Abstract
Abstract In 2016, Rudi van Etteger, Ian Thompson and Vera Vicenzotti reflected in JoLA on the relevance of aesthetic theory for landscape architecture in their paper, ‘Aesthetic Creation Theory and Landscape Architecture’. They explored the aesthetic creation of art through the eyes of philosopher Nick Zangwill. The discussion remained theoretical, so this paper builds on their work by applying Aesthetic Creation Theory (ACT) to a specific landscape design proposal, thereby testing its implications for the design process. The proposed design pays tribute to a disappearing glacier in a National Park in New Zealand by using aesthetic experience to engage with the loss itself. The described phases of Insight, Intention and Action guide the development of an explicit and grounded rationale for aesthetic decision making. The case confirms the legitimacy of applying aesthetic theory to landscape architecture, but also reveals its vulnerabilities. It offers a means to reflect on and discuss the relationship between theory and practice.
2016年,Rudi van Etteger, Ian Thompson和Vera Vicenzotti在JoLA上发表了他们的论文“美学创造理论和景观建筑”,反映了美学理论与景观建筑的相关性。他们通过哲学家Nick Zangwill的视角来探索艺术的审美创造。讨论仍然是理论性的,因此本文通过将美学创造理论(ACT)应用于具体的景观设计方案,从而测试其对设计过程的影响,从而建立他们的工作。这个设计方案是为了向新西兰国家公园里正在消失的冰川致敬,通过美学体验来关注冰川的消失。所描述的“洞察”、“意图”和“行动”三个阶段指导了美学决策的明确和基本原理的发展。案例证实了美学理论在景观设计中的合理性,但也暴露了其脆弱性。它为反思和讨论理论与实践的关系提供了一种手段。
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.
