[[File:1200x0.jpg|thumb|Karl Linn, An American Landscape Architect]]

== Activist: '''''Karl Linn(1923-2005)'',''' United States ==
Karl Linn is an American Landscape Architect, Psychologist, Educator, and Community Activist. Best known for inspiring and guiding the creation of "Neighborhood Commons" on vacant lots in East Coast inner cities during the 1960s-1980s.

He employed a strategy called “Urban Barn raising" .Linn is considered as 'Father of American Participatory Architecture' by many academic colleagues and architectural and environmental experts of the National Endowment for the Arts. Linn believed in “Participatory Architecture”. He engaged neighborhood residents, volunteer professionals, students, youth teams, social activists, and community gardeners in envisioning, designing, and constructing instant, temporary, and permanent gathering spaces in neighborhoods, on college campuses, at sites of major conferences and events.

'''Link to the full presentation with the overview of Linn´s life, works, philosophy of works, challenges he faced and the role playing of how he would address the challenge of chosen manifesto is given below:'''

'''Reflection:'''

I was so inspired by his philosophy of works. It was so amazing to learn how he gathered people from different cultures, background and ensured their participations in envisioning, designing and constructing of a project. How he produced positive self identifications within community members and design students was quite interesting. His tactics to focus on work training programs and the establishment of "Process Institutions" made me so amazed. Focusing on local assets like using local materials, blending Art with the nature was on of his strategy of works .

i learned from his works how to share knowledges and work together. In my perspective it´s really important to engaged the community to share knowledge and utilizing it for designing the common spaces they share.

'''Reflection:'''

His work strategy impressed me tremendously. It was fascinating to learn how he brought together people from all backgrounds and assured their participation in the conceptualization, planning, and construction of a project. His strategies to focus on job training programmes and the tool "Networking" astounded me. His efforts taught me how to share information and collaborate. In my opinion, it is vital to involve the community in the exchange of information and its application in the creation of cooperative environments.

== Readings, concepts and definitions ==
*Start: April 5, 2023
*Due: July 5, 2023

Working in your group, 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

'''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]

= '''Reflection''' =
* The similarities in our team is involvement of the communities and the difference we felt is the interactions of the communities on multiple levels. We have identified that the connecting factors in all three scenarios is the interaction between the community and the decision makers. It´s also visible that the cultural context and the involvement of the change makers varies across. Volunteers from respective fields such as activists, ecologists, political leaders and architects are bringing actions calling for change.
* The seminar helped in identifying different methods used across the world to bring positive change and also impactful even the slightest but carefully thought intervention could be beneficial.
* Even though we were aware about the need for change in the current climate crisis, there was confusion about how we could contribute. But this program, helped in opening up the opportunities to contribute in different ways.

[[File:1200x0.jpg|thumb|Karl Linn, An American Landscape Architect]]

== Activist: '''''Karl Linn(1923-2005)'',''' United States ==
Karl Linn is an American Landscape Architect, Psychologist, Educator, and Community Activist. Best known for inspiring and guiding the creation of "Neighborhood Commons" on vacant lots in East Coast inner cities during the 1960s-1980s.

He employed a strategy called “Urban Barn raising" .Linn is considered as 'Father of American Participatory Architecture' by many academic colleagues and architectural and environmental experts of the National Endowment for the Arts. Linn believed in “Participatory Architecture”. He engaged neighborhood residents, volunteer professionals, students, youth teams, social activists, and community gardeners in envisioning, designing, and constructing instant, temporary, and permanent gathering spaces in neighborhoods, on college campuses, at sites of major conferences and events.

'''Link to the full presentation with the overview of Linn´s life, works, philosophy of works, challenges he faced and the role playing of how he would address the challenge of chosen manifesto is given below:'''

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AXZ4cGHqLQUdTCVrcecbn7MaXD4kf-0i/view?usp=sharing

'''Reflection:'''

I was so inspired by his philosophy of works. It was so amazing to learn how he gathered people from different cultures, background and ensured their participations in envisioning, designing and constructing of a project. How he produced positive self identifications within community members and design students was quite interesting. His tactics to focus on work training programs and the establishment of "Process Institutions" made me so amazed. Focusing on local assets like using local materials, blending Art with the nature was on of his strategy of works .

i learned from his works how to share knowledges and work together. In my perspective it´s really important to engaged the community to share knowledge and utilizing it for designing the common spaces they share.

'''Reflection:'''

His work strategy impressed me tremendously. It was fascinating to learn how he brought together people from all backgrounds and assured their participation in the conceptualization, planning, and construction of a project. His strategies to focus on job training programmes and the tool "Networking" astounded me. His efforts taught me how to share information and collaborate. In my opinion, it is vital to involve the community in the exchange of information and its application in the creation of cooperative environments.

[[File:1200x0.jpg|thumb|Karl Linn, An American Landscape Architect]]

== Activist: '''Karl Linn(1923-2005)''', United States ==
Karl Linn is an American Landscape Architect, Psychologist, Educator, and Community Activist. Best known for inspiring and guiding the creation of "Neighborhood Commons" on vacant lots in East Coast inner cities during the 1960s-1980s.

He employed a strategy called “Urban Barn raising" .Linn is considered as 'Father of American Participatory Architecture' by many academic colleagues and architectural and environmental experts of the National Endowment for the Arts. Linn believed in “Participatory Architecture”. He engaged neighborhood residents, volunteer professionals, students, youth teams, social activists, and community gardeners in envisioning, designing, and constructing instant, temporary, and permanent gathering spaces in neighborhoods, on college campuses, at sites of major conferences and events.

'''Link to the full presentation with the overview of Linn´s life, works, philosophy of works, challenges he faced and the role playing of how he would address the challenge of chosen manifesto is given below:'''

'''Reflection:'''

I was so inspired by his philosophy of works. It was so amazing to learn how he gathered people from different cultures, background and ensured their participations in envisioning, designing and constructing of a project. How he produced positive self identifications within community members and design students was quite interesting. His tactics to focus on work training programs and the establishment of "Process Institutions" made me so amazed. Focusing on local assets like using local materials, blending Art with the nature was on of his strategy of works .

i learned from his works how to share knowledges and work together. In my perspective it´s really important to engaged the community to share knowledge and utilizing it for designing the common spaces they share.

'''Reflection:'''

His work strategy impressed me tremendously. It was fascinating to learn how he brought together people from all backgrounds and assured their participation in the conceptualization, planning, and construction of a project. His strategies to focus on job training programmes and the tool "Networking" astounded me. His efforts taught me how to share information and collaborate. In my opinion, it is vital to involve the community in the exchange of information and its application in the creation of cooperative environments.

== Activist: '''Karl Linn(1923-2005)''', United States ==
Karl Linn is an American Landscape Architect, Psychologist, Educator, and Community Activist. Best known for inspiring and guiding the creation of "Neighborhood Commons" on vacant lots in East Coast inner cities during the 1960s-1980s.

He employed a strategy called “Urban Barn raising" .Linn is considered as 'Father of American Participatory Architecture' by many academic colleagues and architectural and environmental experts of the National Endowment for the Arts. Linn believed in “Participatory Architecture”. He engaged neighborhood residents, volunteer professionals, students, youth teams, social activists, and community gardeners in envisioning, designing, and constructing instant, temporary, and permanent gathering spaces in neighborhoods, on college campuses, at sites of major conferences and events.

'''Link to the full presentation with the overview of Linn´s life, works, philosophy of works, challenges he faced and the role playing of how he would address the challenge of chosen manifesto is given below:'''

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AXZ4cGHqLQUdTCVrcecbn7MaXD4kf-0i/view?usp=sharing

'''Reflection:'''

I was so inspired by his philosophy of works. It was so amazing to learn how he gathered people from different cultures, background and ensured their participations in envisioning, designing and constructing of a project. How he produced positive self identifications within community members and design students was quite interesting. His tactics to focus on work training programs and the establishment of "Process Institutions" made me so amazed. Focusing on local assets like using local materials, blending Art with the nature was on of his strategy of works .

i learned from his works how to share knowledges and work together. In my perspective it´s really important to engaged the community to share knowledge and utilizing it for designing the common spaces they share.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QmI9-QOSQnlbZgNOZMHTk5wkTgzndEsA/view?usp=share_link

'''Reflection:'''

His work strategy impressed me tremendously. It was fascinating to learn how he brought together people from all backgrounds and assured their participation in the conceptualization, planning, and construction of a project. His strategies to focus on job training programmes and the tool "Networking" astounded me. His efforts taught me how to share information and collaborate. In my opinion, it is vital to involve the community in the exchange of information and its application in the creation of cooperative environments.

== Activist: '''Karl Linn(1923-2005)''', United States ==
Karl Linn is an American Landscape Architect, Psychologist, Educator, and Community Activist. Best known for inspiring and guiding the creation of "Neighborhood Commons" on vacant lots in East Coast inner cities during the 1960s-1980s.

He employed a strategy called “Urban Barn raising" .Linn is considered as 'Father of American Participatory Architecture' by many academic colleagues and architectural and environmental experts of the National Endowment for the Arts. Linn believed in “Participatory Architecture”. He engaged neighborhood residents, volunteer professionals, students, youth teams, social activists, and community gardeners in envisioning, designing, and constructing instant, temporary, and permanent gathering spaces in neighborhoods, on college campuses, at sites of major conferences and events.

'''Link to the full presentation with the overview of Linn´s life, works, philosophy of works, challenges he faced and the role playing of how he would address the challenge of chosen manifesto is given below:'''

'''Reflection:'''

I was so inspired by his philosophy of works. It was so amazing to learn how he gathered people from different cultures, background and ensured their participations in envisioning, designing and constructing of a project. How he produced positive self identifications within community members and design students was quite interesting. His tactics to focus on work training programs and the establishment of "Process Institutions" made me so amazed. Focusing on local assets like using local materials, blending Art with the nature was on of his strategy of works .

i learned from his works how to share knowledges and work together. In my perspective it´s really important to engaged the community to share knowledge and utilizing it for designing the common spaces they share.

'''Reflection:'''

His work strategy impressed me tremendously. It was fascinating to learn how he brought together people from all backgrounds and assured their participation in the conceptualization, planning, and construction of a project. His strategies to focus on job training programmes and the tool "Networking" astounded me. His efforts taught me how to share information and collaborate. In my opinion, it is vital to involve the community in the exchange of information and its application in the creation of cooperative environments.

'''Reflection:'''

I was so inspired by his philosophy of works. It was so amazing to learn how he gathered people from different cultures, background and ensured their participations in envisioning, designing and constructing of a project. How he produced positive self identifications within community members and design students was quite interesting. His tactics to focus on work training programs and the establishment of "Process Institutions" made me so amazed. Focusing on local assets like using local materials, blending Art with the nature was on of his strategy of works .

i learned from his works how to share knowledges and work together. In my perspective it´s really important to engaged the community to share knowledge and utilizing it for designing the common spaces they share.

'''Reflection:'''

His work strategy impressed me tremendously. It was fascinating to learn how he brought together people from all backgrounds and assured their participation in the conceptualization, planning, and construction of a project. His strategies to focus on job training programmes and the tool "Networking" astounded me.

His efforts taught me how to share information and collaborate. In my opinion, it is critical to engage the community in sharing knowledge and using it in the design of the common places they share.

'''Reflection:'''

I was so inspired by his philosophy of works. It was so amazing to learn how he gathered people from different cultures, background and ensured their participations in envisioning, designing and constructing of a project. How he produced positive self identifications within community members and design students was quite interesting. His tactics to focus on work training programs and the establishment of "Process Institutions" made me so amazed. Focusing on local assets like using local materials, blending Art with the nature was on of his strategy of works .

i learned from his works how to share knowledges and work together. In my perspective it´s really important to engaged the community to share knowledge and utilizing it for designing the common spaces they share.
