Surrealism was the twentieth century’s longest lasting art movement in the arts. It explored the mysterious dream world of the unconscious mind. Surrealist works depict a familiar yet alien world of dreamlike serenity and nightmarish fantasy, and their legacy pervades much of contemporary art, literature, film and popular culture. As a representation of irrational aesthetics in the modern art trends, it is worthwhile to study the influence and construction of Surrealism in modern landscape architecture. This paper explores the modern landscape form under the influence of Surrealism Art by analyzing and investigating the intrinsic relationship between Surrealist Art and the modern landscape architecture. Besides that, this paper described the connection between surreal spirit and Chinese landscape architecture design term metaphor of “presence”.

AbstractThe book’s introduction, Landscape as Development, introduces the distinct positions of critic and planner in development and offers initial justifications for a “critical” practice of ecological planning, as construed by landscape architecture. Landscape architecture has the most substantial ecological mandate among its sister disciplines of architecture and urban planning and has made significant recent historical contributions to development planning, including being the origin of modern landscape ecology and geographic information systems science. In order to become “critical,” landscape architecture, as planning, must recognize the contradictions between urban or economic sustainability and the critical social theory undercurrents in sustainable development. We introduce a working definition of “critical landscape planning” as it is developed throughout the book: A practice of critical landscape planning, routed in landscape architecture, uses multiple forms of sustainability to plan for landscapes engaging in (or encountering) development. The critical landscape planner holds a cultural-technological position and simultaneously applies science to specific site conditions, is critical of that science, and in the process and practice of applying it, refines and deepens the relevant scope of work. This introduction finishes by covering the structure of this book.

Despite the recent complex reconstruction in Azerbaijan, public spaces, parks and boulevards still do not fully respond to inclusivity. A long-term comprehensive action plan should be developed, and targeted actions should be undertaken to address these short comings. Thus, in order to achieve full accessibility, equipment and construction should be carried out not only in parks, but also in public spaces, taking into account the needs and interests of people with different categories of disability. It is also necessary to improve the regulatory framework, to promote public awareness, to develop a positive attitude towards physically challenged people, and to train new generations of professionals to take action to ensure a high level of working on this field in the future.

Статья представляет собой аналитический обзор последних трех выпусков «Журнала ландшафтной архитектуры» (Journal of Lanscape Architecture), каждый из которых был посвящен определенной теме. Первый выпуск 2019 г. освещает тему так называемого компактного города, второй посвящен проблеме взаимодействия специалистов разного профиля в области ландшафтной архитектуры и садово-паркового дизайна, наконец, статьи третьего номера журнала рассматривают феномен современной ландшафтной архитектуры в свете актуальной социополитической проблематики. Автор останавливается на наиболее интересных, с его точки зрения, примерах интерпретации данных тем в статьях, освещающих опыт садовых мастеров и ландшафтных архитекторов, работающих в разных концах европейского континента, а также Америки и азиатского региона. Так, проблема компактного города нашла отражение в статье Р. Хаутамэки о Хельсинкском городском плане 2016 г. и исследовании Б. Маркес, Ж. Мак Интош, У. Хэттона и Д. Шэнона «Бикультурные ландшафты и экологическая реставрация в компактном городе: случай Зеландии как устойчивой экосистемы». Тему взаимодействия специалистов разных отраслей в области ландшафтного дизайна поднимают Б. Миллигэен в статье «Создание ландшафта: геодезия, дроны и медиаэкология» и Ж.-Ф. де Више в исследовании, посвященном террилям Шарлеруа. Роль социополитического аспекта в развитии ландшафтной архитектуры отмечена в статьях К. Даннеелс «Наступление природы: социобиологическая теория и практика Луи ван дер Свельмена» и Н. Гулсруд, посвятившего свое исследование открывшемуся в 2009 г. нью-йоркскому парку Хай Лайн. This analytical review concerns the last three issues of the “Journal of Landscape Architecture”. Each of them was dedicated to a specific topic. The 1st issue for 2019 covers the topic of the so-called compact city, the 2nd concerns the problem of interaction of different specialists in the field of landscape architecture and garden design, and finally, the articles of the 3rd issue consider the phenomenon of modern landscape architecture in the light of the socio-political issues of today. The author focuses on the most interesting, from his point of view, examples of interpretation of these topics in articles covering the experience of garden masters and landscape architects working in different parts of the European continent, as well as America and the Asian region. Thus, the problem of a “compact city” is reflected in the article by R. Hautameki on the Helsinki city plan 2016 and the study by B. Marquez, J. Mac Intosh, W. Hatton and D. Shannon “Bicultural landscapes and ecological restoration in a compact city: the case of Zealand as a sustainable ecosystem”. The topic of interaction between specialists from different industries in the field of landscape design is raised by B. Milligaen in the article “Creating a landscape: geodesy, drones and media ecology” and J.-F. de Viche in a study on the Charleroi terrilles. The role of the sociopolitical aspect in the development of landscape architecture is noted in the articles by K. Daneels “The Onset of nature: the sociobiological theory and practice of Louis van der Svelmen” and N. Gulsrud, who devoted his research to the New York High Line Park, which was opened in 2009.
