Assignment 2 - Your Landscape Symbols
- You can read more details about this assignment here
Landscape Symbols Sobhan Saadat
The topography of the zone is very especial, where both lower level of stream and high level of the mountains run alongside eachother. The mountain provides an urban opportunity of hiking for the citizens. However, it is noteworthy that the city in general is a large plain between some of the lower chain of well-known Zagros mauntain stretching from north-west of country to the south-west.
Chamran linear park is one of the most important spots in the city Shiraz and in my opinion is the most noticeable landscape symbol in the city. Not only in terms of size but also in terms of variety of nature and non-natural elements it encompasses. A very unique combination of stream with gardens and trees on one side and the mountain and buildings along the linear park on the other side.
It makes the place one of the zones to breathe fresh air and picnic at the weekends. Also provides many activates within its range that hardly ever dim around the clock, especially when the weather is warm. In addition, the road with the same name carries good number of vehicles from the city center to the northern part of the city which has become growingly more popular to inhabit. Although the last trait might be considered as a disadvantage, it is inevitable that is a factor in the dynamic quality of the zone.
However, recently due to the new phase of constructions and also little amount of precipitations quality of this valuable urban area has diminished. There are many zones in Shiraz that are disadvantaged from the same trend and unfortunately the authorities are doing the least to encounter the damages to the landscape of the city which ironically is very fragile and vulnerable.
Landscape Symbols Edvin Memić
Place name: Alley of ambassadors in Sarajevo. The trees are planted on both sides of the street, the street is used exclusively as a pedestrian zone. This is a friendly relationship between the countries, Bosnia and Herzegovina and state accredited ambassador. Wood represents life, something that is growing. It is a symbol connecting, walking, memories.
Old Bridge in Mostar over the Neretva River is a UNESCO World hertage and when is built, it was the largest arch structure in the world. Sulejman the Magnificent ordered to build in 1566, and the architect was Mimar Hajrudin. Connects two parts of the city, and symbolizes connection, historical, architecture, culturally.
Wellspring Bosnia is a source in central Bosnia and Herzegovina. The source of the river Bosna, and one of most famous landmarks of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bosnia Wellspring located on the ouskirts of Sarajevo. One of the most famous parts of the natural beauty of the region. It is famous tourist attraction and it’s a symbol historical, culturally, recreation, greenery.
