Abstract

As American agricultural production has mechanized and cities have grown, fewer and fewer people experience firsthand the planting, growing and harvesting of crops. City dwellers drive through and fly over the working landscape, observing its inner workings from a distance. From this vantage point, the cultural and ecological dynamics occurring in agriculture can be likened to the unseen landscapes described by artist Paul Nash: ‘They belong to the world that lies, visibly about us. They are unseen merely because they are not perceived; only in that way can they be regarded as invisible.’1 As a result, the public is generally unaware of the complexity of the agricultural systems that are fundamental to food production. New forms of process-based and participatory representation could challenge this paradigm by embracing the ways in which these working landscapes are constructed, maintained and experienced.

数字:对农业形象的再思考

随着美国农业生产的机械化和城市的发展，越来越少的人能亲身体验农作物的种植、生长和收获。城市居民开车穿过并飞越工作景观，从远处观察其内部运作。从这个角度来看，农业中发生的文化和生态动态可以比作艺术家保罗·纳什所描述的看不见的风景:“它们属于我们周围可见的世界。”它们之所以看不见，只是因为看不见;只有这样，他们才能被认为是无形的。因此，公众通常没有意识到对粮食生产至关重要的农业系统的复杂性。基于过程和参与性代表的新形式可以通过采用这些工作景观的构建、维护和体验方式来挑战这种范式。

期刊介绍： JoLA is the academic Journal of the European Council of Landscape Architecture Schools (ECLAS), established in 2006. It is published three times a year. JoLA aims to support, stimulate, and extend scholarly debate in Landscape Architecture and related fields. It also gives space to the reflective practitioner and to design research. The journal welcomes articles addressing any aspect of Landscape Architecture, to cultivate the diverse identity of the discipline. JoLA is internationally oriented and seeks to both draw in and contribute to global perspectives through its four key sections: the ‘Articles’ section features both academic scholarship and research related to professional practice; the ‘Under the Sky’ section fosters research based on critical analysis and interpretation of built projects; the ‘Thinking Eye’ section presents research based on thoughtful experimentation in visual methodologies and media; the ‘Review’ section presents critical reflection on recent literature, conferences and/or exhibitions relevant to Landscape Architecture.
