风景园林大潮涌起

The Rising Tide of Landscape Architecture

气候变化正严重影响我们思考和讨论社会问题的方式,风景园林师和风景园林学校都面临挑战。新型洪水治理设计项目是过去的三年里瑞士联邦理工学院风景园林所的研究生综合性设计课程的研究重点,罗讷河三角洲项目、卢申河流域项目、麻吉亚三角洲项目三个案例都显示了一种拓扑学的(景观)设计途径,可以在轻松为工程项目补益的同时,带来公众的便利和生态价值的提升。面对大尺度地貌拓扑的设计和空间模型所带来的新挑战,先进的计算机知识以及汲取于分级和排水系统两方面的适当的拓扑学能力,是保证风景园林学科与其他专业领域在环境设计方面保持竞争能力的一项必要条件。

Climate change is seriously affecting the way we think and talk about our society. This challenge is facing both landscape architects and landscape architecture schools. New flood management programmes have been the focus for the Master Design Studios at the Institute of Landscape Architecture of the ETH in Zurich in the last three years. The Rhone river delta project, the Lutschine river tract project, and the delta of the Maggia river project all show a topological approach which could easily become complementary to engineering projects while proposing increased public amenity and ecological value. Contemporary schools of landscape architecture are ready to train younger generations of students with the proper methods and tools to meet this challenge. Advanced computer knowledge coupled with the acquirement of appropriate topological abilities in grading and in drainage is a must if landscape architecture is to remain competitive with other fields in environmental design.
