Residential landscapes—Garden Design, urban planning and social formation in Belgium
Urban Forestry & Urban Greening, 2018Co-Authors: Bruno NotteboomAbstract:Abstract This paper aims at providing a historical understanding of the role of Gardens and green spaces in urbanization and urban planning, as well as in processes of social formation and social mobility that took place on the background of a changing spatial, socio-economical and political context in Belgium in the period 1889–1940. The research is based on a number of case studies, which represent different stages and themes in the evolution of Garden Design, urban planning and society: 1) vernacular versus Designed Gardens and landscapes; 2) the popularization of the Garden and the development of a new framework for urban planning; 3) the Garden city versus private arcadia and 4) modern Garden Design and the rise of the middle class (1930–1940). Through an analysis of Designs and discourses of, amongst others, leading landscape architects/urban planners Louis Van der Swaelmen, Jules Buyssens and Jean Canneel-Claes, the paper exposes a number of ambiguities and tensions, for example between the ‘vernacular Garden’ and the ‘Garden of the establishment’ and between the deep-rooted dream of a privately owned house and Garden, and attempts to create new social and spatial frameworks that surpass the individual lot. The paper concludes that these tensions can still be traced in the context in which landscape Designers and urban planners work today. This historical awareness, however, can help them to set out strategic goals for the contemporary Garden as a place of both production and consumption, and as a place where social identity is shaped.

le nouveau jardin pittoresque ethics aesthetics and Garden Design in belgium 1913 1940
Journal of Landscape Architecture, 2012Co-Authors: Bruno NotteboomAbstract:Le Nouveau Jardin Pittoresque (The New Picturesque Garden) association was founded in 1913 to ‘renew and popularize Garden art’ in Belgium. Originally, the emancipation of the lower classes was put forward as an important task; the association acted as a platform for those who were interested in the ethical role of Garden Design. Taking its journal Le Nouveau Jardin Pittoresque as the main source, this article investigates what was understood by the ‘new picturesque Garden’ , why this type of Garden was considered a suitable instrument for popularization and how the addressed audience evolved. The main argument is that the focus of Le Nouveau Jardin Pittoresque shifted from ethics to aesthetics during the interwar period. Under the impulse of landscape architect Jules Buyssens the emphasis moved towards the Design of private Gardens for the emerging middle class and away from the social role of the Garden in the city.

Unearthing the creative thinking process: fresh insights from a think aloud study of Garden Design
Psychology of Aesthetics Creativity and the Arts, 2017Co-Authors: Andrew Pringle, Paul T. SowdenAbstract:A number of theories of creativity have converged on the idea that creative thinking entails shifting between different processes. We attempt to build on recent theoretical developments through empirical work to examine creativity in the everyday environment of a Garden Designer. We asked Designers with different levels of expertise, a matched group of fine artists and a non-Designer, non-artist control group to work on a Garden Design. We asked them to ‘think aloud’ as they Designed and we recorded audio and video. We coded resultant verbal segments as indicating the operation of different types of underlying thinking process identified in recent theoretical work. We then mapped these segments to the video of the Designs and conducted Markov chain analysis to explore how thinking processes shifted as the Design evolved. Finally, we examined the extent to which different types of thinking process shifts predicted the creativity of the final Garden Designs as determined by experts. We found that shifts between associative and analytic thinking processes predicted Design creativity, but only when the operation of these two processes were tightly coupled in time. The positive association between shifting and creativity was strongest when analytic thinking processed affective content. These types of shifting were also elevated at times when a subset of participants switched between working on different Designs; a strategy that positively predicted Design creativity. Findings suggest expansion of mode shifting theories of creative thinking to include the importance of close coupling between different modes of thinking and of an analytic mode processing affective content.

Exploring social and cultural norms to promote ecologically sensitive residential Garden Design
Landscape and Urban Planning, 2015Co-Authors: Hannah V. Uren, Peta Dzidic, Brian BishopAbstract:Abstract Western Australia (WA) is experiencing severe water shortages associated with a drying climate. Suburban Gardens in and around WA's capital city of Perth however, continue to be dominated by water dependent European style Gardens featuring green lawns and introduced species. One area in metropolitan Perth going against this norm is the local government district of Fremantle. Residents within this city council have shown widespread adoption of native Gardens: a seemingly obvious means of reducing water use and increasing local biodiversity. In an endeavour to understand the differences in Garden Design preferences, the aim of this research was to explore cultural and psychological drivers of native Gardening within the city of Fremantle. Twelve in-depth, face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted with Fremantle homeowners. Participants had converted their Garden from a traditional European Design in favour of an aesthetic based on native species. Drivers such as knowledge, functionality, and social norms emerged, and interestingly resembled the same sorts of drivers previously identified as driving European style Gardening practices in Australia. We account for the tension of same drivers yet different Design due to differences in social and cultural values. Specifically, the dominant worldview in Fremantle is pro-environmental and this driver appears to shape the social context in which Gardening decisions are made, making for a more accepting setting for residents to adopt alternative Garden Designs. Findings from this research are of value to water and environmental policy makers, urban local governments, and environmental educators.
