設計的庭園遍及全球各地,他總可以從天
然材料中發掘出精妙的細節。作為柏傲山的園境設
計師,
Shunmyo Masuno
在此分享他對整個項目
的創作意念
。
你在柏傲山有怎樣的規劃?
生活在現代都市中的人無可避免需要面對各種壓力,
家應該是一個可以讓你恢復元氣的地方。當你的居住
空間環繞著流水、樹木、石頭、天空與陽光,你才能
擁有健康的生活。我嘗試創造一個精神和物質世界都
同樣豐富的園境,希望住在這裡的人都能獲得精神上
的最大滿足。
你希望帶給住客怎樣的體驗?
我運用植物、山石與流水聲,去創造一個人與自然和諧共
生的空間,希望設計能在不知不覺間淨化住客的心靈。
你覺得住客應該如何欣賞庭園?
禪式庭園並不存在一種既定的欣賞標準。你需要親身去
體悟那些永恆之道,以及庭園佈局背後的真諦。
What have you planned for
THE PAVILIA HILL
?
People living in an urban environment have
to cope with various stresses. Home should
be a place to refresh yourself. You should be
surrounded by natural elements such as water,
trees, stones, the sky and sunlight, which help
people to lead a healthy life. I am trying to create
a landscape with a richness of spirituality as well
as a richness of materials. I hope that people
living here will live with a spiritual satisfaction.
What experience do you hope to create for
the residents?
I have included elements that will change
residents’ mood and mind naturally, as they
come and go across the garden. Those
elements include the planting, the use of stones
and the sound of running water. I have tried to
create a space in which people can live together
with nature.
How are residents expected to approach
the garden?
There is no rule for appreciating a Zen garden.
The viewers must feel the unchanging truths
with their hearts, to discover the reasoning
behind the configurations.
