Background of your team

- Mohamed Kassim Alam: I obtained my bachelor's degree from Egypt in Architectural Engineering, I started with designing some commercial and residential buildings ,then I worked in the industrial architecture which I found interesting as you need to be able to have an ahead vision before the problem happens and have the flexibility to deal with any unexpected variants in the project .

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 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:
- Cmap Tools >>> you can also work with your group on the Cmap cloud doing a shared map
- VUE - The Visual Understanding Environment
Please add your concept map(s) here
- Possible format: JPG (for wiki upload) or link to any other resource
- You may add one map per team member or an integrated one
- add as many additional materials as you need
