Abstract This article aims to show the reciprocal significance of space to human conscience and vice versa. We argue that human conscience is equally founded on external, spatial relations rather than strictly internal states or processes, and we apply the concept of ‘conscience’ to the landscape (‘landscape conscience’). Through an extensive literature review of relevant scientific fields, the article builds its argument for the spatiality of conscience beyond its previously strictly anthropocentric emphasis as a purely internal phenomenon, towards a more contingent and comprehensive approach to its study as a humans-space/landscape interrelationship. Further, we aim to elucidate the ways in which ‘landscape’ is amenable to—and consequently may profit from—the employment of the concept and insights of ‘conscience’. The interconnections and interlinkages of the three broadly defined domains/spheres of human faculties/capacities (perception, emotion, behaviour) in formulating and linking together human interrelations to the surrounding world, emerge as inherently instrumental to conscience formation.

Abstract This article looks at the ecological turn in the landscape professions and argues that such a shift requires a new conception of the role of the landscape practitioner: Drawing on ecology and phenomenology, I am proposing that landscape practitioners adopt the posture of participants within dynamic, evolving milieus. To this end, I offer two examples: Egbert Bodmann, from the landscape park Duisburg-Nord, and Cassian Schmidt, head of the garden Hermannshof. I argue that the way of seeing and working they embody requires capacities that are currently dispersed across different disciplines and roles within the professional field, such as ecology, horticulture, and landscape architecture. Drawing on practice-led research, I specify my proposal using detailed scenes that flesh out an approach that not only bridges, but mingles these disciplines, and is thus receptive to the dynamic development of ecologies.

Abstract Landscape theory has frequently been used as a base for scrutinising landscape characterisation and landscape analysis. However, this paper argues that if we aim to understand action-oriented methods for landscape analysis, then landscape needs to be decentred in favour of studies of the enactment of the landscape-project interplay. Relational ontology offers a fruitful ground for such examinations. Following a conceptual discussion, the paper draws on an in-depth interview with a senior landscape architect on his practise. The conversation captures how a complex set of theories on landscape, planning, methodology etc. is informing his methodological approach. Second, the interview shows how he centres the unfolding of relations through which the project and landscape can be understood, to identify what matters for the siting of the project. While this methodology remains constant, it requires different ways to enact landscape. This calls for further studies of the relational nature of such methodologies.

Abstract The growing interest in Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and Indigenous worldviews has refocused attention on land and resource management systems as well as local knowledge of flora and fauna. As Western medicine often ignores the spiritual and mental intricacies of health, finding a balance between Western and Non-Western knowledge is vital to creating a culturally and ecologically responsive environment. This paper addresses the growing interest in TEK as a catalyst for urban landscape regeneration by incorporating the biophysical dimensions of place and environment. It explores the proposed design of a Māori Rongoā learning garden in a public space in the city of Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. By identifying opportunities in designing plant collections and issues for plant harvesting, this paper aids the discourse on potential cultural collisions and strategies for both reconnecting with Indigenous people but also connecting non-Indigenous people to the natural surroundings.

Abstract Restorative landscapes provide people with the opportunity to experience nature. This pilot study aimed to determine whether cultural differences affect psychological and physiological responses to restorative landscapes. Two populations, one in Taiwan and one in Sweden, were experimentally compared by showing them photos of restorative landscapes from each country. The results showed that restorativeness was affected more by photos of the restorative landscape in Sweden than in Taiwan. The results showed that restorativeness in terms of psychological and physiological responses was affected. A significant variation in heart rate was observed between the populations: Taiwanese participants experienced higher heart rates when viewing unfamiliar and novel scenery when compared to Swedish participants. No significant differences between the populations were observed regarding attention capacity, working memory, and muscle tension. The psychological and physiological responses to the two countries’ distinctive restorative landscapes may have implications for designing such landscapes in urban green spaces.

Abstract Water structures are sites of collective memory and have a vital role in providing ecosystem services in India. An alternative model of water sensitive urban design based upon the conceptual framework of regenerative urbanism is proposed in Ayodhya, a pilgrim town in Northern India. Reclamation of water bodies is salient to planning the soft infrastructure of blue-greenways for regenerating degraded sites and prevents loss of collective memories and place rituals, both significant forms of intangible heritage. With a focus on the urban periphery of Ayodhya, the article discusses water structures as sites of mythic memory, their current condition and context, and their potential as nodes in community spaces and green corridors of pilgrim movement.

Abstract The article investigates the difficult and controversial landscape of Taranto, a recently industrialised city of southern Italy, which in the last 70 years has undergone dramatic changes. We analyse what the landscape is in material, cultural, and symbolic terms, what it does, and what it means in and for Taranto. In particular, by analysing bibliographic, cartographic, and audiovisual sources, we trace the evolution of contemporary Taranto, indicating the main factors which enabled its material transformation during the second half of the twentieth century. Then, we reflect on how the landscape has been shaped in different times and at different scales through dominant narratives and counter-narratives. Finally, we identify specific elements of Taranto’s landscape and their symbolic meaning. The study offers a paradigmatic case of a flickering landscape, modified by political forces and cultural constructs.

Abstract Landscape heritage is frequently contested as perspectives on heritage and landscape may vary across stakeholders. The present article makes a novel contribution by examining pathways to landscape heritage contestation. We propose a distinction between (a) heritage as object in matterscape, being the physical landscape out-there, (b) heritage as meaning in mindscape, being the landscape as experienced by a subject, and (c) heritage as political act in powerscape, being the landscape as rules that organise behaviour. Contestation, then, might originate in matterscape, mindscape, or powerscape. We illustrate these pathways to contestation upon analyses of semi-structured interviews among stakeholders of Schokland, The Netherlands, a World Heritage site. Findings reveal contestation about matterscape pertaining to the issue whether a water system leads to wet spots on adjacent agricultural land, about mindscape pertaining to the beauty of new nature developed around Schokland, and powerscape pertaining to the rules associated with the World Heritage status.
