Landscape Symbols Author 1: HO SIN YEE

  • The Hong Kong Central Government Offices are designed as an 'open door' to depict an open and receptive administration. Together with an open space going all the way through the "door" symbolize the government's connection to people

  • A "pocket park" created by the government in one of the oldest district in Hong Kong. It is created for the "well-being" of people in such district where open space is extremely scarce, while the effectiveness is to be evaluated.

  • The Entrance of Hong Kong HSBC Main Building was designed as a open lobby to demonstrate imposing manner is flocked with foreign domestic helpers every weekend. It's somehow a cry-out for lack of proper (indoor) public space

  • Elements have been used as an encouragement for outdoor living, while culturing the transfer of knowledge of identity and history for everyone. The middle water feature with human figure sculptures represents the "behavior of money". This strong idea used as a public interactive supportive element, symbolize the idea of outdoor living and of this particular community while showing how all the people become a part of, the art of city. (Aachen, Germany)

  • Layers of mobility-scape as a representation of possibility of the existence of multiplicity and diversity of user range. And these parallel layered mobility infrastructure symbolize how the authority of the power of landscape has been distributed among all the type of potential users. (Donnersbergerbrücke,Munich)

  • You can see here a reerected old windmill-powered plant. 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.

  • Sauerlandpark Hemer: New wooden tower, open accessible, built as a light-weight-construction (like a Russian prototype system of the 1920s). 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.

  • 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? :-)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
