Steps 3 and 4: Concepts Selection and definition

  • Each group member selects three relevant concepts derived from his/her readings and synthesize them/publish them on the wiki by April 30, 2017
  • Group members reflect within their groups and define their chosen concepts into a shared definition to be posted on the wiki by May 10, 2017.
  • Other group members will be able to comment on the definitions until May 20, 2017

Concepts and definitions

Author 1:

  • Concept 1
    • add you definition here with 2-3 concise sentences. Do not copy paste text from others, use your own words. Make reference to resources used.
  • Concept 2
    • .....
  • Concept 3
    • ....

Author 2: Edvin Memić

  • Concept 1
    • If several people have different opinions about something, does that mean that they need to seek a compromise, although the compromis is kind of giving up from own opinions. But if it will lead to a better situation in general, this is not a bad solution. (Day, Christopher (2002): Consensus Design, Architectural Press)
  • Concept 2
    • Voting is not good because of the fact that majority opinion is used, while minority opinion is rejected, although sometimes it may be better. (Day, Christopher (2002): Consensus Design, Architectural Press)
  • Concept 3
    • Consensus is best for making decisions. When a consensus is reached, the decision is made step by step, the opinion of individuals is reconsidered, and the best solution for the group is accepted. Although it takes more time. (Day, Christopher (2002): Consensus Design, Architectural Press)

Author 3: Mira Hennerkes

  • Hester, Randolph (1995): Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Sustainable Happiness
    • "Short-term freedom but long-term consequences"


Author 4: Melanie Schnürer

  • Essential features (Welk Von Mossner, Alexa (2014): Cinematic Landscapes, In: Topos, No. 88, 2014.)
    • Essential features of a narrative film are, besides the natural and built environment, also the authenticity of the landscape, which plays an active role in a fiction film. "Beasts of the Southern Wild" (a film by Benh Zeitlin) is a good example for such a cinematic narrative.
  • The space (Welk Von Mossner, Alexa (2014): Cinematic Landscapes, In: Topos, No. 88, 2014.)
    • The space, which represents the cinematic environment, is the space in which the action takes place; in the film language this is called "setting". This room has to be carefully constructed, and for the cinematic environment all kinds of tricks are used.
  • Realization of a visually spectacular backdrop (Welk Von Mossner, Alexa (2014): Cinematic Landscapes, In: Topos, No. 88, 2014.)
    • In the past, a landscape was created on a soundstage of a film studio for the realization of a visually spectacular backdrop for a narrative; today such scenes are replaced by computer animations. The actors shoot in front of a green screen.
  • City and urban design framework (Storytelling example from the Scottish Islands)
    • For cities, it is important to gain an overview by creating an urban design framework that can be used to coordinate the existing projects and then use this as the basis for future development documents and master plans for the individual sites.
  • Working with other studies and initiatives (Storytelling example from the Scottish Islands)
    • WMUDs, which had created the urban design framework, worked in parallel with other studies and initiatives (e.g. Townscape Heritage Initiative (THI), Pierhead Project) to submit a proposal to the city on how to improve the contrasts between the individual elements.
  • Future of the city (Storytelling example from the Scottish Islands)
    • In order to obtain a good result, for the future of the city, one must think about various questions, e.g. How does the city look like in a few years?; How can other districts be integrated? ... Such questions are answered either positively or negatively. Sometimes a compromise must be sought for some questions.

Step 5: Reflection

  • Please write, as a group, a 250 words reflection on your discourse and document it here

  • 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, 29°39'22.6"N 52°29'53.3"E.

  • 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, 29°37'59.6"N 52°29'29.5"E.

  • 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, 29°39'46.9"N 52°29'16.4"E.

  • 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, 29°39'10.5"N 52°30'03.5"E.

  • The city of Palmas is the last planned capital in the XX century and was designed to be the capital of Tocantins, the newest state of Brazil. Palmas was designed between two landmarks, one natural (Carmo's Sierra) and the other artificial (Lajeado's Lake). The city has lots of other landmarks, such as the Girassol's Square (2nd biggest square in the world) and the Aragauia Palace. The square is located in the meeting point of the two main axial avenues of Palmas.
