護法》(2015年1月1日起施行)、《中華人民共和國無障礙環境建設法》(2023年9月1日起施行)對此均作出了明確的要求。這兩項法案和《中華人民共和國民法典》等法規共同構成了設計師應當熟悉的法律要求。

第二,設計師應當掌握工程標準規范并做到更好,包括《建筑與市政工程無障礙通用規范》(GB 55019—2021,2022年4月1日起施行)及實際項目中遇到的細分領域的各項標準規范。

第三,設計師要擁有同理心和職業常識,追求“只有使用者想不到的,沒有設計師想不到的”的建成環境,愿意終身為具體的人付出,為弱者付出,為細節付出,為未來付出。

第四,設計師是具備專業勝任力的職業人士。法律和社會需求賦予設計師的各項職能——維護公共利益、呵護人的健康與生命安全、改善人和其他生命的生存福祉、維護地球生態系統健康和生態系統服務可持續供給,以及探索適應全球氣候變化的解決方案——都需要我們主動擔當。

第五,用最高的職業道德要求自己,職業倫理、行業自律是專業素養提升的基本保障。

景觀學的核心專業技能在于:其一,擁有統籌項目落地的專業能力。任何項目都是包括項目建議、評估策劃、規劃、設計、方案深化、施工圖設計、施工、監理、驗收、建成使用后評價、使用和維護等復雜環節的結構體系,景觀設計師是當仁不讓的統領項目全過程的最佳角色!其二,具備完成循證設計所需的設計知識、方法與價值觀念,以及做好交叉學科和跨學科實踐研究的能力。合格的景觀設計師能夠從跨學科與跨領域知識、場地、使用者、審美、社會責任和設計語言等方面構建設計的邏輯框架。其三,擁有通過設計助推城市居民觀念和生活方式轉型的能力,景觀設計師應當是通往未知和未來的創新實踐的引領者與倡導者。其四,具備傾聽、溝通、表達、協作和合作的能力,包括謙和的態度、清晰的語言和靈活多樣的交流與表達手段。其五,擁有與時俱進及終身學習、應用前沿技術和現學現用能力。設計是關乎“改變”的職業,鮮有設計師會一直做相似的項目或只在一地做項目,學習新知識和保持良好的工作習慣對于掌握層出不窮的新技術和滿足不斷變化的條件與場景需求至關重要。[5]~[8]

景觀設計師如果能夠推動建設“走路無需看路的城市”和“遇到石頭都能說三句話”的人和人之間彼此信任的和諧家園,那么景觀學的社會地位就一定不可替代。《無障礙環境建設法》的實施為設計師創造了這樣的機會[6]~[10],這要求我們做到:第一,統籌景觀工程落地的全過程,做到從方案建議到設計、施工和使用維護“一路向好”來取得滿意成果;第二,通過精心設計的細節帶來對人的無微不至的關懷和令人驚嘆的美;第三,轉變觀念,包括對人、對自然的態度,以及對自我的反思與重構,能夠適應多樣的環境和多變的社會需求;第四,推進跨學科、跨領域的研究與實踐,包括但遠不局限于建筑學、城市規劃、景觀設計學,以及法學、社會學、經濟學、老年學、信息技術、神經科學、精神健康、心理與行為科學、產品設計、材料科學、工程管理等學科間的合作;第五,將無障礙環境建設作為氣候適應性城市建設的途徑。

總而言之,設計關乎時代使命的思想表達。景觀學作為美麗中國事業和可持續發展落地和的支撐性學科,能否引領未來,取決于我們是否愿意從專業準入門檻、專業技術水平、專業教育和行業自律等方面不斷提高對自身要求。

 

Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban and Regional Planning are three major professions leading urban and rural development and ecological conservation in the United States[1]. Although having clear boundaries, they are complementary each other to fulfill professional responsibilities in related fields. Although contemporary Landscape Architecture has been introduced for more than seventy years in China, it has not become an applied profession with mature market and well-defined social responsibility as expected. Instead, landscape architects have often been criticized for being “easily qualified” and “low technic requirements,” resulting in unsatisfactory social recognition. Such issues have long-time hindered the development of Landscape Architecture profession and education in China, as well as its public perception[2]~[5].

How to be qualified for practicing Landscape Architecture? And what are the core means of this profession? Combining with nearly twenty years’ continuous exploration, the author attempts to answer these questions by proposing the suggestions for landscape architects’ professional qualification as the followings[1]~[4][6]:

First, landscape architects should have knowledge about relevant laws. Since 2015, Landscape Architecture has become a profession with lifelong responsibility, for which both The Environmental Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China (effective on January 1, 2015) and The Barrier-Free Environment Creation Law of the People’s Republic of China (effective on September 1, 2023) have raised explicit requirements. These two laws together with The Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China and other laws set the legal requirements for landscape architects.

Second, landscape architects should be familiar with relevant design and engineering norms, including General Codes for Accessibility of Buildings and Municipal Engineering Projects (GB 55019-2021, effective on April 1, 2022) and relevant standards in specific fields in dealing with actual projects.

Third, landscape architects should have empathy and professional common sense, create the built-environment by “thinking ahead of users’ needs,” taking the mission to devote themselves to persons, to the vulnerable, to the details, and to the future.

Fourth, landscape architects should have professional competency. Laws and the society demand landscape architects in various aspects—ensuring public interests, caring for user safety and health, improving well-beings of human and other creatures, maintaining ecosystem health and sustainability, provisioning of ecosystem services, and exploring adaptive solutions for global climate change—which all call for proactivity.

Fifth, landscape architects should hold rigid professional ethics and accept industry self-regulation, which guarantee the growth of the profession.

The professional core means, covering skills, techniques, and methods of landscape architects, include the following aspects. First, the competence to coordinate project implementation. Any project should be established within a “whole-process architecture,” ranging from proposal, assessment, planning, design, detail plans, construction design, construction, supervision, acceptance inspection, to post-occupation evaluation, and maintenance. Landscape architects are the best actor to manage the whole process! Second, landscape architects have the design knowledge, techniques, and value system to conduct evidence-based design, and the ability for cross- and inter-disciplinary research. Qualified landscape architects can construct a logical framework for design at least covering interdisciplinary knowledge, site, users, aesthetics, social responsibility, and design language. Third, landscape architects have the ability to transform citizens’ perceptions and lifestyles through design interventions, and should be leaders in advocating innovative practices towards the unknown and the future. Fourth, the professionals should have an open mind for communication, be good at expression, and embrace collaboration and cooperation, which require landscape architects have a humble attitude, explicit language, and flexible and diverse means of communication and expression. Fifth, landscape architects need to prepare for lifelong learning, be able to update their knowledge and apply advanced techniques with times, and can practice by immidiate learning. Landscape Architecture is a profession of changes. Few of them would do the same type of projects or practice only at a same city or region all the time, which makes it crucial to keep learning new knowledge and maintain good working habits to master infinite new technologies and meeting the demands of ever-changing conditions and scenarios.[5]~[8]

If landscape architects can truly promote the construction of harmonious cities where people live in safe, joyful environment and trust each other, we will gain an irreplaceable social recognition. Now the enactment of The Barrier-Free Environment Creation Law has offered such an opportunity[6]~[10]. First, we need to be the landscape project coordinator to pursue a satisfactory result by doing better step by step in the whole process; second, care for people and create breathtaking beauty through meticulous and detailed design; third, change mind and attitudes about people, nature, and embrace self-reflection, to adapt to diverse environmental conditions and changing social needs; fourth, promote cross- and inter-disciplinary research and practice, including but not limited to Architecture, Urban and Regional Planning, Landscape Architecture, Law, Sociology, Economics, Gerontology, Information Technology, Neuroscience, Mental Health, Psychological and Behavioral Sciences, Product Design, Material Sciences, and Engineering Management; and fifth, make barrier-free environmental construction an approach to realizing the development of climate-adaptive cities.

In sum, design is the expression of thoughts on the mission of the times. As a discipline that supports the construction of Beautiful China and sustainable development, whether Landscape Architecture can lead the future urban development depends on how we will continuously improve the standards of professional qualification, skills, techniques, methods, education, and self-regulation.
