Abstract

Herman $F{\ddot{u}}rst\;P{\ddot{u}}ckler-Muskau$ is one of important figures in German landscape architecture who designed both Muskau Park and Branitz Park and published garden book Andeutungen ${\ddot{u}}ber$ Landschaftgartenerei (Hints on Landscape Gardening) in 1834. He was a German nobleman who governed Muskau estates while working as both a writer and a landscape gardener. German landscape gardening was grounded on Romanticism, which was represented in diverse ways such as the reconciliation between man and nature, the liberation of reason, and the pursuit of liberty. The intellectuals came to have an interest on landscape gardening since the garden carried the cultural connotation such as the idealized epitome of nature. This study is to investigate how his idea of landscape gardening had been developed through his personal life and social background and to find out his landscape gardening theory and its unique gardening techniques. Finally, the inventive aspect of his garden theory and contemporary significances in practices were discussed. $P{\ddot{u}}cklers^{\prime}$ personal experience and social background provide us to understand the idea of garden. First, there was a mixture between reality and fantasy in his garden theory. It was due to the influence of Romanticism and literary garden. Second, his gardening mentality and technique were influenced by the late 18th century English garden practices, which emphasized the expressive aspects. Third, $P{\ddot{u}}cklers^{\prime}$ inner disposition and personal experience were represented in his garden design. Fourth, the intention of creating landscape garden for the local people might be a self realization of his contradictory characters between falling nobleman and liberal social leader. The significant value of $P{\ddot{u}}ckler^{\prime}s$ garden idea might be closely related in the dual nature of humanistic garden tradition and garden practice for social agenda. Therefore, his garden idea pursued of the comprehensive landscape strategies toward ideal communities and ethical spirits while concerning ecological, social, economic sustainable development of the region. Furthermore, his landscape gardening aims at the total landscape encompassing garden to region as well as the Gesamtkunst combing the beautiful with the useful. $P{\ddot{u}}ckler^{\prime}s$ holistic attitude gives us fresh insights and new directions to contemporary landscape theory and practice.

헤르만 F. 퓌클러-무스카우는 1834년 '풍경식 정원의 예시'라는 정원이론서를 출간하고, 무스카우와 브라니츠 정원을 조성한 독일 정원사의 중요한 인물이다. 그는 무스카우 공국의 통치자였으며 작가이자 정원사로서 다면적 활동을 하였다. 그가 영향력을 끼친 독일의 풍경식 정원은 이성으로부터의 해방, 인간 본연의 자유를 추구하는 낭만주의에 기반하고 있다. 당시 지식인들이 풍경식 정원에 관심을 가지게 것은 이상화된 자연을 표상하는 정원의 문화적 의미에서였다. 본 연구에서는 퓌클러-무스카우의 풍경식 정원관의 형성과정을 생애와의 관계 속에서 고찰하고, 이를 통하여 도출된 퓌클러의 풍경식 정원론의 내용과 고유한 설계방식을 살펴본다. 이와 함께 함축하고 있는 혁신성과 현대적 관점에서의 실천적 함의를 고찰한다. 퓌클러가 풍경식 정원에 관심을 갖고 자신만의 정원론을 구축하게 된 것은 여러 나라의 경관과 정원 기행에서 비롯하였다. 계몽적 낭만주의로 대표되는 퓌클러가 살았던 시기의 시대적 배경과 그의 개인적 경험 간의 상호관계는 그의 정원론을 이해하는 기반이 된다. 첫째, 그의 풍경식 정원론은 실제와 이상이 혼재되어 있는데 이는 낭만주의와 문학적 정원의 영향이라고 볼 수 있다. 둘째, 정원 구현 방식에 있어서는 18세기 후반의 표현을 중시하는 영국 풍경식 정원의 영향을 받고 있다. 셋째, 퓌클러의 정원 설계에서는 그의 내면적 성향과 개인 경험이 드러난다. 넷째, 퓌클러가 지역 주민을 위한 정원을 조성하고자한 것은 진보적 사상을 지닌 귀족으로서 모순적 성격의 자기표현이라고 할 수 있다. 퓌클러 풍경식 정원론의 가치는 인문학적 정원의 전통과 사회 조건의 개선을 추구하는 실용적 태도와 깊이 관련된다. 이러한 결과로 나타난 그의 풍경식 정원론은 이상적 공동체와 윤리적인 건강성을 지향하는 경관론이면서, 지역의 생태적, 경제적, 사회적 지속가능성을 고려한 전략을 담고 있다. 또한 개인적 영역에서 공공의 영역에 이르기까지 정원의 개념과 의미를 확장하고, 실용과 미를 동시에 추구하는 종합예술을 지향한다. 이러한 통합적 관점은 오늘날 현대 조경이론과 실천에서 회복되어야 할 가치이며 지향점이기도 하다.
