陈从周园林营造的当代性:框架建构与内涵解析

Contemporaneity of Chen Congzhou’s Garden Construction:Framework Construction and Connotation Analysis

【目的】传统园林在当代的保护、修复、营造实践,呈现基于多元价值的闭环体系,但对保护实践多样性进程的当代性思考,往往并未被充分深入探讨。【方法】基于对陈从周园林营造历史情境、实践环境、理论语境的丰富层系认识,分析其园林营造的理论思考和个人实践与传统园林当代性问题乃至危机的相关性;从而揭示陈从周传统园林保护、修复、营造实践中蕴含的当代性问题,进而从理论层面进行分析并总结。【结果】以陈从周园林营造所建构的传统园林当代性问题及其实践为典型样本,建构了当代性的分析框架、解析出当代性的基本内涵。【结论】陈从周园林营造的当代性是一个开放性的理论框架,其基本思想内涵指向传统园林的当代性危机思考,在陈从周的园林营造实践中则表现为对当代性问题的多元回应。

[Objective]The contemporary practice of conservation,restoration and construction of traditional gardens presents a closed-loop system based on multiple values,but the contemporaneity of the process of conservation practice diversity hasn’t been fully explored.In particular,how to define“traditional gardens”and their situation in the contemporary era,and how to carry out the academic research,conservation and restoration as well as contemporary translation of traditional gardens in the contemporary era are important theoretical topics in the process of modernization of traditional Chinese gardens.Based on Agamben’s definition of contemporaneity and several characteristics of contemporaneity,this research examines the basic characteristics of Chen Congzhou’s personal academic research and construction practice in the process of contemporary Chinese garden construction,so as to construct an analytical framework for the contemporaneity of Chen Congzhou’s garden construction.[Methods]The construction of this analytical framework is based on the systematic understanding of the rich layers of historical situation,practical environment and theoretical context of Chen Congzhou’s garden construction,as well as the actual academic evolution of Chen Congzhou’s garden construction at different stages of development,and analyzes the correlation between his theoretical thinking and personal practice of garden construction and the contemporary problems and even crises of traditional gardens through the establishment of chronology,classification of construction practice and intensive reading of theoretical writings.In this way,the problem of contemporaneity in Chen Congzhou’s practice of conservation,restoration and construction of traditional gardens is revealed,that is,the possibility and feasible ways of survival,conservation and translation of traditional Chinese gardens in the contemporary era,followed by relevant theoretical analysis and summary.[Results]This research argues that Chen Congzhou’s garden construction shows typical contemporaneity characteristics,not only because he is well versed in the essence of traditional Chinese garden culture,but also because he has a deep criticism and reflection on the contemporaneity situation of traditional gardens,and he establishes a close connection between the contemporaneity and traditionality of garden construction based on his personal academic research,construction practice,and theoretical elaboration.Therefore,taking the contemporaneity of traditional gardens constructed by Chen Congzhou in his garden construction practice as a typical sample,the research constructs a universal analytical framework for contemporaneity of traditional garden construction,and analyzes the basic connotation of contemporaneity of traditional garden construction.[Conclusion]The research concludes that the contemporaneity of Chen Congzhou’s garden construction is an open theoretical framework,whose basic ideological connotation points to the crisis thinking of the contemporaneity of traditional gardens,and is manifested as multiple responses to the problem of contemporaneity in the garden construction practice of Chen Congzhou.
