The Aesthetics of Biotope': Nature, Environment, Aesthetic Culture

该项目旨在重新审视自然和城市环境美学理论中讨论的问题，并从日常生活的不同层面(生物栖息地)进行美学实践来重新考虑这些问题。它们涵盖了自然和城市景观、森林、公园、花园、电影院地点、观光旅游、私人生活中的日本传统艺术以及当代清洁艺术等美学现象。因此，一本名为Nhijousei no Kankyo-Bigaku(：日常生活中的环境美学)的书，编辑。K.Nishimura著，Keiso-Syobou，东京，2012年)出版。

This project aimed to take the problems anew which have been discussed in the aesthetic theories of natural and urban environments and to reconsider them in terms of the aesthetic practices performed at various topoi of everyday life(Biotopes). They covered such aesthetic phenomena as natural and urban landscape, woods, parks, gardens, locations of cinema, whether, sightseeing tours, Japanese tradition of arts in private life, and a contemporary art of cleaning. As a result, a book Nichijousei no Kankyo-Bigaku(: The Environmental Aesthetics in Everyday Life, ed. by K. Nishimura, Keiso-Syobou, Tokyo, 2012) was published.
