景观类型——面向当代风景园林学的一种分类法

当代风景园林项目中所蕴含的设计哲学和形式来源缺乏一种系统的分类与讨论。通过提出11种类型，构建一种当代分类法。这些类型包括：场所精神、反传统主义、奇观、赛博格、数字景观、不确定性、管理主义、行动主义、弹性、景观都市主义和宏大规划。分类不企图将风景园林师的所有工作归入明确类型，而是强调其可识别性特质，不仅对特定项目，对整个风景园林学科也具有重要作用。每一种类型既可作为潜在语言工具，为当代设计构建更广泛的讨论基础，又可作为明确主题，帮助设计师更自觉地探索设计的原创性。望以此激发对景观类型的讨论。

Landscape Genres: Towards a Taxonomy of Contemporary Landscape Architecture

Contemporary landscape architecture lacks a systematic way of classifying and discussing design projects according to their underlying design philosophies as well as the forms they take. This paper presents a provisional taxonomy of contemporary landscape architecture through the use of 11 genres. These genres are as follows; Genius loci, Iconoclasm, Spectacle, Cyborgs, Digital Natures, Indeterminism, Caretaking, Activism, Resilience, Landscape Urbanism and Big Plans. The purpose of this is not to try and organize all the types of work landscape architects do into definitive categories, rather, it is to highlight types of work with certain identifiable characteristics that the author believes to be important, not only for a given project but for the discipline of landscape architecture in the 21st century more broadly. Each genre is therefore formulated as a potential linguistic tool to help shape further discussion of contemporary design and also as a way of identifying certain themes which designers might self-consciously seek to further develop in their creative work into the future. In this sense the genres are beginnings not ends.
