=== Steps 3 and 4: Concepts Selection and definition ===
* Each group member selects three relevant concepts derived from his/her readings and synthesize them/publish them on the wiki by '''May 9, 2018'''
* Group members reflect within their groups and define their chosen concepts into a shared definition to be posted on the wiki by '''June 6, 2018.'''
* Other group members will be able to comment on the definitions until '''June 12, 2018'''
*Each group will also report on their process to come to a set of shared definitions of key landscape democracy concepts on the wiki documentation until '''June 20, 2018'''

'''Concepts and definitions'''

'''Author 1: Susanna Patata'''
*Concept 1: The New Urban Agenda was adopted at the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) in Quito on 2016. Represents a shared vision for a better and more sustainable future where everybody have equal rights and access to the benefits and opportunities that the city can offer. The urban community reconsiders the urban system and physical form of our urban spaces to achieve this objective and recognize the correlation between good urbanization and development. It follows the principle of inclusivity; the meaningful inclusion of slum dwellers; the involvement of a wide range of stakeholders group, which have a critical role to play in the implementation of this shared vision. (The New Urban Agenda Quito Declaration on Sustainable Cities and Human Settlements for All, UN resolution from December 2016)
*Concept 2:Hester’s paper explore the development of participation. Since from the foundation of U.S. the local participation was considered an important right. With the professionalizing city management starts the separation of the citizens from the decisions about their landscape and the professionals assumed more and more responsibility in community design. With the creation of civil movements, the advocacy planning served the civil rights movement but it has had profound unintentional side effects that run counter to its original goals: visionary public plans. Participatory design has been transformed over the past three decades. Some trends evolved, some revised and all became more complex and varied depending upon local context.Today more people participate in local planning than before. The step for participatory design have to promote fairness and encourage creativity and innovation. (Hester, Randolph (1999): A Refrain with a View, UC Berkeley)
*Concept 3:The paper try to understanding how to plan and develop successful and socially sustainable communities.Building community is considered as important as designing in physical, economical and sustainable terms. The ‘social design’ approach must be considered in the practice of professionals involved in the design process of new and existed communities. The challenge to find a better planning practice is requested by the increasing pressure of urban population, climate change and ageing societies. The key of this good practice should begin from the awareness of how local identity and social networks influence people’s feelings of belonging to places in order to create more resilient and high quality communities.It discussed the fail experience of architecture that created isolated residents and dead, inflexible and costly spaces to maintain.(Woodcraft, Saffron, et al.: Design for Social Sustainability: A Framework for Creating Thriving New Communities)

'''Author 2: Petar Jurički'''
*Concept 1: Author thinks that the democracy is sometimes not the best solution for working out certain problems and for decision making in design. She suggest using the concensus approach as a mean for decission making among people involved in the design process. (Day, Christopher (2002): Consensus Design, Architectural Press)
*Concept 2: In the movie, director uses landscape as a mean to make people more aware of the environmental crisis. In addition we can conclude that landscape may contain meanings and stories about the communities around it as well as a emotional connection with the landscape they live in. (Welk Von Mossner, Alexa (2014): Cinematic Landscapes, In: Topos, No. 88, 2014.)
*Concept 3: Designers use creative methods (painting, sketching, collage etc.) as a mean to convey their ideas and thoughts to visualize places that are being designed. By drawing meaningful lines designers try to make the space they design precious to the people. Because of that we need participation of citizens and people from that area. Only through this kind of collaboration the lines and the design will have their true meaning to the people. (Hester, Randolph: Democratic Drawing - Techniques for Participatory Design)

'''Author 3: Eric Vitrier'''
* Concept 1 : How to manage and apply : Environmental Planning, Access-to-information, Legal proceedings / administrative proceedings, Access-to-justice, Governance, Public participation defined by articles
* Concept 2 : The author has developed computer-aided decision support tools to provide training, visualization, and modeling of charrete design (design-driven, participating community design activities) and other major public seminars. Design information. This tool was created to connect the public with community planning and design professionals. One of the goals of this task is to eliminate important knowledge gaps between experts and stakeholders who are responsible for preparing and evaluating program options. Design features show expectations and preferences for future development through a participatory, qualitative, and design-based approach that appeals to the general public, such as vision and brainstorming techniques. To achieve a more sustainable urban structure, you must support charrete through quantitative methods of modeling and measuring performance based on sustainable development indicators such as housing density and traffic access and services.
* Concept 3 : According to a proposal for a new urbanization in Orange County, California, proposals that try to ignore various kinds of knowledge will damage the experience and common sense of urban residents. In this article, the author talk about how to reintegrate the river in Los Angeles into urban life and the efforts of the US fire department to cope with the crisis of forest fires. In either case, the participants are not even required to expand the story of alternative gifts, promote critical learning, promote coordination and promote the organization of stakeholders. Offering a story is a means to express subjective symbolic importance of elasticity. We can enlighten and include some voices and we can decide how we can adapt through self-organizing process and be able to determine profit. How can the community improve social environmental adaptability of complex urban systems?

'''Author 4: Rouhollah Rahimi'''
*Concept 1 : What makes a visually appealing landscape? How can the design and use of a landscape be harmonised? These are just some of the questions tackled in this refreshing approach to the subject. In Elements of Visual Design in the Landscape the author explains a range of design principles. This new edition includes revised and updated text that will link to other areas of research and disciplines such as aesthetic philosophy and psychology. A third of the photographs have been replaced with new photographs showing better and more recent examples and also reflecting landscape in a wider range of countries.
*Concept 2 :The professions working in the countryside-foresters, land agents, engineers-are practical people well versed in the functional side of their work but perhaps not so comfortable when it comes to dealing with visual issues. He believes that it is increasingly important to be able to discuss and use visual design principles in a rational and structured way. The catalogue of principles is not entirely new, being familiar to architects, landscape architects and urban designers, but there is a need to extend their application from built or predominantly urban environments into the wider landscape where three dimensions are more important, where the scale is bigger and where natural patterns and processes predominate over man-made ones.
*Concept 3 :'''READING THE LANDSCAPE'''
• Understanding the landscape, the processes that formed it and the pressures for change is an important step before landscape planning or design, especially at a large scale.
• It includes more than a geographical understanding – the visual and experiential aspects must be included.
• The landscape is “… an area, as perceived by people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/or human factors”.
• Visual and experiential aspects can be considered from the point of view of the perceiver – in the landscape, as it is seen from various viewpoints.
• Other sensory aspects can be noted while out there making analytical sketches.

File:Viadutasantatereza.jpg| Santa Tereza's viaduct was designed to be a symbol of modern urban ideas and it’s one of the most important work of urban engineering in Minas Gerais.The Viaduct was an important urban reference for the generations of writers and artists over the time. In the Sixties, with the huge and uncontrolled urbanization of the city and the progressive impoverishment of the city center, became the image of urban space segregation, unexploited by the citizens because dangerous.It's just recently that this área, as a consequence of a regeneration urban process supported by the citizens themself, especially few social movement and youngers, became again an important urban landmark linked with culture and music production in the city.Every week underneath the Viaduct a urban music competition takes place, joining people from different social background.
File:Parque municipal.jpg|Municipal park in Belo Horizonte is a symbol of urban democracy.It was planned and conceived before the foundation of the city itself to keep part of the original brazilian forest into the city of Belo Horizonte as a park. After the urbanization, it was reduced to a quarter part of its original project but still nowaday it's one of the few green and public spaces into a city of 2 million of inhabitants. Here everybody can rest far from cars, noise, and the urban heat, homeless people as well. In addition to be a haven for the ecosystem and natural resources is also an architectural and cultural interest área with an ancient Theatre, playground and the cultural center ‘Palacio das Artes’ of the brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer.
File:Praça liberdade.jpg|Liberty Square (Praça da Liberdade) today it's a recognized democratic symbol from the people of the city.Belo Horizonte was inaugurated 8 years after the founding of the Republic and the square, symbol of the Republic Power, was conceived in the the highest place of the city center, overlooking the landscape unlike the historical colonial towns where are the churches that prevailed in the landscape. (like Ouro Preto, colonial Portuguese towns and first capital of Minas Gerais state). Moreover the square has not only an historical meaning but it's also a charming place, syntheses of different architectural styles, where the gardens, avenues and monuments’ facada were inspired by french architecture. With few cultural spaces and free activities such as exposition, theater, library and others, the square has a cultural, social, political meaning recognized by all the citizens.

=== Steps 3 and 4: Concepts Selection and definition ===
* Each group member selects three relevant concepts derived from his/her readings and synthesize them/publish them on the wiki by '''May 9, 2018'''
* Group members reflect within their groups and define their chosen concepts into a shared definition to be posted on the wiki by '''June 6, 2018.'''
* Other group members will be able to comment on the definitions until '''June 12, 2018'''
*Each group will also report on their process to come to a set of shared definitions of key landscape democracy concepts on the wiki documentation until '''June 20, 2018'''

'''Concepts and definitions'''

'''Author 1: Sam Nassar'''
*CONCEPT 1: “The Aarhus Convention” it’s a Convention and Protocol empower people with the rights to access easily information, participate effectively in decision-making in environmental matters and to seek justice if their rights were violated. They protect every person’s right to live in an environment adequate to his or her health and well-being. (The Aarhus Convention)
*CONCEPT 2: “Power and Powerlessness” Explains to outsiders the conflicts between the financial interests of the coal and land companies, and the moral rights of the vulnerable mountaineers. The questions that open investigation of social peace and rebellion in a desperately poor Appalachian valley.(Gaventa, John 1982)
*CONCEPT 3:” Design Charrette: A Vehicle for Consultation or Collaboration”: A model of participation and creativity, it’s good for reshaping the engagement of design professionals and the dynamic processes available to businesses and organizations seeking ongoing innovation, it is used as a consultant tool for engaging the community in participatory workshops on potentially controversial developments.(Smith, Nicola Dawn 2012)

'''Author 2: Sabine Schneider'''
*Concept 1: Cinematic Landscapes - The role of landscape as movie settings decreases as digital effects are getting more popular. Even though some movies like ''Beasts oft he Southern Wild'' show a clear relationship to the existing landscapes to make people aware of the problems our environment it facing these days. (Welk Von Mossner, Alexa (2014): Cinematic Landscapes)
*Concept 2: Selective Integration - Integrated communities are more likely to be resilient. Even though concepts like niches and territorry point out the values of segregation. So it’s not all clear in which dimensions integrtion should occur. (Hester, Randolph: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Sustainable Happiness)
*.......

'''Author 3: Markus Herrmann'''
*Concept 1: Fairness - Fairness is vital for a lasting democracy and especially in democratic landscape planning design. Important is a legal base and a free and fair information flow. Participation is boosted by a fair surrounding, fair information flow and clear laws. It can create a surrounding, where one is ready to raise its voice about injustices. To map Fairness / or unfair spatial situations the key points / topics to map are 1. Accessibility, 2. Inclusions, 3. Equal or unequal distribution of resources and amenities. Important for a designer is to find out about tensions and injustices existing. Mostly poor and / or marginalized (people of color, elderly, youth, women etc.) people are treated in an unfair way – often people are not even clear about that injustices. Many problems can be rectified by good design, but first have to been shown and mapped.(Hester, Randolph (2006): Design for Ecological Democracy, The MIT Press)
*Concept 2: Representative representation: Nonverbal drawing techniques are often used in democratic planning in a cooperative way. It is far more complex than the normal drawings we learn in architectural practice, as it is not about persuading someone about an idea (a way of presenting you often learn at architecture education). Randolph Hester names the methods used in that field as “representative representations” and categorizes them in 5 areas: 1. Representing people, 2. Exchanging professional knowledge and local wisdom spatially, 3. Coauthoring design, 4. empowering people to ‘represent’ themselves, and 5. Visualizing deep values: community, stewardship, fairness and distinctive place. He states furthermore that most participatory design methods are more “process oriented and less product oriented than other design approaches” (193) but often lead to “unusually carefully crafted and reasonably low maintenance [designs]” mostly “figurative and not abstract” (193)(Hester, Randolph: Democratic Drawing - Techniques for Participatory Design).
*Concept 3: Planning with immigrants - Designing with immigrants is a highly emotional task – which often requires a huge amount of empathy and can trigger traumata while working with immigrants. The designer / researcher has to be highly emotional in how he / she carries out the research question. The most important part is therefore not the underlying technique but more so the surrounding and the mindset of the researcher paired with a wisely chosen venue. Visual techniques paired with questions asked could deal as an ice breaker. Often we also encounter ethical issues that arise – so it is no easy field of research and a field where designers have to learn a lot in advance, to make sure it is save for both sides.
Salgado, Mariana, et al. (2015): Designing with Immigrants

'''Author 4: Giulia Martina Bosi'''
*CONCEPT 1: "Social responsibility": The planning that involved a participation program should include a goal that the partecipation part needs to reach. Each time that a group of people are involved in a planning they should know that their idea/vision will influence the future of the entire community. (''Multiple views of participatory design'', Henry Sanoff)
*CONCEPT 2: "Community building": The children who grew up in Pontchartrain Park in the 1950s and 1960s are no longer related to "black spaces" but they still feel part of this community (the community of "old black middle-class". They feel this community as a family. (''It was a real village'', Farrah D. Gafford)
*CONCEPT 3: "Learing by doing". Even children and young people can be involved democracy chanllenge, through non-formal education they can learn easly and have fun at the same time; but they will apply what they have learn during the game in real life. As Confucio said "I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand". (''TASKs for democracy'', Council of Europe)

This tower generously gives spectacular view to everyone.In the past maybe for 4 decades, this tower hadn’t has any special meaning for people and the fundamental essence of it was the monument for Avicenna.
File:LED landscape symbol kia jpg2.jpg|Iran (Persia) is one of the most important countries in the Middle East. It has a very long tradition of garden-making, though no one can be sure quite how long. Because it bestrides the cross-roads between the Middle East and Asia, Iran has had a turbulent history. Zoroastrianism was a religion of settlers, as opposed to nomads, and the early Zoroastrians undoubtedly had vegetable gardens. It is probable that they also made aesthetic gardens but little is known about Zoroastrian art. The earliest surviving Persian layouts are the palace estates of Passargadae and Persepolis. After the conquest of Persia by Islam, the paradise garden became established and the Islamic gardens east of Persia, in Samarkand, Afganistan and India were largely the work of Persian garden designers and craftsmen
File:LED landscape symbol kia jpg3.jpg|The Azadi Tower (Borje Āzādi; "Freedom Tower"), formerly known as the Shahyad Tower (برج شهیاد Borje Ŝahyād; "Shah's Memorial Tower"), is a monument located at Azadi Square, in Tehran, Iran. It is one of the landmarks of Tehran, marking the west entrance to the city, and is part of the Azadi Cultural Complex, which also includes a museum underground. The tower is about 45 metres (148 ft) tall and is completely clad in cut marble.[1][2] It was commissioned by Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran, to mark the 2,500th year of the foundation of the Imperial State of Iran

=== Steps 3 and 4: Concepts Selection and definition ===
* Each group member selects three relevant concepts derived from his/her readings and synthesize them/publish them on the wiki by '''May 9, 2018'''
* Group members reflect within their groups and define their chosen concepts into a shared definition to be posted on the wiki by '''June 6, 2018.'''
* Other group members will be able to comment on the definitions until '''June 12, 2018'''
*Each group will also report on their process to come to a set of shared definitions of key landscape democracy concepts on the wiki documentation until '''June 20, 2018'''

'''Concepts and definitions'''

'''Author 1: Luis Aquino'''
*Enabling the Form. Caring. It is a powerful value among people and place relation, this guarantee the sustainability of the landscape. We must provide the tools to the citizens to increase the general attention to specific spaces and to raise the awareness of the core values of the zone. Engage the population through active participation and investment of effort upon it. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Sustainable Happiness. Randolph T Hester, Jr.

*Resilient the Form. Finding Fish Heads. Fish heads can be old buildings, historical events, trash or abandoned uses; they can be scenic beauty, retired people or everyday real work. Fish heads concept come from the fishery industry that turns up the common understanding that the fish heads were regarded as useless into productive matter. Entrepreneurs began reusing abandoned buildings for surfing-related products and services. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Sustainable Happiness. Randolph T Hester, Jr.

*Impelling the Form. Active Responsibility. In order to achieve sustainable cities, it requires active citizen participation, active human nature towards sharing and collaboration in the creation process. We as planners must prosecute users to participate into administrative on-going models, leading appart self-interests and selfish attitudes. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Sustainable Happiness. Randolph T Hester, Jr.

'''Author 2: Bruna Spagnol'''
* Designs and drawings are mere lines if they don’t have a meaning for the population, so it’s necessary to combine forces between the general public and the designers. Sketching, painting and modelling are some tools used to communicate an idea in a specific and distinctive way, but common sense and nature should be used to provide answers to the community problems. (Hester, R., Democratic Drawing)
*In order to “read” a landscape, we must understand the process of its formation, the development of the area and all the pressures that worked there. You need to take into consideration its aesthetics, visual and sensorial characteristics along with the geomorphological, but also the perception that community gets from it, which varies from each one. ('Reading the Landscape' by Simon Bell)

'''Author 3: Sara Yousefi Mashhour'''

*Shared Values of Specific Culture

Culture structures landscape and at the same time it is embodied by landscape (a 2 sided relationship).In one hand landscape challenges and ecological framework influence our common way of living over generations and in another hand perception, cognition and evaluation of human beings are based upon the filter which their culture and values provide. Therefore culture and the shared values are shaping our preferences, knowledge and feelings toward landscape which influence our decisions and behaviors toward it and our behaviors and decisions are working within the fundamental ecological framework of the terrain. (Nassauer, Joan. Culture and changing landscape structure)

*Social Inclusion in Designing Process

All social groups (different genders, ages, social classes, ethnic groups), even the most marginalized and outsider ones in one community (such as immigrants) should be involved in designing process through methods which can create comfortable, trusting and empathetic atmosphere and facilitate communications and self-expressions in order to enriching design visions. (Salgado, Mariana et al. Designing with immigrants)

*Ladder of Participation
In order to involve locals in designing process there is a range of involvement which begins with informing and continues with introducing, consultation and Dialogue and ends with Participation and Citizen Control as the highest level of involvement. Each of these phases has several methods to follow up based on your budget, time, goals and the target community. (European Convention. LIFEscape Handbook on Participative Landscape Planning)

The farthest explored known point is about 272 meters, but its real limits are still mysterious. However, experts believe that its ends stretch to about six kilometers. There are also signs of an underground river that is believed to flow near the Grottes of Chiker. The system ends in a massive choke of boulders. This may well be the same massive choke of boulders that can be seen at the end of the upstream passages of the nearby Grotte of Chiker; this choke was also discovered in 1969.

File:2 assign-1.jpg| Enqelab Street or Revolution Street is the main east-west road which has built in 1932 upon Tehran historic walls of ‘Naseredin shah’ era in order to expand the city as ‘Reza shah’ wanted to have a modern and great capital. After the 1979 revolution, this name has been given to the street because it was the main place for rallies. the most symbolic landscape in this street has been the entrance square of Tehran University so far. Tehran University has founded in 1934 in ‘Reza shah’ era. This University has encouraged a great number of bookstores and cafes to be established around itself and has taken apart in forming special social context including intellectuals and cultural, social and political pioneers. Therefor University students have always been a part of every social change, since its foundation and they express their protestation by gathering in front of the main entrance of the universit; (1953,1979,1999, 2009,2018 protests). University of Tehran was at first the symbol of modernization of Iran but over time it has become a symbol of resistance of youth and intellectuals against governments’ dictatorship
File:2 assign-2.jpg|Valiasr Street is the longest north - South road in Tehran which is linking the richest neighborhoods to most deprived one. Formerly known as Pahlavi Road, This Street has been established in 1921 to create a private link between ‘Marmar’ Palace in ‘Kakh’ neighborhood to ‘SaadAbad’ Palace in ‘Shemiran’, after 1941 it has become public street which is mostly known by its plane trees planted every 2 meter. Until 1953 it was known as a recreation area because of good weather and green hills. After establishment of restaurants and clubs along it and the dedication of the adjacent lands to army forces the official, commercial and residential buildings were formed along the street in ‘Mohammadreza Shah’ era and the most important squares were linked by this street. After the revolution the name of the street changed to Valiasr and the street became a place for window shopping and lingering After 2009 protestation against election results, this street has become a gathering place for social events especially for middle class who are the main residents of adjacent neighborhoods and have the dominant power over this urban space
File:2 assign-3.jpg|Mohammadreza Shah wanted to establish a cultural center, known as City Theater, and he wanted it to be in the center of Tehran so he decided to build it at the conjunction of Valiasr and Enqelab Streets in the garden formerly known as Shahrdari Café. Over time, park has become a third place for artists. So many performances and street theaters take place in this square, but recently because of Metro and BRT access to this conjunction and its central location in Tehran, it has become a more inclusive space which is a place for protests, meetings, social gatherings, civic actions, street vendors, transsexuals, etc.

File:LED landscape symbol a2 cathedral cara frey.jpg|The Cologne Cathedral is one of the most famous sights in Germany. More than 6 millions of visitors each year are attracted by this impressive landscape symbol. Besides being an place of interest, this cathedral symbolizes a long time of culture and history. It took six centuries to complete the cathedral, during this time the architecture and the people changed. The number of cathedrals all over Germany and all over the world also represents the size and power of church, that had an immensive influence on the community in Europe since the formation of Christianity 2000 years ago. In todays society for many people the position of church decreases, and the number of visitors at Cologne Cathedral has other reasons than being part of a church community.
File:LED landscape symbol a2 wind cara frey.jpg|New technology try to gain energy in an ecological way, like with solar energy, hydropower or wind power. For many people this symbolizes the resolution of reducing the climate change. These pin wheels that are builded more and more in Germany do represent the future and progress in green technology. But do they really have that big impact on our power consumption how everybody thinks? And what about the risks? Typical landscape sceneries are transformed and destroyed by this big wheels. It‘s also a risk for birds and other animals. So there can be identified two different sides of the meaning of this landscape symbol.
File:LED landscape symbol a2 bench cara frey.jpg|You can find them in the nature but also in urban places, the bench is part of our culture and community because it belongs to everyone as acommon and shared furniture. Here you can rest and regain strenght and enjoy the landscape, cause often the positon of a bench symbolizes a nice place with a lookout. Because you need to have some time to sit on a bench it can also represent a symbol of nostalgia. While sitting on a public bench you can enjoy the nature or watch other people.

'''Concepts and definitions'''

'''Author 1:'''Magdalena'''

1. Concepts o participation: Sacred Places - Prof. Hester (LA form US) aims to encourage the community/citizens, to participate into design process o their neighborhood. Sacred places are these areas and elements of the landscape to which the community has a strong conntection. These places can oten olny be identiied based on local knowlegde and experience. In design process, according to Hester, locals are asked to describe and map the "sacred structure" of their town. As an example, the "sacred structure" inspired the final plan to revitalize Manteo, small villige in North Carolina, US.

2. Design: Design participation according to Hester's Twelve Steps - community development framework consisting 12 points of design process, a.o. Listening, Setting goals, Acrivity Mapping, Introducing the Community to Itself, Confirming goals, Evaluation after Construction. As an example, this process was implemented in Westport, California, where a dialogue between designers and residents revealed a final design. As a result of this process, the residents of Westport received a community development project, which emphasized their needs for affordable housing.

3. Community and Identity: Cinematic Landscapes - using a real landscape in a film narration in order to expose the racial, gender, and economic power dynamics that led to the emergence of the actual crisis landscape. Example: Film "Beasts of the Southern Wild".

'''Author 2:...'''Mariana'''

'''1. The European Landscape Convention'''

Landscape policy : expression by the competent public authorities of general principles, strategies and guidelines that permit the taking of specific measures aimed at the protection, management and planning of landscapes

Landscape quality objective: formulation by the competent public authorities of the aspirations of the public with regard to the landscape features of their surroundings

Landscape protection : actions to conserve and maintain the significant or characteristic features of a landscape, justified by its heritage value derived from its natural configuration and/or from human activity

Landscape management: action to ensure the regular upkeep of a landscape, so as to guide and harmonise changes which are brought about by social, economic and environmental processes

Landscape planning : strong forward-looking action to enhance, restore or create landscapes.

'''2. Burckhardt, Lucius (1979): Why is landscape beautiful? in: Fezer/Schmitz (Eds.)'''

Landscape in Scenario 1: is a construct of different layers (visual, technological, natural, infrastructure) in a temporal dimension.

Landscape in Scenario 2: is an idealized image of phenomena resulting in a charming place.

Ruins in the Landscape: Symbol of past history, in landscape terms, erosion.

Beautiful Landscape: Construct comprised of conventional visual structures.

'''3. Pritzker Prize winning architect Alejandro Aravena on sustainable design and community involvement in Chile'''

3S : Phenomen divided in 3 main problems regarding Scale, Speed and Scarcity applied when people moving to cities.

The Design Purpose to understand and answer the 3S: To channel peoples own building capacity.

With the right design, susteinability is nothing but the regurous use of common sense

Participatory design : The attempt to find with precision what is the right question, and provide alternatives that are validated politically and socially. There is nothing worst than answering well the wrong question.

Design power of synthesis : To make a more efficent use of this cost-resources in cities, which is not money but cordination. Attempt to put in the most inner core of architecture the force of life

'''Author 3:Tanjila'''
*'''Burckhardt, Lucius (1974): Who plans the planning'''
Planning is determined by legislative issues and implicated in a social framework. The urban planner's sciences and auxiliary sciences such as urban geography, urban sociology, and planning theory, planning methodology and planning strategy have made advances in recent times. However, how they are applied depends always on the character of the person doing the planning. To reflect on urban planning means not to study the newest theories on housing density or traffic management, it is primarily a matter of giving much broader consideration to the ways in which local authorities make plans to change their environment.
*'''David, Harvey (2003): The Right to the City'''
The main endeavor of this book is to provide an anti-capitalist and revolutionary meaning, to the ‘right to the city’. A right whose meaning has however to be characterized. In this sense, the ‘right to the city’ not as a right that already exists, not as only a right to citizenship as it has been mostly understood, but as a collective struggle by all those that have a portion in producing the city and making the life in it, to claim the right to decide what kind of urbanism they are looking for. The collective labor that produces the city and its infrastructure, mostly builders and constructors, and those that create life in the city, various social and cultural groups whose activities and way of living enriches and produces city-life, are lacking the ‘right to the city’ because of the prevailing of capitalist urbanization.
*'''Nassauer, Joan Iverson (1995): Culture and Changing Landscape Structure'''
This paper is focused on four different 'cultural principles for landscape ecology'. First comes human landscape perception, cognition, and values that directly affect the landscape. Secondly, cultural conventions which powerfully influence landscape pattern in both inhabited and apparently natural landscapes. Then, cultural concepts of nature which are different from scientific concepts of ecological function and finally the appearance of landscapes which is responsible for communicating cultural values.

'''Author 4:Navid'''
*'''.Sanoff_Multiple views of participatory design'''
P''articipatory design'' : is an attitude about a force for change in the creation and management of environments for people. Its strength lies in being a movement that cuts across traditional professional boundaries and cultures.

''collective intelligence (CI)'':s based on the ability of groups to sort out their collective experience in ways that help to respond appropriately to circumstances - especially when faced with new situations.shared insight that comes about through the process of group interaction, particularly where the outcome is more insightful and powerful than the sum of individual perspectives.

''PROMOTING PARTICIPATION'' : By
• Establishing a policy of inclusiveness
• Holding open meetings
• Making speeches to community groups
• Obtaining public input
• Making public announcements
• Holding face-to-face meetings
• Conducting progress surveys
*'''Hester - Design For Ecological Democracy'''
There are 3 fundamental issue to ecological democracy :

1- our cities and landscapes must enable us to act where we are now debilitated.

2- our cities and landscape must be made to with stand short term shockes to which both are vulnerable .

3- our cities and landscape must be alluring rather than simply consumptive or conversely , limiting.
* '''Places in the making MIT'''
Placemaking is a critical arena in which people can lay claim to their “right to the city.” The fact that placemaking happens in public spaces, not corporate or domestic domains, is a critical component to its impact on cities.
Public places, which are not our homes nor our work places, are what Ray Oldenburg calls “third places.” Placemaking creates these “third places” that he describes as, “the places of social gathering where the community comes together in an informal way, to see familiar and unfamiliar faces, somewhere civic discourse and community connections can happen.
Placemaking is an act of doing something. It’s not planning, it’s doing. That’s what’s so powerful about it.
Barrier of placemaking :
1. Making the case for placemaking is harder than it should be.
2. “Making” takes time in a “here and now” culture.
3. Expertise is a scarce resource.
4. It’s hard to know who to involve—and when and how to involve them.
5. Placemaking exists in a world of rules and regulations.
6. Reliable funding sources are scarcer than ever.
7. There’s no glory in the postmortem

1_Kospallag_Hill.jpg | Hillscape. The village of Kospallag is located in the north of Hungary in the Pest county. This image represents a view from a window to a hill. Hills are stong landscape symbols that are taken as an icon of regional identity. Also, it provides a certain view of the surrounding, the hill itself is an element of the landscape and a part of a culture. Berries harvesting, wood collecting, and other practice are linked to it.

3 Nagymaros Riverscape.jpg| Riverscape. Facing Visegrad, we can distinguish easily one of the landscape symbols that shaped the Carpathian basin landscape, the Danube. Its water reflects the landscape, from the countryside to the inner city. Water is a landscape symbol which can be found in many aspects of the Hungarian culture and history: baths, river transport, riverbanks and sports practice.

Image:Lanscape symbol poland I.jpg| This is a monument of John Paul II (Poland, city of Olsztyn). From the historical and socio-political point of view, he played a great role in Poland. Above many other issues, he supported the transformation of Poland to become a democratic country. The regard and affection in which the people of Poland held and continue to hold John Paul II is extraordinary (in 1979 during his first visit as a pope, 13 million of Poles saw him in person). Before he died in 2005, there were 230 statues of him in Poland and after his dead this amount lifted to ca. 550 (there are about 200 monuments in other parts of the world overall). Monuments are well recognized and understandable, located in central parts of parks, squars, public areas. Are used by the public mainly as gather points to worship and memorialize. Picture taken in 1995, Olsztyn, Poland.

It is one of the oldest localities of Dhaka city, located near the inter-section of Islampur road and Nawabpur Road - the two main arteries of the old city. For centuries Dhaka has been famous for its traditional arts and crafts. The name implies that the area began as a settlement of "Shakharis" or a community of craftsmen specialized in making conch shell ornaments.The buildings of Shakhari Bazaar trace the history and evolution of building crafts, construction and materials of Dhaka for the past few hundread years. Lack of maintenance and repair has resulted in a worn out appearance. Shakhari Bazaar lined with thin slices of richly decorated brick buildings, built during the late Mughal or Colonial period.

The lake was originally a dead channel of the Karwan Bazar River, and was connected to the Turag River. In 1956, Dhanmondi was developed as a residential area. In the development plan, about 16% of the total area of Dhanmondi was designated for the lake. Dhanmondi Lake development was an attempt to embody an urban oasis to provide relief in the concrete cityscape. The concept was to invite people to protect the lake from encroachment creating a buffer zone in between the allotted residential plots and the lake. Now, Dhanmondi Lake has become a well visited tourist spot, with cultural hubs such as the Rabindra-Sarobar located along its side.

Image:La-cruz-street-market-001.jpg| why did you select this case? Public Open Spaces Markets in Mexico represent now a day two radical opposites. In one hand, they are the gathering space, they have not only cultural but also an economical importance in our society. They contribute in peoples cultural identification to their community. However, in spatial terms, they are major urban and lanscape challenges. They are not properly planned, organized and managed. They highly contribute to polution in the area and mobility problems.
Image:Whats the conflict.jpg| The lack of planning to make this markets integrate properly to the landscape and urban environment. People that both, work and consume, from this public spaces have, most of the times, to develop their own elements to use the space. The result of this affect the quality of the space, the environmental impact of this, the economy of the market itself and other spaces around it, the quality of the products (specially food) that it's sold in there.
Image:Whats the conflict2.jpg| Open spaces, recreational areas, landscape in general is mainly afected by the unplanned presence of this markets. They support the uses, life and activities of this spaces by providing food, souvenirs, etc to the users. However, the lack of organization and normalization of them create visual chaos, pollution, direct impacts in the functionality of the open space (invading bike roads, streets, obstacles to main entries, damaging vegetation)
Image:Who are the actors.jpg|caption: The government, with the task of regulating the functionality of the markets, urban planners and designers, into creating adequate spaces for them, and mostly important, the people, whom in teamwork with the planners and government should provide the information about they needs into this spaces, which , ultimetly, they will use.
Image:Uns sustainable development goal.jpg| The UN's goal suitable for this landscape challenge is : "Goal 11: Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable" In this case, Mexico city sometimes enables people to advance socially and economically. Because of its rapid expansion, growth, and lack of proper planning. However, there is a big opportunity also into creating and mantaining jobs through activities in markets, due to their cultural, historical and identification importance. Markets have been and always will be part of Mexico. But for them, the right infrastructure is needed.

'''Concepts and definitions'''

'''HO SIN YEE (Alisa)'''
*(C: Community and Identity) (Gafford, Farrah D. (2013): It Was a Real Village: Community Identity Formation Among Black Middle-Class Residents in Pontchartrain Park, Journal of Urban History 39:36)

CONCEPT ONE: Community and identity building depends strongly on shared childhood and adolescent memories among individuals, which are created by attending religious, cultural and family functions within the neighborhood. The resulted communal bonding can be long-lasting, and it plays an important role in the resilience of a community after traumas.

*(D: Designing) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2013): Places in the Making: How Placemaking Builds Places and Communities)

CONCEPT TWO: Placemaking is more about doing it but not just focusing on the planning phase. It is about trial and error, as well as improvement, which make it more powerful than the seemingly best planned solution. One important thing to note is the making process never ends, as it involves the actual usage and maintenance after the accomplishment of design and construction.

*(E: Communicating a Vision) (Goldstein, B. E., A. T. Wessells, R. Lejano, and W. Butler. 2015. Narrating Resilience: Transforming Urban Systems Through Collaborative Storytelling. Urban Studies. 52 (7): 1285-1303. )

CONCEPT THREE: Shared vision and experience among a place are enhanced by planning with different ways of understanding. Therefore, narrative is a good way to address the symbolic and subjective meanings of wellbeing, which enforcing the ability to gather various opinions and allowing self-initiated processes to decide what improvements should be done for whom.

'''Sudara Jayalath: ...'''
*'''Concept ONE''' (''A:landscape democracy;mapping the terrain)_Burckhardt, Lucius (1979): Why is landscape beautiful? in: Fezer/Schmitz (Eds.) Rethinking Man-made Environments (2012'')
'''Existence of a Landscape:''' "Landscape is a Construct". There is no 'absolute objective reality', where an absolute landscape exists.The existence of a landscape is relative, its relative to the perception of the observer. Perception of the observer is a production of his/her own memory, experience and knowledge. But the knowledge is a production of a particular epistemology which structured out via a specific way of thinking due to a specific cultural conditions, which are defined by landscapes.
*'''Concept TWO''' ''(D:Designing)_ Hester, Randolph: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Sustainable Happiness
'''Resilient Form:''' Adaptability, bare-ability of a human habitat called as a resilient form. A human habitat could exist in various forms according to temporal land utilization. Due to evolution of utility, functional conception or natural state a habitat have to adapt for the next state of existence. For this existing form is important. A habitat with this adaptable form can be called as a resilient form.
*'''Concept THREE''' ''(E:Communicating a Vision)_'Reading the Landscape' by Simon Bell, EMU Tartu''
'''Landscape Character:''' Landscape is a process, series of situations, which take place one after one in to a particular order. This order has a unique, or spot specific behavior which reflects (characterize) via each situation. Each situation projected out as a combination of different layers which are dependent on each other. As some examples Geological, Geo-morphological, Ecological, Anthropological, Communication, Visual and so on. The character of a landscape is the condition, dominate characteristics of each layer in a particular time.

It stands outside of the small village Graupa, near the hill "Borsberg" and 30 km away from Dresden (Sachsen / Germany). It was reerected some years ago by an local craftsman, who has a carpenter's workshop in the village and scheep-run nearby. So it just transformed: from an old-style plant -and individual leisure activitie of one man- to an important landscape symbol. It is now a kind of a landmark, that gives identity(!) to a village in East Germany and people there. And became next to this a little tourism attraction and photo icon.

It stands on a 33ha wide areal from a former military park for tank exercises. This military areal ("Blücherkaserne" - Revitalisierung einer Militärbrache) was 2004 transformed to a large public park with some housing and commercial units. This project was financed and started because of a regional garden festival in 2010 (Landesgartenschau 2010, Sauerlandpark Hemer, Germany, between Köln and Dortmund). Main theme there is a park for culture and sport activities. The park is still with fences and an entrance fee. It is supported by community of Hemer but also from idealistic locals and a new founded local association.
Image:Foto LED artificial ZooSymbol from7yearOldChild sKoeder IMG 20180312 091227.jpg|Is this really a "Landscape Symbol"? - I think yes - as everybody could see at first sight what symbol it could be and the idea behind it. It is an artificial built zoo (built from my 7 years old son Miká). Material: paper, wooden Kapla Stones and Schleich toy animals. So it is an artificial toy landscape in an artificial surrounding (floor in the flat) but it is indeed a landscape. I guess it could be an interesting base for discussions ...so what is a "real landscape"? ...and do symbols exists also in such a small and almost private world - and even in the world of children? What is about complete artificial landscapes? What do you think? :-)

Image:Arg of Karim Khan in Shiraz.jpeg|The Karim Khan Castle is a citadel located in the downtown Shiraz, in Shahrdari square. It was built in 1180 AH. Karim Khan invited the best architects and artists of the time and bought the best materials from other cities and abroad for the construction of the castle of Karim Khan, which was quickly constructed.During the Zand dynasty it was used by the king as living quarters. During the Qajar period it was used as the governor's seat and during the Pahlavi period it was converted into a prison and the paintings were plastered over.But this building is known as the center of this space and historical element in the Shiraz municipality square with popular stories. Throughout the years, this space has created a good urban space and a crowd of people thanks to an attractive landscape and a memorable observer. Today, due to the lack of attention to this urban space and the degradation of its landscape, we make this space less so because the presence of people in space has diminished because of the lack of conformity with the opinions of the people.
Image:Quram gate.jpeg|The Gate was first built during the reign of 'Adud ad-Dawla. By the time of the Zand dynasty and the Qur'an was placed in it so that the travelers would be blessed with passing through it. Today the gates are part of a city park where Shirazis relax and picnic during their leisure hours. In the past by entering the city and standing under this gate, The most important religious element of the city was seen;This is a kind of respect for religious values by the people. But by changing the morphology of the city, the religious element is not visible from the gate; A phrase has been ignored with the value and belief belief of the people of the community. On the other hand, with the construction of a large hotel adjacent to and above this gate, the beauty of the gate is also lost And like the past, it's not the first entry point in the city. Also, by imposing behavioral and user constraints; Constraints that often conflict with the will of the people.
Image:Shiraz roofing.jpg|Roofing shiraz is the best place to enjoy the city's landscape that located on a hill overlooking the city.In the winter, snowfall is a beautiful landscapr from this point. The presence of high-rise buildings in different parts of the landscape has diminished. Unfortunately, the limits of commuting to this area, as well as the restrictions imposed by officers at this location, have reduced access to space.

File:Landscape symbol 1.jpg|This is the August 7th Memorial park in Nairobi, Kenya. It symbolises the ability of the city to move forward after a devastating terrorist attack at the heart of the city. In a way it is a reflection of the national anthem, which encourages us to live in peace, love and unity. We interpret the landscape to mean how much we value peace, love and unity among fellow country men and women.
File:Landscape symbol 2.jpg|Uhuru Recreational Park in Nairobi, Kenya is a park within the Central Business district in the city. It is a landmark on its own right, as it is surrounded by tall buildings and hardscapes all around. Its name is a swahili word which means freedom. The park is very historical and offers a cheap form of entertainment to the locals.
