Abstract

Since the late 20th century, sustainability is one of the most pressing concerns for the security and well-being of our society when we are witnessing the rapid change in urban landscape patterns. Responding to this issue, the discipline of environmental designs including landscape architecture has also attempted to realize this concept in various ways. The purpose of this study lies in introducing and redefining the meaning of ecological aesthetics as an alternative "sustainable" design theory. This paper theoretically discusses about the role of aesthetics in landscape design and the relationship between landscape and aesthetics to emphasize the importance of ecological aesthetics. Based on extensive literature review and analysis, the study attempts to redefine the characteristics of ecological aesthetics: an emphasis on cognitive process in landscape appreciation, environmentalism, unrestricted from style, and nonnative aesthetics. Having defined the characteristics, this study also finds several design subjects to adapt the concept of ecological aesthetics to actual design practice. Founded on the big idea "make nature visible", the defined subjects are ecological functions, temporality of landscape, and history of landscape, security, and accessibility. Also, this study stresses the importance m the creativity of the design(er) in order to effectively represent these subjects to the public.

20세기 후반부터 현재까지 지속가능성(sustainability)은 현재 인류의 생존과 웰빙에 관련된 가장 큰 화두일 것이다. 이에 대한 대응으로 조경을 포함한 환경설계 분야에서도 이 개념을 실천적으로 구현하기 위해 계속해서 다양한 시도가 이뤄지고 있다. 본 연구는 이렇게 급변하는 도시경관의 변화와 조경설계의 방법과 태도의 전환이 요구되는 시대에 "지속가능성"의 개념을 추구하기 위한 대안적인 설계이론으로 생태미학이라는 분야를 소개하고 재정의하고자 하였다. 본문에서는 생태미학의 필요성을 설명하기 위해서 조경설계에 있어서 미학의 역할과 지속가능한 경관과 미학의 관계에 대한 이론적 고찰을 하였다. 그리고 광범위한 문헌조사와 분석을 통해 생태미학의 특징을 정의하였는 데, 첫 번째는 경관체험에 있어서 인지적 과정을 강조, 두 번째는 환경주의자적인 가치관, 세 번째는 기존의 스타일로부터 해방, 네 번째로 설계에 있어서 규범적인 성격이 분석되었다. 이렇게 규명된 생태미학의 특징을 바탕으로 조경설계에 반영해야 하는 생태미학적 설계주제를 요약 및 논증하였다. 주 설계 개념인 "실제로 느낄 수 있는 자연"을 바탕으로 설계가 표현해야 할 다섯 가지 주제는 생태적 기능, 경관의 일시성, 역사성, 안전성, 접근성 등이며, 이와 못지않게 중요한 설계의 과제는 위 주제들을 예술적이며 친근하게 표현해야 하는 설계(가)의 창의성이라고 판단되며 차후 연구에서 심도 깊게 다뤄질 필요가 있다고 본다.
