Abstract

Jens Jensen was an American landscape architect and early conservationist who pioneered a unique naturalistic landscape style. The purpose of the present study is to study Jensen's life, careers, design philosophy, and his contributions to the history of landscape architecture. Inspired by nature, Jensen worked closely with native plants, local materials, curvilineal and circular forms, and native scenery. His pioneering work in the Chicago's West Parks, including the design of Columbus Park and Humboldt, Garfield and Douglas Parks, was informed by his philosophical belief in the humanizing power of parks. In summary, first, Jensen played a prominent role in the creation of a unique native landscape style respecting regional landscape. Second, as a devoted conservationist and educator he organized conservation movements preserving landscape heritage and founded a education institution. Third, as a social reformer he emphasized the value of parks and nearby nature for urban citizens and children. Jensen's visions and philosophies have influenced on recent naturalistic landscape style and conservation efforts to preserve cultural landscape and natural environment.

본 연구의 목적은 초기 환경보전주의자이자 자연주의적 조경양식을 개척하였던 미국 조경가 젠스 젠슨의 생애와 철학, 작품분석을 통해 그의 디자인 철학과 표현양상을 분석하고 오늘날의 조경사적 의의를 알아보는 것이다. 시카고 녹지체계 및 콜럼버스, 험볼트, 가필드, 더글러스 공원 등 주요 작품들을 분석한 결과, 미국 중서부 지역고유의 자연환경에서 영감을 받아 곡선과 원형 등의 자유로운 형태를 사용하였으며, 재료면에서는 자생종의 식재, 지역재료의 사용이 특징적이었다. 또한, 시간의 흐름과 경관의 변화, 변하는 계절과 빛에 집중하여 감성적인 표현양상을 보였다. 젠슨의 조경사적 의의를 정리하면, 첫째, 프레어리 스타일의 조경가로서 지역주의 및 자연주의 조경양식을 확립하고 이러한 정신을 확산하는데 중요한 역할을 하였다. 둘째, 초기 보존주의자로서 지역고유 경관의 보존과 이에 대한 교육을 조경의 중요한 가치라고 생각했다. 셋째, 사회개혁가로서 민주적 가치를 중요하게 생각하여 도시민들을 위한 공원체계 확립, 도시민과 아이들의 일상적 자연과의 접촉, 체험, 교육을 위한 공간 조성을 강조하였다. 젠슨의 자연주의적 조경양식과 실천적 보존주의적 디자인 철학과 비전은 오늘날 조경분야의 핵심과 본질을 확인하고 미래발전 방향에 대한 시사점을 준다고 할 수 있다.
