“这本书体现了景观设计师们兼具广度和深度的创意，并断定景观设计将在当今世界的塑造中发挥核心作用。该宣言于2016年风景园林与未来峰会上被提出，反映了景观设计行业亟需就气候变化、城市化和全球发展失衡等问题进行对话，强调了倡导多元化、创造力、领导力和执行力的必要性。这一充满挑战性构想的纲要的提出，充分说明了景观设计对未来发展的重要性。”
– 2019年评审委员会

“This extraordinary book reflects a remarkable breadth and depth of thinking by landscape architecture’s most creative minds, and is in itself an assertion that landscape architecture has a central role to play in shaping the world of the 21st century. Born out of the Summit on Landscape Architecture and the Future, held in 2016, the declaration reflects critical conversations the profession must have about issues such as climate change, urbanization, and global inequity. Underscoring the need to diversify, innovate, and create a bold culture of leadership, advocacy, and activism, this vast compendium of challenging ideas makes a passionate case for why landscape architecture matters.”

项目概述
PROJECT STATEMENT

景观设计在当下扮演着怎样的角色？在LAF（风景园林基金会）成立50周年前夕，主办方邀请了一群世界顶尖的风景园林设计师，让他们回顾过去半个世纪的成果，并就该学科未来应该实现的目标提出创造性的想法。这些杰出的设计师远远超出了公众对“园丁”或“景观工作者”这一职业的传统认知，他们讨论了自己在解决气候变化、城市化、重要资源管理和全球发展失衡等重大议题中所发挥的作用。

《新景观宣言》（The New Landscape Declaration）一书对景观设计及其潜力进行了批判性、刺激性和启发性的探索，收录了来自James Corner，Gina Ford，Randy Hester，Nina-Marie Lister，Kate Orff，Alpa Nawre，Mario Schjetnan，Martha Schwartz，Carl Steinitz，Kongjian Yu等人的32篇论文。书中的想法跨越了学科界限，挑战了当前的思想和实践困境，强调了倡导多元化、创造力、领导力和执行力的必要性。

What is the role of landscape architecture today? On the eve of its 50th anniversary, the Landscape Architecture Foundation asked a diverse group of the world’s leading landscape architects to reflect on the last half-century and present bold ideas for what the discipline should achieve in the future. Well beyond the public conception of the profession as “gardener” or “landscaper,” these preeminent designers discussed their role in addressing weighty issues like climate change, urbanization, management of vital resources, and global inequities.

Featuring 32 essays from the likes of James Corner, Gina Ford, Randy Hester, Nina-Marie Lister, Kate Orff, Alpa Nawre, Mario Schjetnan, Martha Schwartz, Carl Steinitz, Kongjian Yu, and many more, The New Landscape Declaration book is a critical, provocative, and inspirational examination of landscape architecture and its potential. The ideas cross disciplinary boundaries and challenge current silos of thought and practice, underscoring the need to diversify, innovate, and create a bold culture of leadership, advocacy, and activism.

项目说明
PROJECT NARRATIVE

2016年6月，LAF会召集了来自世界各地的700多名设计师，召开了一次关于风景园林与未来的峰会，为这一学科在21世纪的发展指明了方向。这次历史性的聚会标志着由Ian McHarg，Grady Clay和其他著名景观设计师共同参与起草的《关注宣言》（Declaration of Concern）发表50周年。该宣言谴责了迅速蔓延的环境危机，并将景观设计视为寻找解决方案的关键。在这一基础上，首脑会议的最终目的是改写1966年的《关注宣言》，并发布具有里程碑意义的新版本。

在准备过程中，LAF邀请了一批当代风景园林领域的领军人物，让他们写下自己的“宣言”，并在峰会上提出。次日，按照不同主题划分的9个小组分别对宣言做出了回应，并就“如何激发景观设计的潜力和影响现实世界的变化”展开了激烈辩论。最终，LAF综合了峰会的价值观、讨论结果和想法，制定了全新的景观设计宣言。

《新景观宣言》以原始论文的形式收录了32篇宣言，摘录了专题讨论会的内容以及宾夕法尼亚大学设计学院Richard Weller的一篇论文。在世界各地的作者的共同努力下，本书以简明的形式告诉读者，景观设计在当今社会中所发挥的作用。

这本240页的精装书由Rare Bird图书公司出版，在美国景观设计协会（Amercian Society of Landscape Architects）2017年年会上低调发行。之后，这本书以精装本和电子书的形式在各大实体书店和网络商店全面上市。在2017年11月和12月的大部分时间里，这本书稳坐亚马逊环境研究类书籍新书榜榜首。不到两个月，第一版的1000本书便售罄。为了满足广大读者的需求，该书于2018年3月再版2000本。截至目前，这本书总共卖出了2500多本。

《新景观宣言》对景观设计师们来说是一个特别的机会。阅读这本书可以让他们从日常工作中抽身而出，肯定自我价值、树立远大理想。这本书断言，景观设计在解决气候变化、物种灭绝、快速城市化和全球发展失衡等时代议题中起着至关重要的作用。

本书还激起了景观设计公司、学术部门和学生之间持续不断的交流。LAF的工作人员和董事会成员在ASLA分会活动、大学和设计公司中向1600多人介绍了这本书中的巧思。由于一些宣传活动是通过主持讨论会的形式进行的，所以部分公司在讨论结束后仍然继续进行着对话，希望起草自己的价值观宣言。

许多教师在研讨会、工作室和专业实践课程中都引用了书中的文章，同时指定本书作为学生们的课外阅读材料。教师们通过该书来促进学生间的讨论，或者让学生起草自己的价值观宣言。LAF对此给予了特别的支持：他们编写样本教材，并赠与美国和加拿大的每个风景园林院系，供他们所在的系图书馆或大学图书馆使用。教师们定期向LAF发出批量订单，告知LAF他们如何在课堂上使用这本书，并与LAF交流这种思想领导力的培养对于学生成长的巨大价值。

这些例子说明了《新景观宣言》是如何被用来吸引、启发和激励景观设计师的。本书不仅体现了景观设计师们所共同宣扬的价值观，也激发着他们无穷的潜力。

PROJECT NARRATIVE

In June 2016, the Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF) convened over 700 designers from around the world for a Summit on Landscape Architecture and the Future to set the course for the discipline in the 21st century. This historic gathering marked 50 years since Ian McHarg, Grady Clay, and other leading landscape architects composed LAF’s seminal 1966 Declaration of Concern, which decried the burgeoning environmental crisis and heralded landscape architecture as critical to finding solutions. Building on this legacy, the summit was devised to culminate in a redrafting of the original 1966 Declaration of Concern and a landmark publication of the ideas presented.

In preparation, LAF asked a diverse group of leading minds in contemporary landscape architecture to write their own “declarations,” reflecting on the last half century and offering bold ideas for what the discipline should achieve in the future. These new declarations were presented at the summit. The following day, nine panels, curated by theme, responded to the declarations and engaged in lively debate about how to realize landscape architecture’s potential and effect real-world change. LAF then synthesized the values, discussions, and ideas from the summit to create a new manifesto for landscape architecture.

The New Landscape Declaration: A Call to Action for the Twenty-First Century presents the 32 declarations in original essay form, along with excerpts from panel discussions and an opening essay by Richard Weller of the University of Pennsylvania School of Design. With contributors from around the globe, the book offers a broad snapshot of current thinking on the role of landscape architecture today.

Published by Rare Bird Books, the hardcover, 240-page book was soft-launched at the 2017 ASLA Annual Meeting. In mid-November, it was fully available in hardcover and ebook form in specialty bookstores and through online retailers. The book was Amazon’s #1 New Release in the Environmental Studies category for much of November and December 2017. Within two months, the first print run of 1,000 copies completely sold out. To meet demand, a second print run of 2,000 copies was released in March 2018. In total, more than 2,500 copies of the book have been sold to date.

The New Landscape Declaration offers a unique opportunity for landscape architects to step back from their day-to-day work, affirm values, and think big. The book asserts the essential role of landscape architecture in solving the defining issues of our time: climate change, species extinction, rapid urbanization, and inequity

The New Landscape Declaration has inspired ongoing conversations within and among landscape architecture firms, academic departments, and students. Members of the LAF staff and Board of Directors have presented the ideas in the book to over 1,600 individuals at ASLA chapter events, universities, and design firms. Some of these were hosted discussions that resulted in firms continuing the dialogue to craft their own declaration of values.

A number of faculty have utilized the essays in seminar, studio, and professional practice courses, assigning them as readings, using them to prompt discussions, or having students draft their own declaration of values. To support this, LAF compiled sample teaching materials and sent a book to each landscape architecture department in the U.S. and Canada to include in their department or university library. Faculty periodically reach out to place bulk orders, inform LAF how they are using the book in their classrooms, and communicate the value that this compilation of thought leadership brings to their students.

These examples illustrate how The New Landscape Declaration is being used to engage, provoke, and inspire landscape architects. It serves as a potent reminder of the common values that landscape architects share and as a catalyst and call to action to realize landscape architecture’s full potential.
