地方主义语境下的园林景观设计

LANDSCAPE AS GARDEN IN THE CONTEXT OF REGIONALISM

欧林事务所在设计中关注地方语境,本文介绍了其在弗吉尼亚大学艺术博物馆的景观设计。弗吉尼亚曾经是一片森林,早春时节树下生长着茂盛的草本植物。一年中大部分时间气候宜人,只有夏季炎热。托马斯·杰斐逊认为,在这里遮荫是必要的,并主张栽种树木以遮阳。欧林事务所的园林设计受其启发,种植了当地的郁金香树以遮蔽骄阳,并模仿森林中花草在树下绽放的景观,在郁金香树下种有常青草本植物。此外,草本植物栽种布局再现了弗吉尼亚古老园林的几何构图。

Virginia was originally forest with a rich understory of early spring blooming herbaceous plants. Theclimate, comfortable most of the year, has long, hotsummers. Thomas Jefferson wrote that shade wasnecessary to enjoy a garden in summer here. Headvocated planting a living parasol of trees for shade,planting the garden beneath them. Olin Partnershiplandscapes are inspired by their regional context. Oneexample is our design for the University of Virginia ArtMuseum, Chapel Hill, Virginia. Native Tuliptrees areplanted in a grid for shade. Beneath these, herbaceousperennials are planted mimicking the forest floor flowerdisplays. The arrangement of the herbaceous plantsreinterprets the geometry of the parterres found in oldVirginia gardens.
