植根于地域文化的美国加州花园

Recognition of Regional Character as the Sources of the California Garden

美国的加州花园是地域主义的重要表现形式。植根于地域文化的加州花园经历了从封闭原生的地域文化意识到开放觉醒的地域文化表现,最终走向积极自觉的地域主义的三个渐进的发展阶段。这一发展模式不仅描述了加州花园的发展过程,同时也说明了对地域文化特征的设计表现并非是一成不变的,而是随着社会的变化而变化;植根于地域文化不仅是形成某种风格,而是更多地表现为一种创造地域特色的思路和方法。

The gardens of California are important manifestations of regionalism. Taking the regional expression as the source of garden design, the California gardens consist of three progressive culture-determined evolutionary stages： the intuitive recognition of regional character, the self-consciousness regional expression and the regionalism. Not only does this evolutionary model describe the development process of the California gardens, but suggests that regional character is not a constant designed expression, but evolves in response to changes in society; it also suggests that the regional character not only leads to a specific style, but a creative way to regional expression.
