The park was founded in 1995, and it was open in 2003. The total area of the park was around 90ha back then. It was one of few public parks located at the shore of the Gulf of Finland. The citizens have been quite happy with the new recreational area, and popularity of the park has been increasing rather fast. But in 2008, despite the will of dwellers the construction works started in the park. Only 54ha of green area remained... Several years after, when the disputes in the media abated, the government decided to build a new hospital and museum center there. Now, there are a lot of debates concerning this topic. Local dwellers keep fighting for the remained park area, while businessmen are looking forward the new development.
The case study has had a strong resonance in the media for years. The future of the green area still stays vague. Park or urban development? Businessmen or dwellers? Money or people? Who will be the winner in this race? Is there a way out of this situation? Or is there a possible compromise?

=== What are the major challenges for changing the situation? ===

''Money rules the world.'' This area has extremely high rates for development (and for real estate). It is so much more profitable to build it up, instead of maintaining the park (in its present state).

''Corruption.''

''No participation.'' The possible changes are not even discussed with local dwellers. Their opinion is not considered at all. Locals do not know what to expect from new development.

=== What could be a starting point for democractically-based change? ===

It's time for government to listen for the people's opinion or to explain the necessity of changes. There's no way out of this crisis without open dialog between dwellers and local authorities.

The park was founded in 1995, and it was open in 2003. The total area of the park was around 90ha back then. It was one of few public parks located at the shore of the Gulf of Finland. The citizens have been quite happy with the new recreational area, and popularity of the park has been increasing rather fast. But in 2008, despite the will of dwellers the construction works started in the park. Only 54ha of green area remained... Several years after, when the disputes in the media abated, the government decided to build a new hospital and museum center there. Now, there are a lot of debates concerning this topic. Local dwellers keep fighting for the remained park area, while businessmen are looking forward the new development.
The case study has had a strong resonance in the media for years. The future of the green area still stays vague. Park or urban development? Businessmen or dwellers? Money or people? Who will be the winner in this race? Is there a way out of this situation? Or is there a possible compromise?

=== What are the major challenges for changing the situation? ===

''Money rules the world.'' This area has extremely high rates for development (and for real estate). It is so much more profitable to build it up, instead of maintaining the park (in its present state).

''Corruption.''

''No participation.'' The possible changes are not even discussed with local dwellers. Their opinion is not considered at all. Locals do not know what to expect from new development.

=== What could be a starting point for democractically-based change? ===

It's time for government to listen for the people's opinion or to explain the necessity of changes. There's no way out of this crisis without open dialog between dwellers and local authorities.

The park was founded in 1995, and it was open in 2003. The total area of the park was around 90ha back then. It was one of few public parks located at the shore of the Gulf of Finland. The citizens have been quite happy with the new recreational area, and popularity of the park has been increasing rather fast. But in 2008, despite the will of dwellers the construction works started in the park. Only 54ha of green area remained... Several years after, when the disputes in the media abated, the government decided to build a new hospital and museum center there. Now, there are a lot of debates concerning this topic. Local dwellers keep fighting for the remained park area, while businessmen are looking forward the new development.

=== Reflections ===

In these pictures I have highlight the symbols leaving them colored while the background is black and white.

Arcades: Bologna is made by arcades in fact in the town there are nearly 44 km! This type of construction permit to all the visitors of the city to go everywhere without the problem of the weather. In medieval age they were built to increase the areas of the apartments leaving free the ground level. Today they appear as a characteristic of the streets. Walking under arcades give to the walker a sensation of protection from the car’s road but also give to him the possibility to have a glimpse to what is happening in the near road while his main attention is focused on the shops that are present in a great number in the other side. The arcades are diffused in the entire town, but are particularly present in the center. This network give sensations of continuity, identity and belonging to this particular visual landscape. Therefore, today, they appears useful but have an aesthetic value, too.

Representation of the Madonna: Under the Bologna’s arcades, there are a great number of Virgin Mary’s representations made with different technique and showing various scenes of her life. These underline the devotion of Bologna’s inhabitants that asked to these Madonnas to benedict their everyday life. Today people walk without raise up their heads and so they don’t pay attention to these artistic works, some of them wonderful, that make precious the walls of buildings. They are symbols referred to a Christian background but, also, there are important for their artistic and historical meaning.

Dalla’s sculpture: Lucio Dalla was a very famous Italian musician that died some years ago. He was born in Bologna and he related his life and his musical work with this town. One month ago, the municipality had decided to place , for a short period, a bronze Dalla’s sculpture in a small square near his house. In these days many tourist, inhabitants want to see this art craft especially to take a selfie with it. Therefore, there is always a small crowd of people near the sculpture. Usually people want to take a picture with objects that are representative of a town, but seldom they know the history or simply the name of what it is represented. In this case, people with different background are collected by their love for music and wanted a picture as the fans desire the sign of their idol.

== Landscape Symbol 3-Documenta 6 Kassel, Vera Hausmanns ==

Image:groupI_slide2.JPG|slide 2
Image:groupI_slide3.JPG|slide 3
</gallery>

This art installation is a work of art of the documenta. The documenta is an art exhibition of modern art, which takes place each seven years at Kassel. It is called "Rahmenbau" or "Landschaft im Dia", what means in English something like framing or landscape in a slide. It is built 1977 by a group of architects and artists on the occasion of the documenta 6. In former times on this place has been a building called "Auetor". The "Auetor" should depict a window to the landscape. When a big theater has been built at this place the "Auetor" is torn off. After World War II the view to the landscape has been free again. So they built this art installation for the documenta to remember on the "Auetor" and made a new window to the landscape possible.

I think, this work of art has a historical background. I am sure, that most of the people that visited it didn't know about this. They only see the art installation of the documenta 6. So I would like to say it has changed his meaning from a modern "reconstruction" of the "Auetor" to a work of art of the documenta 6. I would classify it as a chnange of meaning in a cultural way. And I think this meaning concern only Kassel.

Inside the frame you can see all the important parts that represent Kassel. In the front of the view, you can see the "Orangerie" which show you the history of the town. In the background you can see a smoke stack which represents the industry and in the front of the frame you see the "Friedrichsplatz" with all the people. For me these things are the parts that represent Kassel. I am not sure if this is only a very personal interpretation or if other people are thinking the same. In his properties as a work of art representing the documenta 6 as the exhibition of modern art it might have other meanings to other cultures and other people.

Color itself could be a significant symbol of Saint Petersburg. Since the foundation of the city, special attention has been paid to the color range used when designing facades of the buildings. The standards have been changing throughout the centuries, but some patterns still stay the same. Despite the fashion trends, warm colors have always dominated. This tendency can be explained quite easily. Saint Petersburg is a Nordic city, and it has rather cool and damp climate. Gloomy skies, cold weather and lack of the sunlight during the wintertime affect people both on physiological and psychological levels. Yellow, orange and light red colors of the buildings and street lighting imitate the sunshine and help to mitigate the negative effects of Nordic climate. Indirectly, this also influences different spheres of social life.

=== Reflections ===
Climate, location and soil formation of the country allows agriculture as one of the important sector in the economy of Bangladesh. Similarly a large number of population are directly involved in this sector. According to the World Bank, the total arable land in Bangladesh is 61.2 percent of the total land area. Since, the specific landscape or the community where I grownup has a special contribution in agricultural sector, I have choose to explore it as a landscape symbol for this seminar.

‘Rajshahi’ is the north of Bangladesh and the climate is classified as tropical, also known as warmer city of the country. Therefore, the particular climate and soil formation permits to grow a mango trees. Almost every house has a single tree of it and outside of the town a huge horizon is covered by the mango gardens. At the same time is a pleasant green all over the year and large agro industry for a specific season. The amount of the production is much high that is exported to abroad after satisfying the need of the country.

The whole process, from the field to the market and till to the consumer, a large number of people involved. The farmers are the mail persons who confirm the supply. It’s an open market for all kind of people who are interested to buy. The two centered picture shows the circumstances of this process. Therefore, it has a large impact on the local economy. Likewise, the mango-based trade and business has changed the rural economic scenario of the region as a whole.

To praise the situation and as local pride in very often the representation can be seen as a form of sculpture or in printing media.

This art installation is a work of art of the documenta. The documenta is an art exhibition of modern art, which takes place each seven years at Kassel. It is called "Rahmenbau" or "Landschaft im Dia", what means in English something like framing or landscape in a slide. It is built 1977 by a group of architects and artists on the occasion of the documenta 6. In former times on this place has been a building called "Auetor". The "Auetor" should depict a window to the landscape. When a big theater has been built at this place the "Auetor" is torn off. After World War II the view to the landscape has been free again. So they built this art installation for the documenta to remember on the "Auetor" and made a new window to the landscape possible.

I think, this work of art has a historical background. I am sure, that most of the people that visited it didn't know about this. They only see the art installation of the documenta 6. So I would like to say it has changed his meaning from a modern "reconstruction" of the "Auetor" to a work of art of the documenta 6. I would classify it as a chnange of meaning in a cultural way. And I think this meaning concern only Kassel.

Inside the frame you can see all the important parts that represent Kassel. In the front of the view, you can see the "Orangerie" which show you the history of the town. In the background you can see a smoke stack which represents the industry and in the front of the frame you see the "Friedrichsplatz" with all the people. For me these things are the parts that represent Kassel. I am not sure if this is only a very personal interpretation or if other people are thinking the same. In his properties as a work of art representing the documenta 6 as the exhibition of modern art it might have other meanings to other cultures and other people.

Color itself could be a significant symbol of Saint Petersburg. Since the foundation of the city, special attention has been paid to the color range used when designing facades of the buildings. The standards have been changing throughout the centuries, but some patterns still stay the same. Despite the fashion trends, warm colors have always dominated. This tendency can be explained quite easily. Saint Petersburg is a Nordic city, and it has rather cool and damp climate. Gloomy skies, cold weather and lack of the sunlight during the wintertime affect people both on physiological and psychological levels. Yellow, orange and light red colors of the buildings and street lighting imitate the sunshine and help to mitigate the negative effects of Nordic climate. Indirectly, this also influences different spheres of social life.

=== Reflections ===
Climate, location and soil formation of the country allows agriculture as one of the important sector in the economy of Bangladesh. Similarly a large number of population are directly involved in this sector. According to the World Bank, the total arable land in Bangladesh is 61.2 percent of the total land area. Since, the specific landscape or the community where I grownup has a special contribution in agricultural sector, I have choose to explore it as a landscape symbol for this seminar.

‘Rajshahi’ is the north of Bangladesh and the climate is classified as tropical, also known as warmer city of the country. Therefore, the particular climate and soil formation permits to grow a mango trees. Almost every house has a single tree of it and outside of the town a huge horizon is covered by the mango gardens. At the same time is a pleasant green all over the year and large agro industry for a specific season. The amount of the production is much high that is exported to abroad after satisfying the need of the country.

The whole process, from the field to the market and till to the consumer, a large number of people involved. The farmers are the mail persons who confirm the supply. It’s an open market for all kind of people who are interested to buy. The two centered picture shows the circumstances of this process. Therefore, it has a large impact on the local economy. Likewise, the mango-based trade and business has changed the rural economic scenario of the region as a whole.

To praise the situation and as local pride in very often the representation can be seen as a form of sculpture or in printing media.
