西方近代公园史研究刍议

对西方近代公园史的主要著述展开综合分析,指出:公园不单单只是一处经过设计的景观,一份文化的载体,抑或一个社会活动的容器,而是一种由创造者使用者等多种势力在广阔的政治、社会、文化背景中不断争夺的社会空间。在近代公园史研究中,对景观设计的静态的狭义的鉴赏已不能适用,应让位于对社会与空间相互作用的深层探究。

Preliminary Discussion on the Modern History Studies of the Western Park

Reviewing the existing studies on Western park history, the paper indicates that a park is not merely a de- signed landscape, a cultural carrier, or a social container, but an urban social space, whose role is continuously defined, contested and negotiated by a wide range of promoters, designers and park goers in broader political, social and cultural contexts. When examining public parks, researchers can no longer take up a static, narrow connois- seurship of landscape design, and instead, they should ex- plore the interplay between social practice and physical space.
