论谢灵运《山居赋》植物之美

摘要：谢灵运隐居在始宁庄园著《山居赋》以记载植物之美。他提出“贞观厥美”的观物方法,即以一种中立不倚的方法来观山水之“正”,以体察万物之“真”。他在山居中长期细致地观察植物,极物之形、尽物之性、感物之情,写出植物的美趣、生机。谢灵运将山中植物纳入审美欣趣之中,使其具有一种文人气息：另～方面谢灵运描摹植物的自然清新之美,以此体现植物的自然美,与两汉园林的植物之美有质的区别。

亨利·巴瓦(Henri Bava)在中法园林文化论坛上的报告

亨利·巴瓦先生通过介绍其承担的6个项目（瑞士日内瓦扬特基金会花园、法国尼姆市中学校园庭院设计、混合停车场设计、魔水花园、绿色都市、巴黎市中心集市改造工程），向人们阐述了他的设计观念，他认为土壤是进行设计工作的基质和源泉，园林设计不仅要考虑土壤本身的含义，更要由表及里去考虑各个时期中自然、历史、文化对土壤的影响所形成的地貌物的整体。他通过实例告诉风景园林师要深入挖掘发现设计区域内一些未知的、看不见的东西，从而在整体上把握我们的设计。
