- Acquire mental map of the built environment, - learn how to navigate, - operate and act upon their environment.

- You can read more details about this assignment here
Landscape Symbols Author 1: Araceli Quempumil
This is the Opera house in Bjørvika, Oslo. It has become a landmark (as a symbol) and a main attraction for both habitants and tourists in Oslo. The outside of the Opera house symbolizes a new form of a public space, without threes and plants, but geometrical shapes and Italian marble, to illustrate a mountain coming up from the water. The mountains and the nature in Norway is known through: “Allemansretten”. It means that everyone has the right to roam and stay in the outlying areas.
Until the last years, this area was almost empty, consisting only an old and ruined pier from the 1900s. Now it has become one of the most "hip" and developed areas in Oslo, with top modern apartments and buildings. In the next years, it will probably become one of Oslos most popular areas. This picture symbolizes changes and development. Geo-location: Bjørvika-Sørenga, Oslo. LAMBDA (new Munch-museum) and apartment-buildings.
Landscape Symbols Author 2: IvanO
The history of the country is shaped when the red army took over power in 1920, ever since the face of the war devastated country has changed. Yerevan the capital of Armenia was built on Soviet Ideologies, but the paradigms were shifted after the fall of the USSR. Now Armenia is in the phase of trying to find its own identity.

Landscape Symbols Author 4: Elnaz Imani
Arg-e-Alishah was a big citadel in downtown, Tabriz which has been destroyed during the time due to earthquakes, wars, seizures and new constructions. Now only a part of the southern wall of this historical landscape has remained which is called as the Symbol of Tabriz. This remnant is the symbol of greatness, power, prosperity, patience, endurance, innocence, dignity and modesty. Because Tabriz has had many ups and downs throughout history, has experienced difficult times and many events and this building has been with Tabriz and the people of Tabriz during all these times and still shines in Tabriz.
Tarbiat Street is one of the old and famous streets in downtown, Tabriz. This pathway was a branch of the Silk Road and has a certain reputation. Tarbiat Street nowadays is a walkway which includes many shopping stores, new malls, accesses to a part of Tabriz old Bazar, Tabriz old neighborhoods and some historical houses. This walkway plays an important role in the perception of space, the feeling of belonging to the environment and the reception of environmental qualities. Tarbiat Street also has a great roll in improvement of collective activity, especially in relation to the city's economy, the quality of the environment and the health of the community. This landscape is a symbol of feeling the passion and mobility in life, discovering the values and attractions in the environment.
El-Golu Mansion is located in the El-Golu garden and lake, which is one of the most important attractions of Tabriz. This historical mansion has special design and position. That is a octangular building in the center of the lake and has openings all its around towards the lake and the garden. The building was previously a royal residence for Qajar courtiers and now is used as a hall for ceremonies. This lake is a beautiful landscape blended with light and color and the mentioned transparent mansion is like a diamond in this bright layer. This landscape is a symbol of purity, clarity, intimacy, generosity, kindness, generality and universality.
