Abstract

This study aims to interpret the current landscape design of the place and landscape of memory, such as post-industrial parks and memorials that have an old, aging appearance from an aesthetic perspective. The objects of the study are large parks and open spaces that have collective memories for visitors. Visitors' aesthetic experience from these places and landscapes of memory could be explained by aesthetic concepts such as the sublime, nostalgia, and melancholy. Because these aesthetic concepts are associated with past traumas, visitors may be affected morbidly. However, due to the capability of the media to form an aesthetic experience when visitors visit a given place and landscape, visitors can autonomously adjust the distance to the place of memory and gain an aesthetic experience. The aesthetic experiences through the sublime, nostalgia, and melancholy are based on temporality and irreversibility. Temporality here refers to a characteristic of memory, and time in the place and landscape of memory and is based on the irreversibility of time, as time cannot go back. Both the place memory and the memory that is recalled from the combination with visitor's past memories and knowledge are two major factors involved in the construction of the aesthetic experience in the place and landscape of memory. The results of the present study are meaningful in that this study presents a framework for a better understanding and use of both the place memory and appreciators' memory in the design process of a place and landscape of memory and also criticizes a materialistic approach that fails to take into account the visitors' memories.

본 연구는 포스트 인더스트리얼 공원이나 메모리얼 등 기존 모습을 유지한 채 근대적 기억을 담은 장소와 경관을 만드는 최근 조경 설계 경향에 대한 미학적 해석이다. 논의의 주요 대상은 방문자들이 공유할 수 있는 집단 기억을 간직한 대형 공원과 오픈스페이스다. 기억의 장소와 경관에서 일어나는 방문자의 미적 경험은 숭고, 노스탤지어, 멜랑콜리 등의 개념으로 설명될 수 있다. 이러한 미학적 개념이 강도 높은 트라우마 기억과 연관될 경우 방문자는 병적 상태에 다다를 위험이 있다. 그러나 '방문'을 통해 미적 경험이 이루어진다는 장소와 경관의 매체적 특성에 의해 방문자는 기억의 장소와의 거리를 자율적으로 조정할 수 있으며, 따라서 기억의 장소에서 온전한 미적 경험을 할 수 있게 된다. 숭고, 노스탤지어, 멜랑콜리를 통한 미적 경험은 시간성의 발현과 비가역성을 통해 이루어지는데, 시간성이란 장소와 경관이 가진 기억과 시간의 특성을 의미하며, 기억의 장소와 경관에서 발현되는 시간성은 되돌릴 수 없는 시간의 비가역성에 기초한다. 이 때 방문자가 가진 기억과 배경지식은 장소 기억과 더불어 장소와 경관에서 미적 경험을 구축해 나가는 주요 요소이다. 본 연구는 기억의 장소와 경관을 설계하는 과정에서 장소 기억과 방문자의 기억을 이해하고 활용할 수 있는 이론적 틀을 제시한다는 점에서 의의를 갖는다. 방문자의 기억에 소홀했던 물성 중심적 설계에 대한 비판적 시각 또한 본 연구의 또 다른 의의일 것이다.
