Concepts and definitions

Author 1: Andrea

  • Cinematic landscape (Alexa Weik von Mossner, cinematic landscapes, topos 2014, 88)

In film, landscapes can act as symbols to underline a point, make you think of a place or event, or be used to enhance a feeling or mood through its role as "setting" or "backdrop" for the narrative, and it that way also becomes a part of it.

  • Placemaking (Places in the making, MIT,2013)

The practice concerns the deliberate shaping of an environment to facilitate social interaction and improve a community’s quality of life. Stresses the importance of the process of "making" to empower communities.

  • Political style - as a designer (Randy Hester, whose politics, 2005)

There are different types of designers, the blissfully naïve, the savvy naïve, servants, contextualists & catalysts. As a designer you have a political style wether you belong to the blissfully naive, who design with no concern or understanding of larger impacts and connections, or if you belong to the catalysts, who purposely act and design in order to address bigger issues and prompt change.
