Multidisciplinary Approaches to Archaeological Site Landscape Perception Education

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of landscape design education within the context of archaeological sites, employing a multidisciplinary approach. To enhance students' intrinsic perceptual abilities in archaeological site landscape design, the study focuses on a developmental pathway that integrates practical and theoretical aspects of real-site perception. The article explores the transition in landscape perception from a Western anthropocentric perspective to an Eastern nature-integrated viewpoint, emphasizing the significance of phenomenological pedagogical approaches in understanding archaeological sites and the crucial role of human sensory perception. The pedagogical method of this study aims to cultivate holistic design thinking and sustainable thinking among landscape design students, highlighting the importance of ecological and cultural factors in archaeological site landscape design education. The paper proposes a paradigm shift towards a holistic understanding and synthesis of landscape design, supported by archaeological site case studies, thereby providing new educational insights for fields such as archaeology, environmental archaeology, and cultural heritage management.
