Abstract

The perception and aesthetic experience of places concerns the appreciation of what is recognised as a site. It presupposes readability. A place is here, surrounded by other, similar places, that are there. Beyond, elsewhere, there is always a hinterland: beyond my world, is the World. One can only imagine the World, but the World can announce itself here, as an aspect or element of what we effectively perceive, such as a view onto a distance or the horizon. A (meaningful) environment acquires, moreover, an aesthetic quality when the successful structuring of the interplay of Place and World suggests an image to the aesthetic view: when the site is recognised as exemplifying the “topos” of a “lovely place,” or a locus amoenus: an enclosed, secret garden (“paradise”), or a “House before the Distant.”

摘要

对场所的感知和审美体验涉及对被认可为场所的东西的欣赏。它以可读性为前提。这里有一个地方，周围有其他类似的地方。超越，别处，总有一个腹地：超越我的世界，就是世界。人们只能想象世界，但世界可以在这里宣布自己，作为我们有效感知的事物的一个方面或元素，例如对远处或地平线的看法。此外，当地方和世界相互作用的成功结构暗示了一个形象时，一个（有意义的）环境获得了一种审美品质审美观点：当该地点被认为是一个“可爱的地方”或一个地方的“拓扑”时：一个封闭的秘密花园（“天堂”），或一个“远方的房子”。
