    sustainability Article Intrinsic Value and Perceived Essentialism of Culture Heritage Sites as Tools for Planning Interventions Magdalena Roszczynska-Kurasinska 1,* , Anna Domaradzka 1 , Anna Wnuk 1 and Tomasz Oleksy 2 1 Robert Zajonc Institute for Social Studies, University of Warsaw, 00-183 Warszawa, Poland; [email protected] (A.D.); [email protected] (A.W.) 2 Faculty of Psychology, University of Warsaw, 00-183 Warszawa, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In order to remain alive and relevant, cultural heritage sites have to react and adapt to changing context in a coherent manner, i.e., in a way that is in line with the memory and identity of the place. The incoherent changes, i.e., the transformations that according to the local community do not agree with a character of a place, can be destructive for the long-term vitality of urban cultural heritage. In this study, we test which factors influence social acceptance of different alternations within the context of urban historical gardens that might, in turn, ensure the resilience of the place. Our study focuses on the intangible qualities of the place measured by intrinsic value, perceived essentialism and anti-essentialism as important predictors shaping the response to change. The correlational study was conducted using an online questionnaire designed to empirically grasp intangible qualities of cultural heritage sites. Five hundred twenty-nine responses were included in the analysis. The study shows that perceived historic value, inherent value (uniqueness and importance of the place) and Citation: Roszczynska-Kurasinska, (anti-)essentialist character of a place capture the differences between parks well and enables the M.; Domaradzka, A.; Wnuk, A.; finding of interventions that are coherent with a site’s genius loci.

    Garden design - Wikipedia Page 1 of 10 Garden design From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Garden design is the art and process of designing and creating plans for layout and planting of gardens and landscapes. Garden design may be done by the garden owner themselves, or by professionals of varying levels of experience and expertise. Most professional garden designers have some training in horticulture and the principles of design, and some are also landscape architects, a more formal level of training that usually requires an advanced degree and often a state license. Amateur gardeners may also attain a high level of experience from extensive hours working in their own gardens, through casual study, serious study in Master Gardener Programs, or by joining gardening clubs.

  • Rococo Gardens and Their Reception in Polish Garden Art of the 18Th Century
    ROCZNIKI HUMANISTYCZNE Tom LXVII, zeszyt 4 – 2019 DOi: http://dx.doi.org/10.18290/rh.2019.67.4-3 SeWeRyN Malawski THE STYLE Of ‘REGULAR IRREGULARITIES’ – rOCOCO GARDENS AND THEIR RECEPTION IN POLISH GARDEN ART OF THE 18TH CENTURY For many researchers distinguishing the Rococo as an independent style which appears in various fields of art is not an unambiguous matter. The stylish distinction of the Rococo was evidenced in the nineteenth century by the German writer and art historian Anton Springer (1825-1891). Although many researchers accepted this thesis, after the First World War there was a retreat from this view. Many art historians have considered Rococo as the late phase of the Baroque or its variant. Nowadays, most researchers agree that Rococo was not a continuation of Baroque, but it instead took an opposite position. However, one can find many formal elements of the Baroque in the Rococo art1. Discussion on the topic, though on a much smaller scale, was also under ta­ ken by researchers of garden art. Rococo gardens appeared and vanished from the works devoted to historic gardens.
