名作的存亡引发的对植物设计的思考

国际风景园林设计大师丹•凯利的名作——美国佛罗里达州坦帕市国家银行公园，在1988年初建时成为获奖名作，但今天却面临被拆除的境地，其中，高密度的种植设计是其衰败的主要原因之一。坦帕市国家银行公园的衰败，证明图案式高密度种植是一种反生态的种植，景观单一，养护费昂贵。而且工程建设投资大，是一种短期行为，给政府带来极大的负担。该文针对目前园林中盛行的这种种植方式提出自己的看法，以引起大家对这种种植方式的关注。

Reflection on Plant Design Viewed from the Destiny of a Masterpiece

North Carolina National Bank (NCNB) Plaza garden in Tampa, American, designed by Dan Kiley, the world famous landscape architecture designer, was once believed to be a masterpiece that won design awards in the first years after its opening to the public in 1988.However,16 years later, it is facing the problem of being removed. High density planting is obviously one of the reasons leading to the NCNB Plaza garden’s failure, which proves that the planting pattern, requiring meticulous maintenance and huge investment, is un_ecological, monotonous, and short_lived. Based on what we can learn from this lesson and the prevailing misled practice in planting design, the paper holds that the extreme model of “big tree transplanting” and “massive lawn growing” in garden plant design should be avoided.
