ABSTRACT

Current academic debate suggests that landscape architects have a crucial role in the conservationof engaging of biodiversity within urban and peri-urban contexts. By modulating the visual and physical interaction between humans and wildlife habitats, landscape architecture projects foster an aesthetic experience of biodiversity, contributing to shaping human understanding of its ecological value. This article discusses the relationship between landscape architecture and the promotion of biodiversity in Italy through a critical reading of a variety of design interventions ranging from the enhancement of sites included within nature reserves, to the reconstruction of lost natural habitats, to the inclusion of existing habitats in newly designed urban landscapes. Proposing four different typologies of spatial practices, defined according to the projects’ ability to engage visual perception and bodily movement, this paper aims at positioning the Italian context within the current global discussion on the role of landscape architecture in eliciting an aesthetic experience of biodiversity.

摘要

当前的学术辩论表明，景观设计师在保护城市和城郊环境中生物多样性的参与方面发挥着至关重要的作用。通过调节人类与野生动物栖息地之间的视觉和物理互动，景观建筑项目培养了生物多样性的审美体验，有助于塑造人类对其生态价值的理解。本文通过对各种设计干预措施的批判性阅读，讨论了意大利景观建筑与促进生物多样性之间的关系，这些干预措施包括加强自然保护区内的遗址、重建失去的自然栖息地，再到纳入现有栖息地。在新设计的城市景观中。提出四种不同类型的空间实践，
