Abstract
Landscape is a popular genre of visual arts. Artists translate their embodied experiences into images to express their admiration for nature. Now, landscapes in urban spaces are no longer natural but artificial. This research aims to understand what constitutes artificial landscapes. Therefore, the paper proposes the landscape seeing, an art-based approach that emphasises the embodied experience of the environment and seeks to recognise beyond forms. The paper has three parts. It first discusses the nature of artificial landscapes from the urban design point of view by comparing the cultural significance of artificial and natural landscapes. The next part discusses the imagery representations of landscapes, encompassing a geographic study of visual experiences of urban parks and a historical study of landscape paintings. These studies establish a foundation for the landscape seeing practice. The last part analyses the 3D point cloud scanning and visualisation of Nam Cheong Park inspired by the painting style and observational technique of the 20th-century Chinese open-air paintings. By adopting the landscape seeing approach, this paper suggests a novel understanding of artificial landscapes beyond traditional analytical and retrospective studies in urban planning, geography, and art history.
