内容简介:

马克·弗朗西斯先生的著作《城市开放空间:为使用者的需求而设计》出版迄今已经15年,随着社会和行业的发展,公共空间与可持续发展、基础设施和社会公正一样,作为全球实践和研究的领域,成为了风景园林和城市化领域的中心议题。城市开放空间不再被认为是建筑的附加物,而成为了市民生活中必不可少的元素,与城市的健康和可持续发展息息相关。然而大量的城市开放空间或被忽视,或在设计之初忽略了使用者的体验以致带来诸多不便,并不能真正融入人们的日常生活,亟待更新和转型。

虽然近年来国内不断涌现出国内外所公认的设计精良的作品,但由于缺乏系统的案例评估分析特别是后续的使用评估研究,这些成功作品往往停留于精美的图片,并不能更好地指导今后的实践,也难以为风景园林学科的发展奠定更加坚实的理论基础。作为风景园林基金会资助的案例研究法课题的成果总结,自成书之日起,本书归纳出的案例研究方法和框架在世界各地被广泛运用于促进风景园林的学术研究并对许多新项目的设计建设管理产生了影响。时至今日,以风景园林基金会为代表的各专业机构还在采用本书总结的体系进行建成项目的评估研究。弗朗西斯先生和译者衷心希望本书能展现案例研究为风景园林学科提供循证批评和理论发展的价值,为中国的风景园林实践提供帮助。

It has been 15 years since the publication of Mark Francis’s book, Urban Open Space: Designing for the Needs of Users, and as society and industry have evolved, public space has become a central topic in the field of landscape architecture and urbanization as a field of global practice and research, along with sustainability, infrastructure and social justice. Urban open space is no longer considered an add-on to architecture, but an essential element of civic life, closely linked to the health and sustainable development of the city. However, a large number of urban open spaces are either ignored, or the user experience is ignored at the beginning of the design, resulting in many inconveniences, and cannot really be integrated into people’s daily life, and needs to be updated and transformed urgently.

Although in recent years, well-designed works recognized at home and abroad have been emerging in China, due to the lack of systematic case evaluation and analysis, especially the follow-up use evaluation research, these successful works often stay in exquisite pictures, which cannot better guide future practice, and it is difficult to lay a more solid theoretical foundation for the development of landscape architecture. As a summary of the results of the Landscape Architecture Foundation-funded case study method, the case study methods and frameworks summarized in this book have been widely used around the world to promote academic research in landscape architecture and have influenced the design, construction and management of many new projects. To this day, various professional organizations represented by the Landscape Architecture Foundation are still using the system summarized in this book to evaluate and study completed projects. Mr. Francis and the translators sincerely hope that this book will demonstrate the value of case studies in providing evidence-based criticism and theoretical development for the discipline of landscape architecture, and help the practice of landscape architecture in China.

内容简介:在人口日益增长和城市化的全球背景下,建立新的生物保护区的机会越来越有限。因此,通过有意识的规划和设计来管理建成环境中的生物多样性是非常必要的。《生物多样性规划与设计:可持续的实践》一书通过一系列的案例研究来展示和诠释了在面对城市化和土地利用变化时如何维持生物多样性;动物园如何通过教育、激励和影响价值观的方式将生物多样性融入社区;以及如何通过细致的生态研究和创新的工程实践来重建或者复制因发展破坏的生物多样性。本书列举的案例研究都来自美国,选择这些案例旨在提供更广泛的视角来应对不同规模和土地使用环境下的生物多样性挑战。

In the global context of growing populations and urbanization, opportunities for the establishment of new bioprotected areas are increasingly limited. Therefore, it is essential to manage biodiversity in the built environment through conscious planning and design. Biodiversity Planning and Design: Sustainable Practices is a series of case studies that demonstrate and illustrate how biodiversity can be sustained in the face of urbanization and land-use change; how zoos can integrate biodiversity into communities by educating, motivating and influencing values; and how to rebuild or replicate biodiversity damaged by development through meticulous ecological research and innovative engineering practices. The case studies presented in this book are all from the United States and are selected to provide a broader perspective on biodiversity challenges at different scales and in land-use settings.
