Author 3: Gaia Uguccioni

• Landscape and Democracy

Every landscape hides a meaning that is not explicit in the ordinary forms. Is a concept that lies utterly beyond science, that holds ideas, impressions and ineffable complexities that depends on how we are affected by it and from the values we associate to it.

• Concepts of Participation

Partecipatory processes are a form of access to a paradigm which the people had a little part in creating. Starts with the reappropriation of knowledge by those who are affected by it and evolves as a strategy in which the powerless develop, create, gain control and systematize their own science.

• Designing

In the modern broad cities is evident the disassociation from community and environment and the human behavior appear antagonistic to sustainability. Holistic insight should be pursuit to guide the design of urban forms and to find new directions for a reformulation of intents and ideals of fulfillment.

  “Szabihíd” project, Liberty Bridge urban picnic “Szabihíd” project started in 2017 when the Libert Bridge was closed due to constartion work.

  Buda Castle, Hungarian National Gallery, Széchenyi National Library During the historical times the castle was the place for the king, but these days it is open for the public. People not only can see the castle but the Hungarian National Gallery and also a Széchenyi National Library take place there. It symbolize a democratyc change which maybe not obvios if you doesn’t have some knowledge about the place. 47.502262, 19.032800

• 

  Vegetable stands In the countryside small vegetable stands offer opportunity to buy fresh crop right form the a infield. Sometimes the owner is selling to you, sometimes only a box is there to collect the cost. I think it is also a symbol of trust and trust is something essentail for democracy. This system would not work without respect and understantment of the value of work. 47.557538, 10.749554

Landscape Symbols Author 2: Gaia Uguccioni

• 

  Bologna città [W]etropolitana_Not a subway access, but a sign of artistic performances that took place in those spaces and that has become part of a stratified landscape. A modern monument that represents the aesthetics of the provisional, infiltrates our landscape in a work of continuous adaptation, with a tangible subliminal act plausible enough to become familiar and mimically incorporated.

• 

  al Żigànt_The Fountain of Neptune, also known as "the Giant", is a renaissance opera that stands into Piazza Maggiore, the most important square in Bologna. It was designed to glorify the papal government (as Neptune dominates the waters, so the Pope dominates the world). It is currently one of the most famous and recognized symbols of the city.

• 

  La Grassa_ Capital of a region of great culinary passions, Bologna is associated with the imaginary perception of the city as a paradise for food delicacies. Traditional local specialty shops are the perfect example of Bolognese hedonism.

  Roof garden of Exhibition hall Stuttgart.The place which people can take rest from chaos of Exhibition hall, to get together, talk and know each other. most of the time people contact each other after a short conversation. I would like to name this place ‘’the place of socializing and business’’. 48.693282, 9.186010

• 

  Main Square of Stuttgart. The spring, the time to go out and feel like birds, to chat, to make conversation, to look at the nature which is trying to be alive again, to feel it, to do the same ‘’being Alive Again’’. Happiness, green and free spaces. 48.778679, 9.180055

SYMBOL OF HOPE.

This photograph clicked by me in Bangladesh. As we know that Bangladesh is a riverine country and it is very common to get new land (river sand bed / Char) in the river. Sometimes some of these new lands last for long and sometimes some of those vanish in a short time. As a agricultural country (Bangladesh) most of the country men are farmers and when they see that there are little bit green (like the photograph) on the river sand bed / char, then they get hope to get new agricultural land. These green are the symbol of hope for these farmers. Geo-location 20'34N to 26'38N latitude, 88'01E to 92'41E longitude
