Mapping 在设计探索中应用：广州市南沙区圩田景观的城镇化

Mapping as a Design Exploration Tool: Urbanization of the Polder Landscape in Nansha, Guangzhou

摘要:

针对复杂当代景观中Mapping 应用研究不足的现状，以广州市南沙区圩田景观城镇化转型设计为例，探讨宏观与微观尺度Mapping 在景观认知与设计中的探索性作用。在宏观尺度，使用模式语言提取场地现存景观模式，得到3 种城镇化策略；运用“通过设计之研究”方法模拟不同策略组合下的未来景观格局，评估显示传统圩田结构优先情景最具生态可持续性。在微观尺度，从人的视角开展行走调研和Mapping 绘制，揭示场地空间特征与地方知识。综合双尺度研究提出南沙区传统景观结构与未来城市功能结合的策略模块，形成总体设计。研究表明，Mapping 为场地研究和设计探索提供了可视化载体，使设计策略在场地信息挖掘与连接过程中生成，其作为场地认知与设计媒介的应用价值得到验证。

Abstract:

In response to the limited application of mapping in complex contemporary landscapes, this study examines how mapping can support landscape perception and design accross macro and micro scales. Using the urbanization transformation of the polder landscape in Nansha District, Guangzhou, as a case study, the research applied pattern language to extract existing landscape structures and identify three urbanization strategies. Through the Research through Design (RtD) approach, simulations of combined scenarios indicated that prioritizing traditional polder structures leads to greater ecological sustainability. At the micro scale, walking-based surveys and human-perspective mapping were used to reveal spatial features and local knowledge. By integrating findings from both scales, a strategic design framework was proposed to reconcile traditional landscape structures with modern urban functions. This study demonstrates that mapping serves not merely as a means of representation but as an exploratory design medium—enabling strategies to emerge through iterative investigation of site-specific data—thereby affirming its practical value in contemporary landscape planning.
