Townscape (English spelling)

Japanese: タウンスケープ(英語表記)townscape
Townscape (English spelling)
A view or view of a city. A concept that captures the landscape from the visual and cultural elements of a city, used mainly in the fields of architecture and urban engineering. The term first appeared in English in 1880, when it was used to describe a painting of a city in contrast to a landscape painting. In Townscape (1961), Karen G. Cullen defined townscape as a three-dimensional spatial composition created by the gathering of multiple buildings, as well as trees, water, transportation, and advertisements, and proposed a technique for "relat-ing" the various components of the urban landscape to achieve visual pleasure.

Japanese:
都市の光景または眺望。視覚的,文化的な都市の諸要素から景観をとらえた概念で,おもに建築学,都市工学の分野で用いられる。1880年,風景画landscapeに対比して都市を描いた画題をこう呼んだのが英語の初出。カレンG.Cullenは《タウンスケープ》(1961)の中で,複数の建物,さらに樹木や水,交通,広告物などが集合することによって作り出される三次元の空間構成をタウンスケープと定義づけ,都市景観の構成諸要素を“関係づけて”,視覚的な喜びを実現するための技法を提唱した。
