自然与康复:为何我们需要绿色疗法

Healing Nature: Why We Need Green Therapy

自然干预具有康复功效,给身体带来诸多益处。这样的案例可以追溯到早期希腊文明。康复花园现在已用于医院、住宅小区和战争期间由士兵建造的花园。自然的康复功效已得到越来越多的科学证据支撑。风景园林师通过设计活化了这种兴起的景观模式。华盛顿大学基于工作室的教育模式发展了独特的设计/建造课程,教育学生疗愈花园的理论和实际应用。目前华盛顿大学的设计/建造课程在美国西雅图和海外建造了20多个疗愈花园,提供了在社区可复制的康复花园原型,此类模式尚处于开创阶段。

Examples of therapeutic nature interventions that elicit multiple beneficial outcomes can be traced back to early Greek civilization to current therapeutic gardens now installed in hospitals,residential group homes and those created by soldiers during war.The growing scientific evidence supports these initial intuitive motivations that nature has a therapeutic benefit.Landscape architects play a substantial role in designing and activating for these emerging typologies and a unique design/build program at the University of Washington is using a studio-based education model to educate students about the theory and practicality of healing gardens.The results of this model have been the creation of over twenty therapeutic gardens created in both Seattle and abroad that offer prototypes for replication in communities and the movement is in its infancy.
