Concepts and definitions

Author 1:Magdalena

1. Concepts o participation: Sacred Places - Prof. Hester (LA form US) aims to encourage the community/citizens, to participate into design process o their neighborhood. Sacred places are these areas and elements of the landscape to which the community has a strong conntection. These places can oten olny be identiied based on local knowlegde and experience. In design process, according to Hester, locals are asked to describe and map the "sacred structure" of their town. As an example, the "sacred structure" inspired the final plan to revitalize Manteo, small villige in North Carolina, US.

2. Design: Design participation according to Hester's Twelve Steps - community development framework consisting 12 points of design process, a.o. Listening, Setting goals, Acrivity Mapping, Introducing the Community to Itself, Confirming goals, Evaluation after Construction. As an example, this process was implemented in Westport, California, where a dialogue between designers and residents revealed a final design. As a result of this process, the residents of Westport received a community development project, which emphasized their needs for affordable housing.

3. Community and Identity: Cinematic Landscapes - using a real landscape in a film narration in order to expose the racial, gender, and economic power dynamics that led to the emergence of the actual crisis landscape. Example: Film "Beasts of the Southern Wild".

Author 2:...Mariana


1. The European Landscape Convention

Landscape policy : expression by the competent public authorities of general principles, strategies and guidelines that permit the taking of specific measures aimed at the protection, management and planning of landscapes

Landscape quality objective: formulation by the competent public authorities of the aspirations of the public with regard to the landscape features of their surroundings

Landscape protection : actions to conserve and maintain the significant or characteristic features of a landscape, justified by its heritage value derived from its natural configuration and/or from human activity

Landscape management: action to ensure the regular upkeep of a landscape, so as to guide and harmonise changes which are brought about by social, economic and environmental processes

Landscape planning : strong forward-looking action to enhance, restore or create landscapes.

2. Burckhardt, Lucius (1979): Why is landscape beautiful? in: Fezer/Schmitz (Eds.)

Landscape in Scenario 1: is a construct of different layers (visual, technological, natural, infrastructure) in a temporal dimension.

Landscape in Scenario 2: is an idealized image of phenomena resulting in a charming place.

Ruins in the Landscape: Symbol of past history, in landscape terms, erosion.

Beautiful Landscape: Construct comprised of conventional visual structures.

3. Pritzker Prize winning architect Alejandro Aravena on sustainable design and community involvement in Chile

3S : Phenomen divided in 3 main problems regarding Scale, Speed and Scarcity applied when people moving to cities.

The Design Purpose to understand and answer the 3S: To channel peoples own building capacity.

With the right design, susteinability is nothing but the regurous use of common sense

Participatory design : The attempt to find with precision what is the right question, and provide alternatives that are validated politically and socially. There is nothing worst than answering well the wrong question.

Design power of synthesis : To make a more efficent use of this cost-resources in cities, which is not money but cordination. Attempt to put in the most inner core of architecture the force of life

  • Culture and Changing Landscape Structure: This paper is focused on four different 'cultural principles for landscape ecology'. First comes human landscape perception, cognition, and values that directly affect the landscape. Secondly, cultural conventions which powerfully influence landscape pattern in both inhabited and apparently natural landscapes. Then, cultural concepts of nature which are different from scientific concepts of ecological function and finally the appearance of landscapes which is responsible for communicating cultural values.

  • "The Square of the 3 Cultures" is a space in Mexico City with an important cultural, historical, political and architectural value. The name "3 Cultures" is in recognition of the 3 periods of Mexican history reflected by buildings in the plaza: aztec ruins (ca.1400), Spanish colonial(1600), and a massive housing complex (1964). In addition to this...the open space and surroundings of this square are a memorial to the students and civilians killed in this square by military and police in the so called "Tlatelolco Massacre"(1968) after their demonstration against the oppressive government.

  • Streetscape: This image was shot in the eastern part of Budapest close to the Northern train station. It is all about our outdoor attitude how anthropomorphism transformed the urban landscape in a more comfortable way that takes into account human need in cities.

  • This is a monument of John Paul II (Poland, city of Olsztyn). From the historical and socio-political point of view, he played a great role in Poland. Above many other issues, he supported the transformation of Poland to become a democratic country. The regard and affection in which the people of Poland held and continue to hold John Paul II is extraordinary (in 1979 during his first visit as a pope, 13 million of Poles saw him in person). Before he died in 2005, there were 230 statues of him in Poland and after his dead this amount lifted to ca. 550 (there are about 200 monuments in other parts of the world overall). Monuments are well recognized and understandable, located in central parts of parks, squars, public areas. Are used by the public mainly as gather points to worship and memorialize. Picture taken in 1995, Olsztyn, Poland.

  • Today nearly 12 million people in Poland live in prefabricated buildings. This panel system entered the our market in the late 80’s and had a major influence on the landscape in every town. There are thousands of settelments which were built with this technology and embrace 3 generations of residents. It is a part of our history, symbol of economic and menthal change of our society. The strucure of settelments is usually the same, including green infrustruction and leisure parts, like if the planners used "copy-paste" tool. Photo taken in Szczecin, 2005, Pomorzany Estate.

  • "Shakhari Bazaar" shares a long history more than 400 years with Dhaka city itself. It is one of the oldest localities of Dhaka city, located near the inter-section of Islampur road and Nawabpur Road - the two main arteries of the old city. For centuries Dhaka has been famous for its traditional arts and crafts. The name implies that the area began as a settlement of "Shakharis" or a community of craftsmen specialized in making conch shell ornaments.The buildings of Shakhari Bazaar trace the history and evolution of building crafts, construction and materials of Dhaka for the past few hundread years. Lack of maintenance and repair has resulted in a worn out appearance. Shakhari Bazaar lined with thin slices of richly decorated brick buildings, built during the late Mughal or Colonial period.

  • “Dhanmondi Lake” is a lake located in the Dhanmondi residential area in the center of the Dhaka city. The lake was originally a dead channel of the Karwan Bazar River, and was connected to the Turag River. In 1956, Dhanmondi was developed as a residential area. In the development plan, about 16% of the total area of Dhanmondi was designated for the lake. Dhanmondi Lake development was an attempt to embody an urban oasis to provide relief in the concrete cityscape. The concept was to invite people to protect the lake from encroachment creating a buffer zone in between the allotted residential plots and the lake. Now, Dhanmondi Lake has become a well visited tourist spot, with cultural hubs such as the Rabindra-Sarobar located along its side.
