A scene imprinted on my memory

4

When the environment is meaningful man feels ‘at home”.

The places where we have grown up are such “homes”.

A phenomenology of natural place ought to take these mythologies as its point of departure; 환경의시작은신화학으로부터!!

In general any understanding of the natural environment grows out of a primeval experience of nature as a multitude of living “forces”; 환경의시작인신화학은태고적부터존재한수많은생명들의힘들로부터출발

A scene imprinted on my memory(cont.)

5

The marriage between heaven and earth forms the point of departure for the further differentiation of “things”; 신화의시작과서비스의차별화는하늘과땅의결혼으로부터

The mountain, thus, beiongs to the earth, but it rises towards the sky. It is “high”, it is close to heaven, it is a meeting place where the two basic elements come together. Mountains were therefore considered “centres” through which the axis mundi goes, … a spot where one can pass from one cosmic zone to another; 산은 지에뿌리를두면서하늘에맞닿아있기에세계축을통과하는중심이며, 현재의우주적인지역에서다른우주적인지역으로통과할수있는공간임

The basic categories of concrete natural understanding(cont.)

7

2가지측면• Thing and order: spatial (공간적측면)• Character and light: general atmosphere of a place (일반적분위기측면)

2가지차원• Thing and character: dimensions of the earth ( 지의차원)• Order and light: determined by the sky (하늘에의해결정되는차원)

The basic categories of concrete natural understanding(cont.)

8

Time• The dimension of constancy and change (항상성과변화의차원)

• Makes space and character parts of a living reality (공간과성격을살아있는실체의한부분으로만든다.)

• At any moment is given as a particular place, as a genius loci (어떤순간에특별한장소를제공하는즉장소의혼으로서제공된다.)

Things

9

The first mode of natural understanding takes the forcesas its point of departure and relates them to concrete natural elements or “things”. (자연을이해하는첫번째양식은구체적인자연요소들이나사물들과관계하고있는그힘들로부터출발한다.)

Cosmic order

20

The second mode of natural understanding consists in abstracting a systematic cosmic order from the flux of occurrences. (자연을이해하는두번째양식은사건의흐름으로부터체계적인우주적질서를뽑아내는데있다.)

질서의기초• 태양의행로 (예) 고 이집트는태양이뜨는방향인동쪽은탄생과생명의영역으로, 서쪽은죽음의영역으로간주

Character

21

The third mode of natural understanding consists in the definition of the character of natural places, relating them to basic human traits. (자연을이해하는세번째양식은자연장소의성격을정의하는데존재하고있으며, 이것은기본적인인간의속성과관계되어있다.)

성격의추상화는그리이스인들의성과물이며, 명확하게는바로그리이스경관의구조에의해서가능• 각각의경관은뚜렷하게경계지어져있으며, 개성을가지고있음

Light

25

But nature also comprises a fourth category of phenomena which are less palpable. (감지하기힘든현상으로서 4번째범주)

고 인: 일반적인개념보다사물로서, 태양에주의집중

그리이스인: 문명에서빛은지적이고예술적인지식의상징

Time; temporal rhythms

26

Light is intimately connected with the temporal rhythms(시간적리듬) of nature which form a fifth dimension of understanding.

다른자연현상들처럼질적이고구체화된것으로간주 자연의생명뿐만아니라인간의삶의주기나리듬에서도경험되어지는것으로간주

Complex landscape

28

The romantic, cosmic and classical landscapes are archetypes of natural place. (낭만적이고우주적이며고전적인경관들은자연장소의원형들이다.)

As types, however, they hardly appear in ‘pure” form, but participate in various kinds of syntheses.

Classical landscape

33

Monotony(단조로움)• Clearly defined hills and mountains which are rarely covered by the

shaggy woods of the North, clearly delimited, imageable natural spaces such as valleys and basins, which appear as individual “worlds”. (북부지방의털이많은나무들로멋있게뒤덮인명확하게한정된언덕과산들, 즉개별적인세계들로서나타나는계곡과분지같은명확하게한정되고상상가능한자연적공간을말한다.)

• A meaningful order of distinct, individual places. (분명하고개별적인장소들의의미있는질서)

• Hardly “used” in the Nordic sense of “going into nature”. (“자연으로돌아간다”는북부지방의의미로는 “사용되어지지않는다”.)
