Niels De Couvreur:
=> Communicating a Vision
- Dissecting the landscape to individual layers and combining these; makes it possible to define the landscape characteristics.
- The landscape is a very complex matter to understand and making a basic classification makes it understandable.
- The human influence on the landscape is the last in the hierarchy of the landscape.
- We as human beings are the last part of a much bigger story, however we see our position at the top. We need to find our correct place when we are at a decision-making position toward the landscape.
- Landscape sketches as a basic tool
- The landscape is one of the most complex matters and has connections to various parts of the society. To make this complex matter understandable for all parts of society is crucial to make it accessible for everybody.

Landscape Democracy Niels De Couvreur
- Ribbondevelopment
-
caption: Ribbon development caused by people and government, create problems for both parties. By working on this matter in Belgium and in The Netherland, I realize that this is a big issue.
-
caption: The waterdrainage provided by the government is calculated on the water discharge of the street with extra buffer runoff of private property. However people getting more lazy and don't like spending time gardening. So they put big surfaces of pavement in their garden. Result: increase of water runoff to the drainage system.
-
caption: The drainage system can't handle the increased water pressure with flooding as a result.
-
caption: people vs. Government: People complain about the flooding, so the government is investing in new and better drainage systems. The ribbon development makes this really expensive, with the result that people have to pay more taxes. Result People complain more...

Your references:
Landscape Democracy Challenge - Angelo.l
- MODERNIZING THE LANDSCAPE, TO MEET THE MAN
-
caption: This is the plan of Enna: the city is formed by Enna alta (historic city) and Enna bassa, but there aren't good connections that join them (especially pedestrian)
-
1) caption: Bad road management has led to connections that are no longer usable due to their collapse
-
2) caption: Bridge built at the time of the Roman Empire, collapsed 5 years ago and still in those conditions
-
My challenge is the reorganization of the road and the repair of collapsed roads or in bad conditions. The actors of this renewal are young architects in collaboration with representatives specializing in different sectors. An active design for the creation of paths, to decrease the density of some areas favoring public spaces.
Assignment 5 - Your Democratic Change Process
- You can read more details about this assignment here
- After documenting and reflecting on your challenges you will continue jointly with one of these challenges and design a democratic change process
Your Democratic Change Process
- Add the title of your project
-
a power map identifying who is affected by the challenge and who is influencing it
-
Look at the various methods and tools available and think how they can be applied creatively. Think about the needs of different stakeholder groups - you may need a methodical mix to address them all. Illustrate graphically how these methods/tools might be applied in a short, medium and long-term perspective.
-
a scenario illustrating how these tools can be applied within a short, medium and long term perspective involving the groups you want to address, this should include a process timeline
