Abstract
Abstract Productive green community spaces are currently the subject of extensive academic discussion. Scholars from diverse fields explore this phenomenon from social, economic, political and planning perspectives. Yet, the aesthetic dimension of such sites has remained outside the academic purview, while giving rise to public debate and critique. This paper addresses the lacuna by examining productive green community spaces in Israel to contribute to the contemporary discourse on aesthetics and community gardens. Three theoretical frameworks for aesthetics serve as the basis of our investigation: the intrinsic value of nature, experience beyond the visual towards the ethical and cues of care. Our analysis regards fourteen productive green community spaces, established in 2017 and 2018, that seem messy and unordered at first sight. We identified six constituents to establish the aesthetic merits of the gardens: expressions of social and cultural characteristics, cues of care through organization of space, presence of nonhuman lives, embodied experience, change over time (dynamics) and ethical expressions.
期刊介绍：
JoLA is the academic Journal of the European Council of Landscape Architecture Schools (ECLAS), established in 2006. It is published three times a year. JoLA aims to support, stimulate, and extend scholarly debate in Landscape Architecture and related fields. It also gives space to the reflective practitioner and to design research. The journal welcomes articles addressing any aspect of Landscape Architecture, to cultivate the diverse identity of the discipline. JoLA is internationally oriented and seeks to both draw in and contribute to global perspectives through its four key sections: the ‘Articles’ section features both academic scholarship and research related to professional practice; the ‘Under the Sky’ section fosters research based on critical analysis and interpretation of built projects; the ‘Thinking Eye’ section presents research based on thoughtful experimentation in visual methodologies and media; the ‘Review’ section presents critical reflection on recent literature, conferences and/or exhibitions relevant to Landscape Architecture.
