Concepts and definitions
Alessandro Mintrone:
- The Presence of the Past
- History, culture and and socio-economic superstructures are a non-material presence that comes from the past but defines the present.
- The Sense of Space
- The space, non only in his form, but also in its perception, it's the start, the mean and the end of every action on landscape
- The Perspective
- Landscape is not only something that "is", but also something in becoming like a living being. So we have to design time, not just space.
Farzana Sharmin:
- Coauthoring design: work as a joint force of people & designers and split the works.
- Use of common sense and nature to solve the problems.
- Representative representation
Loredana Cîrdei:
- Consensus-taking decisions: People involved in a debate will have a general agreement based on objective discussions rather than voting. Source: Christopher with Rosie Parnell Consensus Design-Socially inclusive process.
- Landscape is a creation: The visitors' minds construct the landscape through their background, education and expectations by applying different criterias. Source: Burckhardt, Lucius (1979): Why is landscape beautiful? in: Fezer/Schmitz (Eds.) Rethinking Man-made Environments (2012).
- Charming landscape: Identifying a graceful landscape is directly linked to rediscovering and remembering of past youth, impressions from the parental home, from the read books or from pictures on the walls of the childhood room. Source: Burckhardt, Lucius (1979): Why is landscape beautiful? in: Fezer/Schmitz (Eds.) Rethinking Man-made Environments (2012).
Mohammad Al Najdawi :
- Landscape features act as massage carriers. Kucan, Ana (2007)
- Landscapes can be the carriers of collective identity and historical memory. Kucan, Ana (2007)
- The social conception of space is formed in the systems of communication between society as a producer and the individual as a consumer. Kucan, Ana (2007)
