地綠天藍：邁向二十一世紀全球大學的地景專業通才教育

Land Blue and Green: Toward a 'Landscape Generalist' Education at a Global University in the 21st Century

本文期待,在二十一世紀的破曉，開啟地景專業通才教育的對話。本文是回應畢生推創“專業通才”教育的建築與城鄉研究所王鴻楷教授，在環境規劃與設計教育領域的執著及努力。本文對於地景專業通才教育的想像，浮現自放眼望去，天地一線相連的綠地藍天。藍天象徵著我們頭頂上的全球化的天空；綠地則代表著我們腳下踩踏著的被全球暖化所衝擊超過一個世代以上的大地。身為一個地景教育者，我建議我們的設計學程與教學法研究應該與全球化的藍天及生態綠地緊密結合。立基於綠地藍天的雙元想像，本文著墨於高等教育中，注重國際化的全球大學新趨勢，如何為建築與城鄉研究所的地景專業通才教育開啟了新的實驗：全球在地化永續地景學程。本文建議研擬並實驗“全球在地化永續地景學程”，可以成為未來在建築與城鄉所中對地景有興趣的同學之選修課程之藍圖。更重要的是，希望藉著這個實驗性學程，同學們可以描摹自己的綠地藍天。

My article initiates a dialogue for nurturing ”landscape generalists” at a global university in the 21st century. I hope this article sets off the dialogue for the landscape generalist imagination in the Graduate Institute of Building and Planning, in response to Professor Wang's life long commitment to developing the education of professional generalists in the field of environmental planning and design.The imagination of the landscape generalist education merges from our vision of beholding land and sky: the blue sky and green land merges from the horizon in the dawn of the 21st century. Blue sky symbolizes the transnational sky above us in the era of globalization; green land represents the ecological earth underneath our feet that has been threatened by the global warming phenomenon for more than a decade. As a landscape educator, I suggest that we evolve our design curriculum and pedagogical research according to the transnational blue sky and ecological green land.Based on the dual blue-green imagination, my article elaborates on how the international trend in higher education of moving into global universities, opens up new opportunities for the Building and Planning Graduate Institute to develop the Glocal Sustainable Landscape curriculum for educating landscape generalists. I propose the Glocal Sustainable Landscape curriculum as an alternative experiment for the Institute. My hope is that students will encounter a bigger world and redefine their blue sky and green land in their own terms.
