潮汐景观--以荷兰埃姆斯大坝为例

Tidal Landscape of the Eemsdam

边界景观边境地区对景观设计师来说是一块可以改变、重建以及再塑造的区域。边境景观的二元性是其主要特点。一方面,它是两国之间的边界线。而另一方面,它本身也可以引发冲突和双重解读。边界线的周围地区常常是遍布矛盾以及争议的地方,正是这种争议性,形成不同的边界和边界景观。

Abstract： The project Eemsdam proposes a solution for the Eems-Dollard estuary in the Northeast of the Netherlands. This is one of the two remaining open sea estuaries after the realisation of the DutchDelta Works. The project Eemsdam deals with water safety, ecological values, an existing border conflict and cultural landscape identity. It illustrates a new Dutch approach of ＇working with water＇. Human interventions such as land reclamation and diking have led to a gradual reduction of the size of the estuarine area. The high concentration of sludge in the water causes serious ecological problems. The Netherlands and Germany still disagree about the exact border in the Eems-Dollard estuary, despite of a border agreement of 1960. Because of this frontier dispute, neither country currently takes responsibility for the estuary.
