- CONCEPT 1: "Socially inclusive process - Consensus vs. democracy": It is the concept about everybody participating at a planning process or desicion. Everybody comes to the same opinion in the end without an arising minority (Day, Christofer: Consensus Design).
- CONCEPT 2: "Environmental Justice and City Planning and Design": The concept of landscape literacy invites inhabitants of the Mill Creek getting literate (landscape literacy). That means they have to study their history, experience and culture. After that they start to recognize the problems in their environment (Spirn, Anne: Restoring Mill Creek).
- CONCEPT 3: "Techniques for Participatory Design": The aim is to create places with people by visualizing, communicating and designing by 5 special methods. These are representing the people, exchanging professional knowledge, coauthoring design, empowering people to represent themselves and visualizing deep values (Hester, Randolph: Democratic Drawing).

Landscape Symbols Author 1: Sanja Budinski
Every person born in Vojvodina has an emotional attachment for Panonian plain. As our childhood homeland, we are deeply connected to it's openness, and especially for people who left, it evokes homesickness and a bit of sadness. And symbol of that plain is Djeram - old irrigation tool used to extract water out of the well. It stands there as a lonely monument in the middle of the flat land emphasizing it's wideness and reminding us of some passed, simpler times..46.110607, 19.700348

The maypole is located on the plaza next to the new building of the university Weihenstephan-Triesdorf in Freising. Maypoles are placed by hand on the first of may in nearly all villages in bavaria. Around that event everyone who's living in the surrounding of it comes there in the typical bavarian dress in order to dance under it. On top of that there's a big celebration. On the maypole you can see arms, which caracterize the village.48°23'58.0"N 11°43'39.6"E
This is one of two lions of the lions gate waiting for you to pass it. It's in Freising on the Weihenstephan hill, on the campus of my university. That's why you enter it every day when you have lectures or projects at the HSWT. In bavaria you can find lots of lions as figures, pictures or even on the bavarian flag, because the lion is one symbol of bavaria. Furthermore lions have different symbolic meanings in many countries. 48°23'45.1"N 11°43'53.3"E

San Luca's Holy Virgin Sanctuary. When you arrive in Bologna this Sanctuary is the first thing you see. It was built as we know it in the 1700 in the the middle of the hills became one of the symbols of Bologna. It was destination for many pilgrims, so it was built a 4km-long portico thanks to the contribution of all citizens. The portico it's like a snake that is crushed by the Holy Virgin.

Cinema Lumière. It was born in 1984 in an active place for political students' movement and cradle for cultural initiatives, now it's in the ex-slaughterhouse. It's a special movie theatre because it offers the possibility to watch film in original language with subtitles. It's a cultural reference point for all the people because it offers many initiatives at cheap prices or for free: on summer it organizes film projections in the main square of the city. It's the symbol for open culture. N 44.5020245 E 11.334456100000011
MAMbo. It was built in 1915 as a bakery to help people during the war and became the Modern Art Museum in the middle of XX century. Once mostly used for commercial and production activities, this area is now the symbol of experimentation and innovation. The link is strenghtened by the renewal of the ancient buildings.
