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?
- Farzaneh Mirazi, Master student of "Architecture and Creative Practices for the City and Landscape" at University of Bologna
- Marion Mukolwe, Tutorial fellow, Department of Landscape Architecture, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology
- Arianna Ghinelli, a student in the single-cycle Master's degree program in Building Engineering and Architecture at the University of Bologna. I am from the Republic of San Marino, but I have lived in Bologna for 5 years. As a climate activist, I find it easy for citizens to collaborate closely with the government in my home country. I'd love to explore how emerging forms of social interaction can transform society and the landscape on a larger scale.

Readings, concepts and definitions
- Start: April 3, 2024
- Due: July 2, 2024
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 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
- Use a shared whiteboard to develop your integrated concept map, such as MIRO or 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
