Concepts and definitions

Author 1: Penpichcha Saiwilai

  • The citizens are involved both individually or through elections in the decision making for the landscape and open spaces in the community equally.
  • The people can get an access to the decision making about how to shape the landscape through their daily life routine.
  • The landscape design must integrate the modern and up-to-date needs of the people with their daily life pattern.

Author 2: Rana Shukayr

  • How people define a landscape and how it is viewed differently by each person. Having experiments with different point of views about what is landscape and how they see it and label it. All this showed that it was related to background, memories, cultures, and discoveries.
  • The core of creating a landscape design is to engage the community by making them participate not only theoretically but with all their senses physically and emotionally. By doing so, these creative ideas with no barriers elevated the design of the landscape.
  • A wake up call for people watching the movie about the crisis of landscape. Showing the extreme emotional distress and the sufferings through the landscape. The aim is to give hope and resilience for the community living such dangers.

Author 3: Davide Coccolini

  • Landscape as meaning: we should understand this term cover alone any of the aspects of a single place: how it looks, how it has been built, how it is lived, how it lives in our memories, but expeccialy what we feel walking through it. "Landscape as an integrating concept, is exinstentially highly significant and serves as a natural and cultural heritage that deserves full attention" citation by Kuhne Olaf, Landscape concepts.
  • We need a come back to the "humanization of the public space" in order to keep its back to a Human dimension. Not using palliative situations, but structural ones. People need feeling to be part of a totality, not a mere mathematic number
  • we need to evolve from the idea to built spaces for a exact class. we need to design the city as a complete system of interactions. Designing is the pen to cure the segregation.
