Concepts and definitions

Author 1: Julia

  • Concept 1: Community Power Structure Research: People can participate in the formation of opinion through gaining access to about important topics like tax rates, property actions,... (Gaventa, John (1980): The Powerful, the Powerless, and the Experts: Knowledge Struggles in an Information Age)


  • Concept 2: Right-to-Know Movements: Citizens launche campaigns and protest groups underlining the right to know the content of important topics and decisions. (Gaventa, John (1980): The Powerful, the Powerless, and the Experts: Knowledge Struggles in an Information Age)



Author 2: Phan

  • Concept 1: Human perception and culture changes landscapes and vice versa. The landscape can reflect the character and culture of a community living there. "People do not stand apart from the landscape, but rather are participants in the landscape in a situation of mutual influence". (Nassauer, Joan Iverson (1995): Culture and Changing Landscape Structure).
  • Concept 2: Cultural concepts of nature are different from scientific concept of ecological function. Improving the natural landscape while respecting the indigenous ecosystem is necessery. "What looks like beautiful nature may be a polluted former landfill, and what looks like a neglected abandoned lot may be a rich ecosystem". (Nassauer, Joan Iverson (1995): Culture and Changing Landscape Structure).
  • Concept 3: In a movie, the director tell a story through beautiful secne. Similarly, the landscape may contain meanings and stories about the communities around it. (Welk Von Mossner, Alexa (2014): Cinematic Landscapes)

Author 3: Sander

  • Concept 1
    • When planning on making a design for a community, listen to the residents. Find out what they want and what would improve their community life. Recourse used: Kot, Douglas and Ruggeri, Deni: Westport Case Study.
  • Concept 2
    • Designs should be made in order to strengthen the character of the town or community where you are designing for. It should fit in the landscape, architectural character and lifestyle of the residents in the town. Recourse used: Kot, Douglas and Ruggeri, Deni: Westport Case Study.
  • Concept 3
    • Keep an eye on the environment of the designing area. In order to deliver the best design, you have to find the symbolic behind the place and the residents relationship with it. On this way you can create an uniformity between the existing landscape and your design idea. Recourse used: Kucan, Ana (2007). Constructing Landscape Conceptions. In: ECLAS (ed.). JoLA spring 2007, 30-41. Munich: Callwey.

Author 4: Maythé

  • Concept 1:This desgined cities should be formed by applied ecology, hand-on participation, act as communities by sharing information, experiences. building an environment that reflects our values. "Design for ecological democracy"-Hester, Randolph.
  • Concept 2: Act as communities, Be ecologically resilient, cities that touch our heart by impelling form. "Design for ecological democracy"-Hester, Randolph.
  • Concept 3:By reading the landscape we need to analyse the character, characteristics, elements, features and characterisations and from them making a 6 step process that carried out at a range of scales: Defining the scope, desk study, field survey, classification and description, deciding the approach to judgements, making judgements.

Author 5: Maurizio

  • Concept 1 - Development of the citizens’ culture, social capital and collective intelligence - [Sanoff, Henry (2014): Multiple Views of Participatory Design]
    • It is through the various forms of participatory democracy that: 1) people can play an active role in designing landscapes that live on a daily basis (people not as ordinary end users); 2) citizens express their opinions about the issues directly affecting them; 3) people can actually influence with their ideas the decision-making process on problem solving. There is a real risk that the same forms of participatory democracy lead to perpetual conflicts, lack of confidence in the political model and unnecessary / expensive delays. In order to ward off the abovementioned chaos, it is essential that people are able to share their experiences in an orderly manner, with the purpose of solving problems. It is imperative that within the population is generated what Atlee calls "Collective Intelligence". The greater the number of people will be involved, the greater the number of individual experiences will be available and the consequence will be a more powerful and shared result. For a concrete and effective participation, it is important that people: 1) be sufficiently informed about the problems to be resolved; 2) be adequately informed about the context and constraints to which they operate; 3) acquire participatory skills; 4) gain more sensitivity to the problems of others; 5) become more tolerant of different points of view and change; 6) develop forms of community pride; 7) increase, through participation, their knowledge, mutual awareness and respect; 8) acquire the ability to make more reflective judgments; 9) develop a higher sensitivity / civic education.
  • Concept 2 - Role of local administrations and professionals - Design and management of participation - [Sanoff, Henry (2014): Multiple Views of Participatory Design]
    • Citizens' participation does not exclude the role of municipal authorities and professionals. Dialogue between citizens, professionals and municipal authorities on needs and resources is indispensable; through the comparison, each one brings its own specific competencies (local knowledge, professional knowledge and administrative knowledge). Before defining the specific objectives to pursue through the different models of collective participation, it is essential to set up a strategic plan based on the people’s ideas. Local administrations need to design together with citizens a good strategic planning based on information gathering, exploration of alternatives, and the study of implications in the future. A valid strategic planning, as well as accommodating divergent interests and values, must be flexible and sufficiently specific to ensure proper monitoring of the results. Based on the aforementioned strategic plan it is possible to define the specific objectives to pursue through the participatory events. It is task of designers to decide how to promote deliberative processes, especially in a conflictual / contradictory context (e.g., Citizen Deliberative Councils "appropriately selected heterogeneously" Vs Participatory meetings open to all). Participation is a particularly complicated concept that requires proper planning of participatory events and participation programs (Whom to involve? What to do? Where to go through participation? How to involve? When to engage?) in order not only to optimize the process but also above all to satisfy the people involved without disillusioning them. Designers have to identify among the different methods of participation (Community surveys, advisory boards, task forces, neighbourhood meetings, public hearings) what best suits goals (choosing the best strategy to ensure that people are able to make concrete decisions and ensure the highest level of participation). Depending on the objectives, it is task of the designers to identify the best participatory event model through which: 1) Promote participation, social integration and sense of belonging; 2) Develop the sense of community and attachment to the context; 3) Facilitate the involvement of people without design expertise; 4) Enhance the interpersonal relationships essential to achieving common goals.
  • Concept 3 - "Voting" is a partial form of democracy - [Sanoff, Henry (2014): Multiple Views of Participatory Design]
    • "Voting" is a partial form of democracy. There are various ways in which to interpret the concept of consensus, from the old one of "consensus gentium" to the political one in which a majority supports a particular proposal. In any case, consensus should be reach in a concerted, stress-free manner, with dialogue and exploring different opinions. The deliberative democracy is based on the conscience of differences, the need for compromise and the growing sense of belonging. The legitimacy of a decision does not depend on its content but on the confidence in the process by which it was taken (fair, open, democratic) and the ability of citizens to play a role in defining it. In participatory processes, the satisfaction of citizens/users does not depend much on the degree to which their needs are met but rather in the feeling that they have contributed to the decision-making process.
  • Concept 1 - Something about Charrette - [Smith, Nicola Dawn(2012): Design Charrette: A Vehicle for Consultation or Collaboration]
    • Depending on the needs, the "Charrette" technique can be expressed in infinite ways. There are no two equal Charrettes but in all of them it is possible to recognize a common structure consisting of the following three phases: 1. Gathering information; 2. Design event; 3. Implementation. The time to use for a successful "Charrette" is at least 4 days. It is a consultation and involvement tool mainly used in the private sector of urban planning and architecture but could be used in many other areas. Among the design tools that employ drawings, mental maps, and site related graphics, the "Charrette Design" is the only one that improves the knowledge of stakeholders before converging information. The "Charrette" have the prerogative of expanding education and research. Charrette promotes internal creativity and decision-making convergence in order to generate shared outcomes and to smooth out discord.
  • Concept 2 - The importance of drawing - [Smith, Nicola Dawn(2012): Design Charrette: A Vehicle for Consultation or Collaboration]
    • To actively participate in a "Charrette" human qualities are fundamental rather than acquired skills, anyway in a "Charrette" is privileged the experience of those who know how to draw quickly at the last minute and manage to communicate through sketches. Drawing does not only help design, but is primarily a method of communication between the participants. Drawings generate more direct and more accessible knowledge. “Conversing with drawings is a rare skill”. The highest moment in a Charrette is when a designer reaches consensual approval through a sketch. The drawings made during a Charrette are real contracts drawn through pictures.
  • Concept 3 - The importance of time - [Smith, Nicola Dawn(2012): Design Charrette: A Vehicle for Consultation or Collaboration]
    • The time compression that characterizes Charrette makes the process more efficient and facilitates problem solving in a creative way because: 1)Restricts consultation between stakeholders and excludes the possibility of sterile negotiations; 2)Encourages people to "think outside the box"; 3)Maintains the survey material and the key points of the decision-making process.
  • Concept 1 - A system for integrating the different parts of the city - [Storytelling example from the Scottish Islands]
    • Changes in an ancient city like Stromness have increased the contrast between the historical social core and the peripheral economic and residential area. The purpose is should be to create a single integrated functional unit that respects the character of the different parts of Stromness.
  • Concept 2 - Necessity of flexibility - [Storytelling example from the Scottish Islands]
    • There is a need to re-learn how to build places in relation to the external environment, developing flexibility and ability to cope with changes.
  • Concept 3 - Sense of belonging - [Storytelling example from the Scottish Islands]
    • The force for change should come from the local community rather than being imposed by the public sector. Initiatives born out of the citizens may be more effective for the city and to create in the local community a sense of ownership.

  • The unfinished Basilica of San Petronio is the sixth largest church in Europe (it is the largest brick Gothic church). The Episcopal Church of Bologna is not San Petronio but the near Saint Peter's Cathedral. The construction started in 1390 under the supervision of the architect Antonio di Vincenzo. In 1514 there was a new project by Aruino degli Arriguzzi. The Basilica had to become bigger than St. Peter's in Rome, but Pope Pio IX requested to build "Archiginnasio" (the university library) 12 meters far from the church and its construction had to stop. The building was built for civic will, not ecclesiastical. It was an act of religious faith but above all political. It is a monument that represents municipal ideals of freedom and authonomy.

  • The hills of Bologna, the green belt of the city, are surely one of the most significant symbol. They ensured the livelihood of Bologna since ancient times; noble families used to pass their holiday in villas on the hills and little towns were born through the ages. Right next to the "Gothic line", the hills had been of help to partisans and allied to take refuge, in fact, the land is littered with memorial monuments. Nowadays besides the production of wine and other food excellences, the hills are one of the main places of leisure for all the citizens. Localization: 44°18'10.0"N 11°12'49.6"E

  • The railway station of Bologna is one of the most important italian railways in number of passengers and above all for passing trains. It is the principal railway linking node between north and south. The first project, dating from the middle of the XIX century, turned out to be unsuitable for the excessive trains congestion. The present railway was designed by Gaetano Ratti and opened in the 1871. Continuous improvements and expansion have been necessary and the process is still ongoing. The railway represent a symbol for the city not only for its practical aim but overall for the most serious act of terror that occurred in Italy in the second post-war period, on the 2nd of august 1980 at 10:25 am. This is considered one of the last act of the strategy of terror (Years of Lead). Localization: 44°30'20.7"N 11°20'36.1"E

  • The “Mercato delle erbe”, literally “Market of herbs”, is the largest covered market in the historical center of Bologna, since 1910. It was built to offer shelter to the merchants that could no longer stay in Piazza Maggiore (the most renowned square in the city). Since 2014, in addition to the presence of merchants that sell typical products or food, after renovation of some spaces in the market, there are inside the building also restaurants, bars, pizza restaurants and sandwich shops. In the “Mercato delle erbe” you can touch the historical gastronomical culture of Bologna. I’ve chosen this place mainly to highlight how similar reality nowadays must increasingly deal with supermarket and commercial center perhaps more comfortable but less related to the context and the history of the site.

  • Via Zamboni connecting the two towers to medieval city gate named San Donato passes through the university area. Like most of the streets of the old town it is full of historical buildings of the Middle Ages, commemorative plaques and monuments that recall the past of the city. However, what distinguishes this way is the presence of many of the seats of the faculties of Alma Mater Studiorum (Founded in A.D. 1088, it is the oldest university in Europe). The constant presence of the students makes via Zamboni particularly lively all day long. In my opinion, thanks to the presence of more than 87,000 young students of the Alma Mater Studiorum, the Bolognese citizens have unknowingly the ability to keep open their minds.
