포스트 인더스트리얼 조경 디자인에 의한 재생 조경 디자인의 미의식에 관한 연구

Regenerative landscape design has been gaining attention for many years. Post-industrial landscape design is the typical form of regenerative landscape. It is based on the adaptive reuse of derelict sites and buildings to rejuvenate spaces that have lost their commercial value and thus become places of public activity. The design strategies have remained much the same over the years. Although regenerative landscapes are widely acclaimed, current research mainly focuses on ecological and commercial values, lacking an exploration of the fundamental reasons for the preference. Therefore, this study first collates many design projects for analysis. The familiarity, novelty, and exploratory features have been found through the analysis. Secondly, combined with the theoretical knowledge of evolutionary aesthetics, explain why each feature triggers a sense of familiarity. That is, visitors prefer familiarity with the history of the space and the original structures preserved on the site. The visitors’ curiosity is aroused by the novelty of the space after its renewal, which triggers exploratory behaviour in line with the exploratory preference. Finally, prior research based on neuroaesthetics has found that visitors to the post-communal landscape activate important brain areas related to memory, visual space and emotion. This process activates the brain’s reward circuitry, producing positive experiences and emotions. The findings of this paper are then used as a basement for making feasible recommendations for the design of regenerated landscapes. This study analyses people’s aesthetic preferences for the regenerative landscape from evolutionary aesthetics and neuroaesthetics perspectives.
