园林、平行生态、城市生命共同体——访民间生态园林专家杨春林先生

Gardens, Parallel Ecology, and Urban Life Community: An interview with Yang Chunlin, the Civil Expert on Ecological Gardens

一场大雨就让城市陷入汪洋之中,这样的事件在世界范围内都屡见不鲜。大雨把城市生存环境的脆弱及其可持续性的局限暴露出来。在气候变化的今天,城市适应自然变化的窘境日益凸显,因此,思考修复与强化城市可持续生态环境的问题显得尤为重要。那么,如何修复与增强城市的可持续生态能力呢？本文将围绕这个问题,以访谈的形式与生态园林专家杨春林先生讨论从中国园林建设的角度进行城市生态修复的设想。

When a heavy rain floods a city, it reveals the vulnerable urban ecological environment as well as the disadvantages of modern city construction. It is increasingly important to think about the restoration and rein-forcement of the sustainability of urban ecology and environment. But how? I had this question for Yang Chunlin, a private Beijing based expert on gardens in my interview with him. This interview attempts to pre-sent how a nonacademic or private researcher on gardens understands Chinese gardens and what functions garden building performs in the sustainable living environment construction of cities today. Yang Chunlin re-gards the garden as a livable project and the city, too. In this way, city construction is the same as garden construction. Originating from nature and surpassing nature, Chinese gardens are the meeting point where man and nature coexist in harmony, reflecting the harmonious relationship between man and nature. Accord-ing to Yang, the above meeting point concept should be integrated into urban construction. Meanwhile, it is necessary to introduce the mechanism of parallel ecology such as building meadows below road surface,planting local wild plants and weeds, and taking meadows, rivers, high buildings, people and even vehicles as a whole. By doing so, the city will be developed as a life community with a clear and feasible direction to the sustainable ecological environment construction.
