==Seminar process at a glance ==

[[File:Ola seminar programme overview 2025.png|500px|none|thumb|'''Seminar process:''' Click to enlarge. We meet weekly online at 18 pm CET on Wednesday from April 2 to July 2, an additional meeting opportunity is weekly from 12 00 - 13 00 pm CET]]

==Background of your team==
''Please present your team briefly. Which linguistic and cultural perspectives does each member bring in? Which disciplinary backgrounds are present in your team? Note: if you prefer to stay anonymous on this wiki, you can also use initials only or a nick name''

*'''Nabila Rahman,''' I bring a linguistic and cultural perspective from Bangladesh, enriched by my experience living and studying in Italy. This mix allows me to understand both South Asian and European contexts. My disciplinary background is in Architecture, and I am currently pursuing my master’s degree at the University of Bologna.
*'''Miriam Juríčková''': my linguistic and cultural perspective is from Slovakia where I am from, combined with studying experiences from Latvia and Turkey. As Turkey is country outside of the European Union, I was able to compare two different perspectives of life. I am currently finishing my master thesis in the field of Landscape architecture at the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava, but my studies are mostly concerned about the water of landscape and eco activities.
*'''Elas Moses,''' I am from the USA where I studied Environmental Science for my bachelors. There I also worked as a landscape gardener focusing on ecological, pollinator-friendly practices. I am currently working on a masters in Landscape Architecture at HfWU in Germany.
*'''Alireza Bakhshalipour Gavgani''', I am originally from Tabriz, Iran. I bring a background in architectural engineering combined with professional experience leading sustainable urban regeneration and landscape design projects. Currently, I am pursuing my master’s in the International Master of Landscape Architecture (IMLA) program. My interests focus on community-oriented planning, ecological infrastructure, and the democratic transformation of public spaces, aiming to create inclusive and resilient environments.

==Your Landscape Democracy Manifestoes (Phase A) ==
''Here you can add here the links to the manifestoes you have presented on April 23. Please make sure that the links are accessible. You can also add them directly here on the wiki, they need to be png or jpg format then.''

== Entering the Process: Activism, Community and Power (Phase B) ==
=== Global Landscape Democracy Role Models and Design Activism===
*Due: May 14

At the beginning of phase B we ask you to identify people who are already active for democratic landscape transformation. These can be planners and designers, NGOs, collectives or activists, or people operating creatively at the interface of these categories. 'Design activism' is a possible overarching category. We created [[Resources_and_Literature_Landscape_and_Democracy#Short_List_of_Landscape_Democracy_'Movers_and_Shakers'_(to_be_extended)|a list]] some time ago, but it has a very US/European focus, due to the history of our project. We really want to expand this and hope you can bring in new people and movements from around the globe.

On May 14, every team member introduces a landscape democracy activist/or design activist individual or group. Please add the people you introduced, you may also add the presentation material used with a downloadable link:

== Your Team's Landscape Democracy Challenge (Phase B) ==
* Due: May 21
=== Context and Location ===
''Briefly describe here the context the landscape democracy challenge you selected on April 23, 2-3 sentences, you may add the link to the manifesto that already exists''

Shrinking green space in Dhaka, Bangladesh -- In 1995, 13.45% of the city's total area was dedicated green space. Today, the total green space has shrunk to only 7.09%, resulting in a noticeable increase in the heat island effect of the city.

=== Landscape and Community Map ===
''Present here a visual representation of the landscape and community context of the area. What are the main spatial features? Which actors can you identify and how are they related to the area? Which values exist and for whom? What is at risk and why? Try to generate creative/conceptual/synthetic representation''

=== Power Map ===
''Based on the landscape and community context depicted above: How is power distributed? Who and what has a lot of power? Who and what has no power? Who and what is strongly affected by the landscape democracy challenges? Who and what is less affected? Are these actors connected or disconnected? Any veto-players known? Try to generate creative/conceptual/synthetic representation''

'''You can present your results in this gallery:'''

File:PowerMap.png|Power map
</gallery>

== Your Team's Landscape Democracy Vision and Ideas (Phase C) ==
* Due: June 18

=== Collective Vision ===
''If you were to redesign the power map of your area and start a process of democratic landscape transformation: Which long term-goal could keep the process going? What could be a collective vision that integrates the goals of your team? Give a name to your vision. Try to generate creative/conceptual/synthetic representation.''

=== A prototype of the first step ===
''How would you enter the process? Which prototype could activate it? How would you introduce the prototype to the community?''

'''You can present your results in this gallery:'''

== Cross-cutting activity: Readings, concepts and definitions (Phases A - D) ==
*Due: July 2, 2025

While working in your group, please start to express your personal understanding of the relation of landscape and democracy in the form of a concept map with linking words or any other diagrammatic representation. Please make your maps very visual and not just verbal. Think critically about why one map differs from another.

The final product is a '''shared concept map''' that integrates the various understandings present within your team.

=== About concept mapping ===

Before starting the exercise you can read this article by Joseph D. Novak & Alberto J. Cañas about [http://cmap.ihmc.us/Publications/ResearchPapers/TheoryCmaps/TheoryUnderlyingConceptMaps.htm Theory Underlying Concept Maps and How to Construct and Use Them]. This paper gives a good explanation of how concept maps are conceived and developed.

You can use any tool you like for producing your concept map. However, since the result needs to be submitted digitally we recommend the following open source software for producing your maps:
* [http://cmap.ihmc.us Cmap Tools] >>> you can also work with your group on the Cmap cloud doing a shared map
* [http://vue.tufts.edu VUE - The Visual Understanding Environment]
* Use a '''shared whiteboard''' to develop your integrated concept map, such as [http://miro.com/ MIRO] or [http://mural.co/ MURAL]

=== How to present your concept maps ===
* Possible format: JPG (for wiki upload) or link to any other resource
* We give you below a draft image gallery where you can add pictures of your map (in JPG or PNG format)
* You can present your integrated understanding as one concept map '''or''' your present individual ones '''and''' the integrated one.
* add as many additional materials as you need

===Overview of your concept maps (individual and integrated)===

[[File:Landscape Democracy concept map.jpg|thumb|Nabila Rahman concept map|none]]

[[File:Integrated concept map.png|thumb|Integrated concept map (similiarities and differences)|none]]

== Please finish with a short reflection (Phase D) ==
Due: July 9, 2025

* What are the similarities and differences in your team regarding your understanding of what democratic landscape transformation is?
* In how far did the seminar lectures and readings help you to clarify this?
* What will you take home from this seminar?

As we came from different backgrounds our perspective was really diverse and the similarities and differences found amongst our team members can be seen in our combined concept map. Sustainability and participatory design are some key shared elements, while equity and empowerment were not found in all the individual maps.

The seminar lectures and readings helped us to understand the meaning of participatory design and landscape democracy as a tool for community engagement. We started to understand the concepts from phase B. This seminar was very helpful in understanding landscape as a whole and it was such a interesting interactive process. We took home lots of new ideas and concepts which we learnt from this seminar.

As Turkey is country outside of the European Union, I was able to compare two different perspectives of life. I am currently finishing my master thesis in the field of Landscape architecture at the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava, but my studies are mostly concerned about the water of landscape and eco activities.
*'''Elas Moses,''' I am from the USA where I studied Environmental Science for my bachelors. There I also worked as a landscape gardener focusing on ecological, pollinator-friendly practices. I am currently working on a masters in Landscape Architecture at HfWU in Germany.
*'''Alireza Bakhshalipour Gavgani''', I am originally from Tabriz, Iran. I bring a background in architectural engineering combined with professional experience leading sustainable urban regeneration and landscape design projects. Currently, I am pursuing my master’s in the International Master of Landscape Architecture (IMLA) program. My interests focus on community-oriented planning, ecological infrastructure, and the democratic transformation of public spaces, aiming to create inclusive and resilient environments.

==Your Landscape Democracy Manifestoes (Phase A) ==
''Here you can add here the links to the manifestoes you have presented on April 23. Please make sure that the links are accessible. You can also add them directly here on the wiki, they need to be png or jpg format then.''

== Entering the Process: Activism, Community and Power (Phase B) ==
=== Global Landscape Democracy Role Models and Design Activism===
*Due: May 14

At the beginning of phase B we ask you to identify people who are already active for democratic landscape transformation. These can be planners and designers, NGOs, collectives or activists, or people operating creatively at the interface of these categories. 'Design activism' is a possible overarching category. We created [[Resources_and_Literature_Landscape_and_Democracy#Short_List_of_Landscape_Democracy_'Movers_and_Shakers'_(to_be_extended)|a list]] some time ago, but it has a very US/European focus, due to the history of our project. We really want to expand this and hope you can bring in new people and movements from around the globe.

On May 14, every team member introduces a landscape democracy activist/or design activist individual or group. Please add the people you introduced, you may also add the presentation material used with a downloadable link:

== Your Team's Landscape Democracy Challenge (Phase B) ==
* Due: May 21
=== Context and Location ===
''Briefly describe here the context the landscape democracy challenge you selected on April 23, 2-3 sentences, you may add the link to the manifesto that already exists''

Shrinking green space in Dhaka, Bangladesh -- In 1995, 13.45% of the city's total area was dedicated green space. Today, the total green space has shrunk to only 7.09%, resulting in a noticeable increase in the heat island effect of the city.

=== Landscape and Community Map ===
''Present here a visual representation of the landscape and community context of the area. What are the main spatial features? Which actors can you identify and how are they related to the area? Which values exist and for whom? What is at risk and why? Try to generate creative/conceptual/synthetic representation''

=== Power Map ===
''Based on the landscape and community context depicted above: How is power distributed? Who and what has a lot of power? Who and what has no power? Who and what is strongly affected by the landscape democracy challenges? Who and what is less affected? Are these actors connected or disconnected? Any veto-players known? Try to generate creative/conceptual/synthetic representation''

'''You can present your results in this gallery:'''

<gallery widths="500" heights="200" perrow="1">
File:Community-landscape map.png|Community/landscape map
File:PowerMap.png|Power map
</gallery>

== Your Team's Landscape Democracy Vision and Ideas (Phase C) ==
* Due: June 18

=== Collective Vision ===
''If you were to redesign the power map of your area and start a process of democratic landscape transformation: Which long term-goal could keep the process going? What could be a collective vision that integrates the goals of your team? Give a name to your vision. Try to generate creative/conceptual/synthetic representation.''

=== A prototype of the first step ===
''How would you enter the process? Which prototype could activate it? How would you introduce the prototype to the community?''

'''You can present your results in this gallery:'''
[[File:Dhaka vision.png|left|thumb|568x568px|Green Dhaka Vision[[File:Prototype dhaka.png|thumb|730x730px|Prototype - Social media post for lake cleanup event|none]]]]

== Cross-cutting activity: Readings, concepts and definitions (Phases A - D) ==
*Due: July 2, 2025

While working in your group, please start to express your personal understanding of the relation of landscape and democracy in the form of a concept map with linking words or any other diagrammatic representation. Please make your maps very visual and not just verbal. Think critically about why one map differs from another.

The final product is a '''shared concept map''' that integrates the various understandings present within your team.

=== About concept mapping ===

Before starting the exercise you can read this article by Joseph D. Novak & Alberto J. Cañas about [http://cmap.ihmc.us/Publications/ResearchPapers/TheoryCmaps/TheoryUnderlyingConceptMaps.htm Theory Underlying Concept Maps and How to Construct and Use Them]. This paper gives a good explanation of how concept maps are conceived and developed.

You can use any tool you like for producing your concept map. However, since the result needs to be submitted digitally we recommend the following open source software for producing your maps:
* [http://cmap.ihmc.us Cmap Tools] >>> you can also work with your group on the Cmap cloud doing a shared map
* [http://vue.tufts.edu VUE - The Visual Understanding Environment]
* Use a '''shared whiteboard''' to develop your integrated concept map, such as [http://miro.com/ MIRO] or [http://mural.co/ MURAL]

=== How to present your concept maps ===
* Possible format: JPG (for wiki upload) or link to any other resource
* We give you below a draft image gallery where you can add pictures of your map (in JPG or PNG format)
* You can present your integrated understanding as one concept map '''or''' your present individual ones '''and''' the integrated one.
* add as many additional materials as you need

===Overview of your concept maps (individual and integrated)===
[[File:Inclusive Participation and Decision-Making.jpg|border|left|thumb|Alireza Bakhshalipour Gavgani]]

[[File:Landscape Democracy concept map.jpg|left|thumb|Nabila Rahman concept map]]

[[File:Integrated concept map.png|thumb|Integrated concept map (similiarities and differences)|none]]

== Please finish with a short reflection (Phase D) ==
Due: July 9, 2025

* What are the similarities and differences in your team regarding your understanding of what democratic landscape transformation is?
* In how far did the seminar lectures and readings help you to clarify this?
* What will you take home from this seminar?

The similarities and differences found amongst our team members can be seen in our combined concept map. Sustainability and participatory design are some key shared elements, while equity and empowerment were not found in all the individual maps.

== Entering the Process: Activism, Community and Power (Phase B) ==
=== Global Landscape Democracy Role Models and Design Activism===
*Due: May 14

At the beginning of phase B we ask you to identify people who are already active for democratic landscape transformation. These can be planners and designers, NGOs, collectives or activists, or people operating creatively at the interface of these categories. 'Design activism' is a possible overarching category. We created [[Resources_and_Literature_Landscape_and_Democracy#Short_List_of_Landscape_Democracy_'Movers_and_Shakers'_(to_be_extended)|a list]] some time ago, but it has a very US/European focus, due to the history of our project. We really want to expand this and hope you can bring in new people and movements from around the globe.

On May 14, every team member introduces a landscape democracy activist/or design activist individual or group. Please add the people you introduced, you may also add the presentation material used with a downloadable link:

*Alireza Bakhshalipour Gavgani[[File:Screenshot (72).png|thumb|center]]

== Your Team's Landscape Democracy Challenge (Phase B) ==
* Due: May 21
=== Context and Location ===
''Briefly describe here the context the landscape democracy challenge you selected on April 23, 2-3 sentences, you may add the link to the manifesto that already exists''

Shrinking green space in Dhaka, Bangladesh -- In 1995, 13.45% of the city's total area was dedicated green space. Today, the total green space has shrunk to only 7.09%, resulting in a noticeable increase in the heat island effect of the city.

=== Landscape and Community Map ===
''Present here a visual representation of the landscape and community context of the area. What are the main spatial features? Which actors can you identify and how are they related to the area? Which values exist and for whom? What is at risk and why? Try to generate creative/conceptual/synthetic representation''

=== Power Map ===
''Based on the landscape and community context depicted above: How is power distributed? Who and what has a lot of power? Who and what has no power? Who and what is strongly affected by the landscape democracy challenges? Who and what is less affected? Are these actors connected or disconnected? Any veto-players known? Try to generate creative/conceptual/synthetic representation''

'''You can present your results in this gallery:'''

<gallery widths="500" heights="200" perrow="1">
File:Community-landscape map.png|Community/landscape map
File:PowerMap.png|Power map
</gallery>

== Your Team's Landscape Democracy Vision and Ideas (Phase C) ==
* Due: June 18

=== Collective Vision ===
''If you were to redesign the power map of your area and start a process of democratic landscape transformation: Which long term-goal could keep the process going? What could be a collective vision that integrates the goals of your team? Give a name to your vision. Try to generate creative/conceptual/synthetic representation.''

=== A prototype of the first step ===
''How would you enter the process? Which prototype could activate it? How would you introduce the prototype to the community?''

'''You can present your results in this gallery:'''
[[File:Dhaka vision.png|left|thumb|568x568px|Green Dhaka Vision[[File:Prototype dhaka.png|thumb|730x730px|Prototype - Social media post for lake cleanup event|none]]]]

== Cross-cutting activity: Readings, concepts and definitions (Phases A - D) ==
*Due: July 2, 2025

While working in your group, please start to express your personal understanding of the relation of landscape and democracy in the form of a concept map with linking words or any other diagrammatic representation. Please make your maps very visual and not just verbal. Think critically about why one map differs from another.

The final product is a '''shared concept map''' that integrates the various understandings present within your team.

=== About concept mapping ===

Before starting the exercise you can read this article by Joseph D. Novak & Alberto J. Cañas about [http://cmap.ihmc.us/Publications/ResearchPapers/TheoryCmaps/TheoryUnderlyingConceptMaps.htm Theory Underlying Concept Maps and How to Construct and Use Them]. This paper gives a good explanation of how concept maps are conceived and developed.

You can use any tool you like for producing your concept map. However, since the result needs to be submitted digitally we recommend the following open source software for producing your maps:
* [http://cmap.ihmc.us Cmap Tools] >>> you can also work with your group on the Cmap cloud doing a shared map
* [http://vue.tufts.edu VUE - The Visual Understanding Environment]
* Use a '''shared whiteboard''' to develop your integrated concept map, such as [http://miro.com/ MIRO] or [http://mural.co/ MURAL]

=== How to present your concept maps ===
* Possible format: JPG (for wiki upload) or link to any other resource
* We give you below a draft image gallery where you can add pictures of your map (in JPG or PNG format)
* You can present your integrated understanding as one concept map '''or''' your present individual ones '''and''' the integrated one.
* add as many additional materials as you need

===Overview of your concept maps (individual and integrated)===

File:Landscape Democracy concept map.jpg|Nabila Rahman
</gallery>

== Please finish with a short reflection (Phase D) ==
Due: July 9, 2025

* What are the similarities and differences in your team regarding your understanding of what democratic landscape transformation is?
* In how far did the seminar lectures and readings help you to clarify this?
* What will you take home from this seminar?

The similarities and differences found amongst our team members can be seen in our combined concept map. Sustainability and participatory design are some key shared elements, while equity and empowerment were not found in all the individual maps.

[[File:Ola seminar programme overview 2025.png|500px|none|thumb|'''Seminar process:''' Click to enlarge. We meet weekly online at 18 pm CET on Wednesday from April 2 to July 2, an additional meeting opportunity is weekly from 12 00 - 13 00 pm CET]]

==Background of your team==
''Please present your team briefly. Which linguistic and cultural perspectives does each member bring in? Which disciplinary backgrounds are present in your team? Note: if you prefer to stay anonymous on this wiki, you can also use initials only or a nick name''

*'''Nabila Rahman,''' I bring a linguistic and cultural perspective from Bangladesh, enriched by my experience living and studying in Italy. This mix allows me to understand both South Asian and European contexts. My disciplinary background is in Architecture, and I am currently pursuing my master’s degree at the University of Bologna.
*'''Miriam Juríčková''': my linguistic and cultural perspective is from Slovakia where I am from, combined with studying experiences from Latvia and Turkey. As Turkey is country outside of the European Union, I was able to compare two different perspectives of life. I am currently finishing my master thesis in the field of Landscape architecture at the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava, but my studies are mostly concerned about the water of landscape and eco activities.
*'''Elas Moses,''' I am from the USA where I studied Environmental Science for my bachelors. There I also worked as a landscape gardener focusing on ecological, pollinator-friendly practices. I am currently working on a masters in Landscape Architecture at HfWU in Germany.
*'''Alireza Bakhshalipour Gavgani''', I am originally from Tabriz, Iran. I bring a background in architectural engineering combined with professional experience leading sustainable urban regeneration and landscape design projects. Currently, I am pursuing my master’s in the International Master of Landscape Architecture (IMLA) program. My interests focus on community-oriented planning, ecological infrastructure, and the democratic transformation of public spaces, aiming to create inclusive and resilient environments.

== Entering the Process: Activism, Community and Power (Phase B) ==
=== Global Landscape Democracy Role Models and Design Activism===
*Due: May 14

At the beginning of phase B we ask you to identify people who are already active for democratic landscape transformation. These can be planners and designers, NGOs, collectives or activists, or people operating creatively at the interface of these categories. 'Design activism' is a possible overarching category. We created [[Resources_and_Literature_Landscape_and_Democracy#Short_List_of_Landscape_Democracy_'Movers_and_Shakers'_(to_be_extended)|a list]] some time ago, but it has a very US/European focus, due to the history of our project. We really want to expand this and hope you can bring in new people and movements from around the globe.

On May 14, every team member introduces a landscape democracy activist/or design activist individual or group. Please add the people you introduced, you may also add the presentation material used with a downloadable link:

== Your Team's Landscape Democracy Challenge (Phase B) ==
* Due: May 21
=== Context and Location ===
''Briefly describe here the context the landscape democracy challenge you selected on April 23, 2-3 sentences, you may add the link to the manifesto that already exists''

Shrinking green space in Dhaka, Bangladesh -- In 1995, 13.45% of the city's total area was dedicated green space. Today, the total green space has shrunk to only 7.09%, resulting in a noticeable increase in the heat island effect of the city.

=== Landscape and Community Map ===
''Present here a visual representation of the landscape and community context of the area. What are the main spatial features? Which actors can you identify and how are they related to the area? Which values exist and for whom? What is at risk and why? Try to generate creative/conceptual/synthetic representation''

=== Power Map ===
''Based on the landscape and community context depicted above: How is power distributed? Who and what has a lot of power? Who and what has no power? Who and what is strongly affected by the landscape democracy challenges? Who and what is less affected? Are these actors connected or disconnected? Any veto-players known? Try to generate creative/conceptual/synthetic representation''

'''You can present your results in this gallery:'''

File:PowerMap.png|Power map
</gallery>

== Your Team's Landscape Democracy Vision and Ideas (Phase C) ==
* Due: June 18

=== Collective Vision ===
''If you were to redesign the power map of your area and start a process of democratic landscape transformation: Which long term-goal could keep the process going? What could be a collective vision that integrates the goals of your team? Give a name to your vision. Try to generate creative/conceptual/synthetic representation.''

=== A prototype of the first step ===
''How would you enter the process? Which prototype could activate it? How would you introduce the prototype to the community?''

'''You can present your results in this gallery:'''

== Cross-cutting activity: Readings, concepts and definitions (Phases A - D) ==
*Due: July 2, 2025

While working in your group, please start to express your personal understanding of the relation of landscape and democracy in the form of a concept map with linking words or any other diagrammatic representation. Please make your maps very visual and not just verbal. Think critically about why one map differs from another.

The final product is a '''shared concept map''' that integrates the various understandings present within your team.

=== About concept mapping ===

Before starting the exercise you can read this article by Joseph D. Novak & Alberto J. Cañas about [http://cmap.ihmc.us/Publications/ResearchPapers/TheoryCmaps/TheoryUnderlyingConceptMaps.htm Theory Underlying Concept Maps and How to Construct and Use Them]. This paper gives a good explanation of how concept maps are conceived and developed.

You can use any tool you like for producing your concept map. However, since the result needs to be submitted digitally we recommend the following open source software for producing your maps:
* [http://cmap.ihmc.us Cmap Tools] >>> you can also work with your group on the Cmap cloud doing a shared map
* [http://vue.tufts.edu VUE - The Visual Understanding Environment]
* Use a '''shared whiteboard''' to develop your integrated concept map, such as [http://miro.com/ MIRO] or [http://mural.co/ MURAL]

=== How to present your concept maps ===
* Possible format: JPG (for wiki upload) or link to any other resource
* We give you below a draft image gallery where you can add pictures of your map (in JPG or PNG format)
* You can present your integrated understanding as one concept map '''or''' your present individual ones '''and''' the integrated one.
* add as many additional materials as you need

===Overview of your concept maps (individiual and integrated)===

== Please finish with a short reflection (Phase D) ==
Due: July 9, 2025

* What are the similarities and differences in your team regarding your understanding of what democratic landscape transformation is?
* In how far did the seminar lectures and readings help you to clarify this?
* What will you take home from this seminar?

==Background of your team==
''Please present your team briefly. Which linguistic and cultural perspectives does each member bring in? Which disciplinary backgrounds are present in your team? Note: if you prefer to stay anonymous on this wiki, you can also use initials only or a nick name''

*'''Nabila Rahman,''' I bring a linguistic and cultural perspective from Bangladesh, enriched by my experience living and studying in Italy. This mix allows me to understand both South Asian and European contexts. My disciplinary background is in Architecture, and I am currently pursuing my master’s degree at the University of Bologna.
*'''Miriam Juríčková''': my linguistic and cultural perspective is from Slovakia where I am from, combined with studying experiences from Latvia and Turkey. As Turkey is country outside of the European Union, I was able to compare two different perspectives of life. I am currently finishing my master thesis in the field of Landscape architecture at the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava, but my studies are mostly concerned about the water of landscape and eco activities.
*'''Elas Moses,''' I am from the USA where I studied Environmental Science for my bachelors. There I also worked as a landscape gardener focusing on ecological, pollinator-friendly practices. I am currently working on a masters in Landscape Architecture at HfWU in Germany.
*'''Alireza Bakhshalipour Gavgani''', I am originally from Tabriz, Iran. I bring a background in architectural engineering combined with professional experience leading sustainable urban regeneration and landscape design projects. Currently, I am pursuing my master’s in the International Master of Landscape Architecture (IMLA) program. My interests focus on community-oriented planning, ecological infrastructure, and the democratic transformation of public spaces, aiming to create inclusive and resilient environments.

These can be planners and designers, NGOs, collectives or activists, or people operating creatively at the interface of these categories. 'Design activism' is a possible overarching category. We created [[Resources_and_Literature_Landscape_and_Democracy#Short_List_of_Landscape_Democracy_'Movers_and_Shakers'_(to_be_extended)|a list]] some time ago, but it has a very US/European focus, due to the history of our project. We really want to expand this and hope you can bring in new people and movements from around the globe.

On May 14, every team member introduces a landscape democracy activist/or design activist individual or group. Please add the people you introduced, you may also add the presentation material used with a downloadable link:

== Your Team's Landscape Democracy Challenge (Phase B) ==
* Due: May 21
=== Context and Location ===
''Briefly describe here the context the landscape democracy challenge you selected on April 23, 2-3 sentences, you may add the link to the manifesto that already exists''

Shrinking green space in Dhaka, Bangladesh -- In 1995, 13.45% of the city's total area was dedicated green space. Today, the total green space has shrunk to only 7.09%, resulting in a noticeable increase in the heat island effect of the city.

=== Landscape and Community Map ===
''Present here a visual representation of the landscape and community context of the area. What are the main spatial features? Which actors can you identify and how are they related to the area? Which values exist and for whom? What is at risk and why? Try to generate creative/conceptual/synthetic representation''

=== Power Map ===
''Based on the landscape and community context depicted above: How is power distributed? Who and what has a lot of power? Who and what has no power? Who and what is strongly affected by the landscape democracy challenges? Who and what is less affected? Are these actors connected or disconnected? Any veto-players known? Try to generate creative/conceptual/synthetic representation''

'''You can present your results in this gallery:'''

File:PowerMap.png|Power map
</gallery>

== Your Team's Landscape Democracy Vision and Ideas (Phase C) ==
* Due: June 18

=== Collective Vision ===
''If you were to redesign the power map of your area and start a process of democratic landscape transformation: Which long term-goal could keep the process going? What could be a collective vision that integrates the goals of your team? Give a name to your vision. Try to generate creative/conceptual/synthetic representation.''

=== A prototype of the first step ===
''How would you enter the process? Which prototype could activate it? How would you introduce the prototype to the community?''

'''You can present your results in this gallery:'''
[[File:Dhaka vision.png|left|thumb|568x568px|Green Dhaka Vision[[File:Prototype dhaka.png|thumb|730x730px|Prototype - Social media post for lake cleanup event|none]]]]

== Cross-cutting activity: Readings, concepts and definitions (Phases A - D) ==
*Due: July 2, 2025

While working in your group, please start to express your personal understanding of the relation of landscape and democracy in the form of a concept map with linking words or any other diagrammatic representation. Please make your maps very visual and not just verbal. Think critically about why one map differs from another.

The final product is a '''shared concept map''' that integrates the various understandings present within your team.

=== About concept mapping ===

Before starting the exercise you can read this article by Joseph D. Novak & Alberto J. Cañas about [http://cmap.ihmc.us/Publications/ResearchPapers/TheoryCmaps/TheoryUnderlyingConceptMaps.htm Theory Underlying Concept Maps and How to Construct and Use Them]. This paper gives a good explanation of how concept maps are conceived and developed.

You can use any tool you like for producing your concept map. However, since the result needs to be submitted digitally we recommend the following open source software for producing your maps:
* [http://cmap.ihmc.us Cmap Tools] >>> you can also work with your group on the Cmap cloud doing a shared map
* [http://vue.tufts.edu VUE - The Visual Understanding Environment]
* Use a '''shared whiteboard''' to develop your integrated concept map, such as [http://miro.com/ MIRO] or [http://mural.co/ MURAL]

=== How to present your concept maps ===
* Possible format: JPG (for wiki upload) or link to any other resource
* We give you below a draft image gallery where you can add pictures of your map (in JPG or PNG format)
* You can present your integrated understanding as one concept map '''or''' your present individual ones '''and''' the integrated one.
* add as many additional materials as you need

===Overview of your concept maps (individiual and integrated)===

== Please finish with a short reflection (Phase D) ==
Due: July 9, 2025

* What are the similarities and differences in your team regarding your understanding of what democratic landscape transformation is?
* In how far did the seminar lectures and readings help you to clarify this?
* What will you take home from this seminar?

*'''Nabila Rahman,''' I bring a linguistic and cultural perspective from Bangladesh, enriched by my experience living and studying in Italy. This mix allows me to understand both South Asian and European contexts. My disciplinary background is in Architecture, and I am currently pursuing my master’s degree at the University of Bologna.
*'''Miriam Juríčková''': my linguistic and cultural perspective is from Slovakia where I am from, combined with studying experiences from Latvia and Turkey. As Turkey is country outside of the European Union, I was able to compare two different perspectives of life. I am currently finishing my master thesis in the field of Landscape architecture at the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava, but my studies are mostly concerned about the water of landscape and eco activities.
*'''Elas Moses,''' I am from the USA where I studied Environmental Science for my bachelors. There I also worked as a landscape gardener focusing on ecological, pollinator-friendly practices. I am currently working on a masters in Landscape Architecture at HfWU in Germany.
*'''Alireza Bakhshalipour Gavgani''', I am originally from Tabriz, Iran. I bring a background in architectural engineering combined with professional experience leading sustainable urban regeneration and landscape design projects. Currently, I am pursuing my master’s in the International Master of Landscape Architecture (IMLA) program. My interests focus on community-oriented planning, ecological infrastructure, and the democratic transformation of public spaces, aiming to create inclusive and resilient environments.

== Cross-cutting activity: Readings, concepts and definitions (Phases A - D) ==
*Due: July 2, 2025

While working in your group, please start to express your personal understanding of the relation of landscape and democracy in the form of a concept map with linking words or any other diagrammatic representation. Please make your maps very visual and not just verbal. Think critically about why one map differs from another.

The final product is a '''shared concept map''' that integrates the various understandings present within your team.

=== About concept mapping ===

Before starting the exercise you can read this article by Joseph D. Novak & Alberto J. Cañas about [http://cmap.ihmc.us/Publications/ResearchPapers/TheoryCmaps/TheoryUnderlyingConceptMaps.htm Theory Underlying Concept Maps and How to Construct and Use Them]. This paper gives a good explanation of how concept maps are conceived and developed.

You can use any tool you like for producing your concept map. However, since the result needs to be submitted digitally we recommend the following open source software for producing your maps:
* [http://cmap.ihmc.us Cmap Tools] >>> you can also work with your group on the Cmap cloud doing a shared map
* [http://vue.tufts.edu VUE - The Visual Understanding Environment]
* Use a '''shared whiteboard''' to develop your integrated concept map, such as [http://miro.com/ MIRO] or [http://mural.co/ MURAL]

=== How to present your concept maps ===
* Possible format: JPG (for wiki upload) or link to any other resource
* We give you below a draft image gallery where you can add pictures of your map (in JPG or PNG format)
* You can present your integrated understanding as one concept map '''or''' your present individual ones '''and''' the integrated one.
* add as many additional materials as you need

*'''Nabila Rahman,''' I bring a linguistic and cultural perspective from Bangladesh, enriched by my experience living and studying in Italy. This mix allows me to understand both South Asian and European contexts. My disciplinary background is in Architecture, and I am currently pursuing my master’s degree at the University of Bologna.
*'''Miriam Juríčková''': my linguistic and cultural perspective is from Slovakia where I am from, combined with studying experiences from Latvia and Turkey. As Turkey is country outside of the European Union, I was able to compare two different perspectives of life. I am currently finishing my master thesis in the field of Landscape architecture at the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava, but my studies are mostly concerned about the water of landscape and eco activities.
*'''Elas Moses,''' I am from the USA where I studied Environmental Science for my bachelors. There I also worked as a landscape gardener focusing on ecological, pollinator-friendly practices. I am currently working on a masters in Landscape Architecture at HfWU in Germany.

== Entering the Process: Activism, Community and Power (Phase B) ==
=== Global Landscape Democracy Role Models and Design Activism===
*Due: May 14

At the beginning of phase B we ask you to identify people who are already active for democratic landscape transformation. These can be planners and designers, NGOs, collectives or activists, or people operating creatively at the interface of these categories. 'Design activism' is a possible overarching category. We created [[Resources_and_Literature_Landscape_and_Democracy#Short_List_of_Landscape_Democracy_'Movers_and_Shakers'_(to_be_extended)|a list]] some time ago, but it has a very US/European focus, due to the history of our project. We really want to expand this and hope you can bring in new people and movements from around the globe.

On May 14, every team member introduces a landscape democracy activist/or design activist individual or group. Please add the people you introduced, you may also add the presentation material used with a downloadable link:

*Nabila Rahman,Khondoker Hasibul kabir [[wikipedia:Khondaker_Hasibul_Kabir|add link]]

* Due: May 21
=== Context and Location ===
''Briefly describe here the context the landscape democracy challenge you selected on April 23, 2-3 sentences, you may add the link to the manifesto that already exists''

Shrinking green space in Dhaka, Bangladesh -- In 1995, 13.45% of the city's total area was dedicated green space. Today, the total green space has shrunk to only 7.09%, resulting in a noticeable increase in the heat island effect of the city.

=== Landscape and Community Map ===
''Present here a visual representation of the landscape and community context of the area. What are the main spatial features? Which actors can you identify and how are they related to the area? Which values exist and for whom? What is at risk and why? Try to generate creative/conceptual/synthetic representation''

[[File:Ola seminar programme overview 2025.png|500px|none|thumb|'''Seminar process:''' Click to enlarge. We meet weekly online at 18 pm CET on Wednesday from April 2 to July 2, an additional meeting opportunity is weekly from 12 00 - 13 00 pm CET]]

==Background of your team==
''Please present your team briefly. Which linguistic and cultural perspectives does each member bring in? Which disciplinary backgrounds are present in your team? Note: if you prefer to stay anonymous on this wiki, you can also use initials only or a nick name''

*'''Nabila Rahman,''' I bring a linguistic and cultural perspective from Bangladesh, enriched by my experience living and studying in Italy. This mix allows me to understand both South Asian and European contexts. My disciplinary background is in Architecture, and I am currently pursuing my master’s degree at the University of Bologna.
*'''Miriam Juríčková''': my linguistic and cultural perspective is from Slovakia where I am from, combined with studying experiences from Latvia and Turkey. As Turkey is country outside of the European Union, I was able to compare two different perspectives of life. I am currently finishing my master thesis in the field of Landscape architecture at the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava, but my studies are mostly concerned about the water of landscape and eco activities.
*'''Elas Moses,''' I am from the USA where I studied Environmental Science for my bachelors. There I also worked as a landscape gardener focusing on ecological, pollinator-friendly practices. I am currently working on a masters in Landscape Architecture at HfWU in Germany.

== Entering the Process: Activism, Community and Power (Phase B) ==
=== Global Landscape Democracy Role Models and Design Activism===
*Due: May 14

At the beginning of phase B we ask you to identify people who are already active for democratic landscape transformation. These can be planners and designers, NGOs, collectives or activists, or people operating creatively at the interface of these categories. 'Design activism' is a possible overarching category. We created [[Resources_and_Literature_Landscape_and_Democracy#Short_List_of_Landscape_Democracy_'Movers_and_Shakers'_(to_be_extended)|a list]] some time ago, but it has a very US/European focus, due to the history of our project. We really want to expand this and hope you can bring in new people and movements from around the globe.

On May 14, every team member introduces a landscape democracy activist/or design activist individual or group. Please add the people you introduced, you may also add the presentation material used with a downloadable link:

*Nabila Rahman,Khondoker Hasibul kabir [[wikipedia:Khondaker_Hasibul_Kabir|add link]]
*Miriam Juríčková - one of my Landscape Democracy Role Models is our former president of Slovakia - Zuzana Čaputová. [http://xxxx add link]

== Your Team's Landscape Democracy Challenge (Phase B) ==
* Due: May 21
=== Context and Location ===
''Briefly describe here the context the landscape democracy challenge you selected on April 23, 2-3 sentences, you may add the link to the manifesto that already exists''

Shrinking green space in Dhaka, Bangladesh -- In 1995, 13.45% of the city's total area was dedicated green space. Today, the total green space has shrunk to only 7.09%, resulting in a noticeable increase in the heat island effect of the city.

=== Landscape and Community Map ===
''Present here a visual representation of the landscape and community context of the area. What are the main spatial features? Which actors can you identify and how are they related to the area? Which values exist and for whom? What is at risk and why? Try to generate creative/conceptual/synthetic representation''

=== Power Map ===
''Based on the landscape and community context depicted above: How is power distributed? Who and what has a lot of power? Who and what has no power? Who and what is strongly affected by the landscape democracy challenges? Who and what is less affected? Are these actors connected or disconnected? Any veto-players known? Try to generate creative/conceptual/synthetic representation''

'''You can present your results in this gallery:'''

<gallery widths="500" heights="200" perrow="1">
File:Community-landscape map.png|Community/landscape map
File:PowerMap.png|Power map
</gallery>

== Your Team's Landscape Democracy Vision and Ideas (Phase C) ==
* Due: June 18

=== Collective Vision ===
''If you were to redesign the power map of your area and start a process of democratic landscape transformation: Which long term-goal could keep the process going? What could be a collective vision that integrates the goals of your team? Give a name to your vision. Try to generate creative/conceptual/synthetic representation.''

=== A prototype of the first step ===
''How would you enter the process? Which prototype could activate it? How would you introduce the prototype to the community?''

'''You can present your results in this gallery:'''

<gallery caption="" widths="500px" heights="200px" perrow="1">
File:your vision_1.jpg|''add caption here''
File:your prototype_example 1.jpg|''add caption here''
File:your prototype_example 2.jpg|''add caption here''
</gallery>

== Cross-cutting activity: Readings, concepts and definitions (Phases A - D) ==
*Due: July 2, 2025

While working in your group, please start to express your personal understanding of the relation of landscape and democracy in the form of a concept map with linking words or any other diagrammatic representation. Please make your maps very visual and not just verbal. Think critically about why one map differs from another.

The final product is a '''shared concept map''' that integrates the various understandings present within your team.

=== About concept mapping ===

Before starting the exercise you can read this article by Joseph D. Novak & Alberto J. Cañas about [http://cmap.ihmc.us/Publications/ResearchPapers/TheoryCmaps/TheoryUnderlyingConceptMaps.htm Theory Underlying Concept Maps and How to Construct and Use Them]. This paper gives a good explanation of how concept maps are conceived and developed.

You can use any tool you like for producing your concept map. However, since the result needs to be submitted digitally we recommend the following open source software for producing your maps:
* [http://cmap.ihmc.us Cmap Tools] >>> you can also work with your group on the Cmap cloud doing a shared map
* [http://vue.tufts.edu VUE - The Visual Understanding Environment]
* Use a '''shared whiteboard''' to develop your integrated concept map, such as [http://miro.com/ MIRO] or [http://mural.co/ MURAL]

=== How to present your concept maps ===
* Possible format: JPG (for wiki upload) or link to any other resource
* We give you below a draft image gallery where you can add pictures of your map (in JPG or PNG format)
* You can present your integrated understanding as one concept map '''or''' your present individual ones '''and''' the integrated one.
* add as many additional materials as you need

===Overview of your concept maps (individiual and integrated)===

== Please finish with a short reflection (Phase D) ==
Due: July 9, 2025

* What are the similarities and differences in your team regarding your understanding of what democratic landscape transformation is?
* In how far did the seminar lectures and readings help you to clarify this?
* What will you take home from this seminar?

''Please present your team briefly. Which linguistic and cultural perspectives does each member bring in? Which disciplinary backgrounds are present in your team? Note: if you prefer to stay anonymous on this wiki, you can also use initials only or a nick name''

*'''Nabila Rahman,''' I bring a linguistic and cultural perspective from Bangladesh, enriched by my experience living and studying in Italy. This mix allows me to understand both South Asian and European contexts. My disciplinary background is in Architecture, and I am currently pursuing my master’s degree at the University of Bologna.
*'''Miriam Juríčková''': my linguistic and cultural perspective is from Slovakia where I am from, combined with studying experiences from Latvia and Turkey. As Turkey is country outside of the European Union, I was able to compare two different perspectives of life. I am currently finishing my master thesis in the field of Landscape architecture at the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava, but my studies are mostly concerned about the water of landscape and eco activities.
*'''Elas Moses,''' I am from the USA where I studied Environmental Science for my bachelors. There I also worked as a landscape gardener focusing on ecological, pollinator-friendly practices. I am currently working on a masters in Landscape Architecture at HfWU in Germany.

== Entering the Process: Activism, Community and Power (Phase B) ==
=== Global Landscape Democracy Role Models and Design Activism===
*Due: May 14

At the beginning of phase B we ask you to identify people who are already active for democratic landscape transformation. These can be planners and designers, NGOs, collectives or activists, or people operating creatively at the interface of these categories. 'Design activism' is a possible overarching category. We created [[Resources_and_Literature_Landscape_and_Democracy#Short_List_of_Landscape_Democracy_'Movers_and_Shakers'_(to_be_extended)|a list]] some time ago, but it has a very US/European focus, due to the history of our project. We really want to expand this and hope you can bring in new people and movements from around the globe.

On May 14, every team member introduces a landscape democracy activist/or design activist individual or group. Please add the people you introduced, you may also add the presentation material used with a downloadable link:

*team member, [http://xxxx add link]

These can be planners and designers, NGOs, collectives or activists, or people operating creatively at the interface of these categories. 'Design activism' is a possible overarching category. We created [[Resources_and_Literature_Landscape_and_Democracy#Short_List_of_Landscape_Democracy_'Movers_and_Shakers'_(to_be_extended)|a list]] some time ago, but it has a very US/European focus, due to the history of our project. We really want to expand this and hope you can bring in new people and movements from around the globe.

On May 14, every team member introduces a landscape democracy activist/or design activist individual or group. Please add the people you introduced, you may also add the presentation material used with a downloadable link:

== Your Team's Landscape Democracy Challenge (Phase B) ==
* Due: May 21
=== Context and Location ===
''Briefly describe here the context the landscape democracy challenge you selected on April 23, 2-3 sentences, you may add the link to the manifesto that already exists''

=== Landscape and Community Map ===
''Present here a visual representation of the landscape and community context of the area. What are the main spatial features? Which actors can you identify and how are they related to the area? Which values exist and for whom? What is at risk and why? Try to generate creative/conceptual/synthetic representation''

=== Power Map ===
''Based on the landscape and community context depicted above: How is power distributed? Who and what has a lot of power? Who and what has no power? Who and what is strongly affected by the landscape democracy challenges? Who and what is less affected? Are these actors connected or disconnected? Any veto-players known? Try to generate creative/conceptual/synthetic representation''

'''You can present your results in this gallery:'''

== Your Team's Landscape Democracy Vision and Ideas (Phase C) ==
* Due: June 18

=== Collective Vision ===
''If you were to redesign the power map of your area and start a process of democratic landscape transformation: Which long term-goal could keep the process going? What could be a collective vision that integrates the goals of your team? Give a name to your vision. Try to generate creative/conceptual/synthetic representation.''

=== A prototype of the first step ===
''How would you enter the process? Which prototype could activate it? How would you introduce the prototype to the community?''

'''You can present your results in this gallery:'''

== Cross-cutting activity: Readings, concepts and definitions (Phases A - D) ==
*Due: July 2, 2025

While working in your group, please start to express your personal understanding of the relation of landscape and democracy in the form of a concept map with linking words or any other diagrammatic representation. Please make your maps very visual and not just verbal. Think critically about why one map differs from another.

The final product is a '''shared concept map''' that integrates the various understandings present within your team.

=== About concept mapping ===

Before starting the exercise you can read this article by Joseph D. Novak & Alberto J. Cañas about [http://cmap.ihmc.us/Publications/ResearchPapers/TheoryCmaps/TheoryUnderlyingConceptMaps.htm Theory Underlying Concept Maps and How to Construct and Use Them]. This paper gives a good explanation of how concept maps are conceived and developed.

You can use any tool you like for producing your concept map. However, since the result needs to be submitted digitally we recommend the following open source software for producing your maps:
* [http://cmap.ihmc.us Cmap Tools] >>> you can also work with your group on the Cmap cloud doing a shared map
* [http://vue.tufts.edu VUE - The Visual Understanding Environment]
* Use a '''shared whiteboard''' to develop your integrated concept map, such as [http://miro.com/ MIRO] or [http://mural.co/ MURAL]

=== How to present your concept maps ===
* Possible format: JPG (for wiki upload) or link to any other resource
* We give you below a draft image gallery where you can add pictures of your map (in JPG or PNG format)
* You can present your integrated understanding as one concept map '''or''' your present individual ones '''and''' the integrated one.
* add as many additional materials as you need

===Overview of your concept maps (individiual and integrated)===
