Concepts and definitions

Author 1: S.Amir H.Shahrestani

  • Landscape and Democracy - Why is landscape beautiful? - Burckhardt, Lucius (1979)

The outcome of the people view of the same landscape is doubtless highly individual and every person has different aspect and criteria of it. The opinion of beautiful or ugly landscape comes from the people previous idea (childhood stories), therefore the people have different judgments.

  • Concepts of Participation - Consensus Design - Day, Christopher (2002)

Better way to make ethical decisions is defined as a democratic way and consensual approach. In the democracy the majority's demands are influential and the minority’s requests are disregarded. Getting a more comprehensive solution (equitable, productive, conscious, participator) compromising is defined as a step to reach collective decisions and consensus.

  • Community and Identity - Cinematic Landscapes - Welk Von Mossner, Alexa (2014)

Image of the landscape allows us to establish a relationship with the place through the sense of belonging. It performs an effective role in the transmission of the story by reflecting the identity of the space.

Author 2: Ildikó Júlia Kozma

  • Landscape and Democracy

The role of the public in urbanism should be stronger. If we want more democratic cities, city dwellers must have more knowledge about the built environment which surround them. Without that they can’t live with their democratic rights.

  • Designing

Ecology and democracy is to separate thing, but together they can give a better solution to many problems of urbanism. With well defined principles we can use ecological methods during designing.

  • Communicating a Vision

In participatory design communicating your vision is a key element. Presentations hold by professionals, coauthoring design and all different kind of verbal and nonverbal communication method are needed to understand each other.

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.

Author 4: Nahian Zobaid

  • Concepts of Participation

A participatory approach in any development involves the community in Design process and give them the right to express their thought, vision and need. This concept can empower the unprivileged group of society if sensibly chosen in the design process.

  • Community and Identity

Community identity is shaped by the custom, social and geographical environment of a particular place. Vernacular landscape are good example of community identity, as it represents the adaptation and thought process of local farm workers, land developers, home owners and other local professionals.

  • Designing

Designing is the combination of multiple problems that leads to a simple yet innovative solution. The Designer needs to translate the force of people, common sense and nature into form to built a socially and climatically responsive design.
