We need to have a universal system for the landscape architectural profession at the national level which focuses on public facilities from an aesthetic point of view and emphasizes the landscape architectural identity and traditional idiosyncrasy in Korea society. There should be established independent official positions in governmental systems in order to work practically in the field of landscape architecture concerned with ecological and environmental stability. Professionals should be acquired and diversity maintained for administrative efficiency, so that the governmental official position could create practical need and a theoretical approach to the human needs for environmental quality and ecological stability. In order to pursue the public good, we need to establish a new community and promote a global spirit, which include an ecologically stable environment developed through professional landscape architectural harmonization. The landscape architectural profession requires a new community spirit suitable to modern society, so that the Korean people continue a tradition of cooperative control of the common wealth and the labor market.

This essay addresses the role of environmental aesthetics in landscape architecture : how can environmental aesthetics enrich landscape architectural theory and practice\ulcorner It begins by criticizing the predominant notions toward theory : theory as an instrumental design method, theoretical vacuum in modernism of landscape architecture, and the intimate relation of theory and practice in 18th-century England. It suggests that the expulsion of theory in landscape architectural academics and profession is nothing but an inappropriate bias. In the second place, the essay explores a remaining question : why environmental aesthetics is a part of landscape architectural theory\ulcorner I would argue that environmental aesthetics can transcend the man-nature(subject-object) dichotomy, one of heritages of Western modernity project. Here, landscape architecture meets environmental aesthetics, and both can intermediate between theory and practice. For landscape architecture is (and ought to be) a device of embodied communication, creating symbolic settings wherein an interconnection of man and nature can occur. Finally, this essay examines the aesthetics of engagement that Arnold Berleant claimed recently. This theory of aesthetic experience has a possibility of making corrections some improper conventions in landscape architectural creation and appreciation : disinterested contemplation, visual-orientedness, decoration-denteredness, and so forth. I would conclude that environmental aesthetics can be a significant theory which can correct misconceptions in landscape design and appreciation and, further, can lead contemporary practice. As the great mediator between man and nature, between theory and practice, environmental aesthetics has a profound role to play in the realm of landscape architecture, and vice versa.

This study Is about the situation of contemporary landscape architecture design in Korea. The conceptual framework of interpretation for landscape architectural works is formulated to define the design trends of today′s professional works The study′s analytical method is composed of the survey of attitudes questionnaire, the analysis of design composition techniques and conclusions drawn from the comments of contemporary landscape architectural critics. Among 975 members of the Korean Institute of Landscape Architecture, 318 professionals responded to the survey questionnaire. The survey revealed that landscape architects in Korea are concerned about the profession′s reduced contributions to the sharping of the built environment. However, they are optimistic about its future. Ten top design works were selected from the surveys′ answers and were analyzed for the design characteristics which could best represent the trends of the last thirty years. Several design critiques and comments about the professional works were cited to reinforce the outlined "-ty" of the contemporary design phenomena. The study identified the following distinguished design trends of contemporary Korean landscape architectural works They are as follows: Themelessty, Powerity, Traditionality, Monumentality, Non-contextuality and Over-designity. These trends identify the overall prevailing conditions of Korean landscape architectural design over the past thirty years.

The modern landscape architectural profession and education of Korea was established in the early 1970s. The former president Park Chung-Hee was a main axis in this process of establishment. This paper critically examines Park Chung-Hee's thoughts on landscape architecture. It can show us the functional relationship between his thoughts and the beginning of the history of modem landscape architecture in Korea. The close relationship between Park Chung-Hee and Korean landscape architecture can be interpreted as double sides. First, landscape architecture was a matter of great interest for Park Chung-Hee. His involvement of landscape architecture went well beyond that of an amateur. Second, landscape architecture was a strategic instrument for practicing his political policy of economic development and nationalism. There are three remarkable tendencies in his thoughts on landscape architecture. First, he regarded that the main role of landscape architecture was to cover and to decorate damaged sites. Second, he had a contradictory notion of tradition and history. Last, the European pastoral ideal was his criterion for the beauty of landscape. His thoughts on landscape architecture were an amalgamation of these three contradictory ideas, and it has left some controversial inheritances for contemporary landscape architecture.

최근의 국제화시대를 맞이하여 한국의 건축교육과 직능분야는 많은 문제를 떠안게 되었다. 그 이유는 두가지로 대별된다. 하나는 내부적인 요인으로 교육부가 그동안 학부제를 전면 실시하게 된 것이 원인이다. 학부제에 의하면 대부분의 대학은 이전보다 적절한 전문교육을 제공하기에는 매우 많은 어려움에 직면하기 때문이다. 그리고 다른 하나는 외부적인 요인으로 볼 수 있다. WTO의 출범과 함께 국제건축가연맹(UIA)은 $\ulcorner$건축실무 프로페셔널리즘의 국제장려기준에 관한 UIA 협정안$\lrcorner$을 채택한 바 있다. 이 협정안에 의하면 건축교육은 인가받은 학교에서 전일제 수업기준 최소 5년을 요구하고 있다. 그래서 만약 이 협정안이 예정대로 금년 6월 북경대회에서 채택되면 한국은 건축교육에서 매우 난처한 문제에 직면하게 될 것 같다. 왜냐하면, 현재와 같은 제도로는 새로운 기준을 충족시키기가 어려울 것으로 예상되기 때문이다. 현재의 제도에서는 교육과정이 전문가 자격증과는 관계가 없으므로, 건축과 졸업생들은 설계, 구조, 시공, 설비 등 다양한 분야로 진출할 수 있었다. 그러나 만약 UIA 의정서나 엔지니어링 인증제도가 동시에 건축교육에 요구된다면, 현재와 같은 교육제도로는 새로운 두가지 기준을 동시에 만족시키는 것이 쉽지는 않을 것이다. 이 연구 논문에서는 국내외 건축교육제도의 이해와 분석을 근거로 우리의 전통적 제도가 갖는 특징을 장점으로 간주하면서 국제화의 기준에 맞는 교육모형을 제안해 보려고 한다.
