Abstract
This paper includes four projects: I. Environment and Resource: When nature is treated as an object carrying value, it can be seen from two perspectives: one is to treat nature as resource, and the other is to treat nature as environment. The view that nature was merely resource should be changed. We can only make use of natural resources to a certain degree, and we should pay more attention to the protection of natural environment, because it is our home. II. To Live and To Live Happily: The primary function of home is for us to live in. By the term of ”live in,” there are three levels: (1) Suitable habitation, (2) Beneficial habitation, (3) Enjoyable habitation. Suitable habitation emphasizes the ecological aspect of an environment; beneficial habitation emphasizes utility; and only enjoyable habitation emphasizes emotion. The emotional recognition means that the city seems to be emotionally connected to its residents, and it feels pleasant and enjoyable to live in it. III. Engineering and Landscape: Engineering is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it contributes to the construction of environment; on the other hand, it destroys environment. For the viewpoint of environmental aesthetics, I propose the perspective of ”turning the engineering into landscapes.” The relation between utility and the aesthetic is one of the basic questions in aesthetics. The union between engineering and landscape embodies this question in environmental aesthetics. IV. Environmental Protection and Environmental Aesthetics: Actually, environmental aesthetics is environmental protectionology. I tentatively propose the concept of ”aesthetic environmental protection.” Protection without the guidance of aesthetics is just the low level environmental protection. Moreover, it might even cause other environmental deconstruction. Environmental education is an important part of civil education. It is not only the education of environmental protection but also the education of environmental aesthetics.
