Summary-摘要
Fangta Park in Shanghai is a widely admired Chinese modern park and a representative work by Professor Feng Jizhong. A literature review is first used to explain the construction process of Fangta Park, its design philosophy, master plan, and detailed design, followed by an analysis of the park’s design. Previous studies have shown how Feng Jizhong ‘deconstructed’ Western architectural forms using traditional Chinese space concepts, thus generating novel Chinese architectural forms underpinned by Western construction concepts. He adapted rhetorical devices of Chinese traditional poetry and used them in the spatial arrangement and landscape design of Fangta Park, a modern landscape and architectural masterpiece with distinctive Chinese characteristics. Feng Jizhong promoted blending Chinese culture with modern landscape design and illustrated the process of ‘space-time transformation’ with ‘conative space’. Through the design of Fangta Park, he exhibited his individuality and profound scholarship, charting a unique course for modern landscape architecture in China.
上海方塔园是一座广受赞赏的中国现代公园,也是冯纪忠教授的代表作品。本文首先通过文献综述阐述了方塔园的建设过程、设计理念、总体规划和详细设计,随后对该公园的设计进行了分析。研究表明,冯纪忠通过运用传统的中国空间概念来“解构”西方建筑形式,从而在西方建筑构造理念的支撑下创造了新颖的中国建筑形式。他将中国传统诗词的修辞手法应用于方塔公园的空间布局和景观设计中,使其成为一座具有鲜明中国特色的现代主义园林和建筑的杰作。冯纪忠推动了将中国文化与现代园林设计相融合,并以“意动空间”阐述了“时空转换”的过程,表达了人格独立和文人情怀的境界,探索了一条独特的现代主义园林设计之路。
