  • Each group will also report on their process to come to a set of shared definitions of key landscape democracy concepts on the wiki documentation until June 20, 2018

Concepts and definitions

Author 1: Sanja Budinski

  • CONCEPT 1 (Sanoff, Henry (2014): Multiple Views of Participatory Design) - Participatory design is a force of change in creation of human's environments creating benefits such as citizen empowerment, increasing social capital and promoting a sense of community.
  • CONCEPT 2 (The New Urban Agenda Quito Declaration on Sustainable Cities and Human Settlements for All, UN resolution from December 2016) - Principles of sustainable and inclusive urban prosperity, equity and opportunity for all will ensure successful transformation of our cities in the process of global urbanization.
  • CONCEPT 3 (The New Urban Agenda Quito Declaration on Sustainable Cities and Human Settlements for All, UN resolution from December 2016) - People centered planning needs to go beyond community engagement to empower all individuals and communities in order to end all forms of discrimination.

Author 2: Sarah Jankowski

  • 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).

Author 5: Giulia LANDSCAPE AT HUMAN SCALE

  • AESTHETIC: considering the feedback loop between culture and landscape, the landscape can be changed according to aesthetic qualities that guides human behavior
  • EXPERIENCE: it is essential to know what are people habits and what really inhabitants care about, also carefully inspired by the on-site signs
  • NEEDS: change is possible only after researching and understanding what are the basic needs of the people

  • 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

  • You can read more details about this assignment here
  • Each group member will specify a landscape democracy challenge in his/her environment
  • Each Landscape Democracy Challenge should be linked to two or three of UN's 17 sustainable development Goals


Landscape Democracy challenge Sanja

  • Pollution of Krivaja river
  • why did you select this case?The Krivaja River, 109 kilometers long, is the longest watercourse that flows throughout Vojvodina, Serbia. However, due to the launch of new industrial plants that directly pollute the river, especially in the municipality of Backa Topola, this watercourse is now completely dead. Location: 45.826527, 19.512625

  • what is the issue/conflict The pollution, coming mostly from meat factories, but also from the intensive agriculture and sewage has tremendously bad effect on the population in the area. Weight of the problem can be seen from the example of the fact that people cannot open their windows because of the unbearable odor coming from the river. Furthermore, even though the pollution hasn't reached the local water supply system, in the event of a change in pressure, the pollutant could reach water pipes. (1)

  • what is the issue/conflict - Besides affecting local population directly and indirectly, pollution in river Krivaja has negative effects on biodiversity and overall environment. As the largest river with the source in Vojvodina, Krivaja has the potential to develop tourism, fishing and irrigation systems. However, the river in such a bad ecological state can not provide ecosystem services; but instead, it can only have negative impact on its surroundings.(2)

  • A TOP TO DOWN URBAN DESIGN PROJECT
  • caption: why did you select this case?Imam-Husein Square was one of the oldest traditional and commercial districts in the capital, the important reason why I chose this area is that renovation of this square is one the few urban projects that are done in Tehran, and unfortnately completely unsuccessful.

  • caption: what is the issue/conflict (1)the most significant issue here is the brutal image of this new space, which is made of some huge iron structures and is totally incompatible with the soul of the place. moreover, it has produced a detached and discontinuous edge that does not cover the space.

  • caption: what is the issue/conflict (2)as you see in the picture, there is an underpass behind the square. traffic problems seem to be solved here, but a lot of homeless people spend the night in the outlying places which are the products of this unappealing design. all the small shops and retails disappeared, and despite of religious ambiance of the place, prostitutes stand there at night and seek for their opportunities.

  • caption: who are the actors? clearly, this project is a top-down process, even the consulting companies acted beneath the government. the head designer was a foreigner who didnt completely dominated Iranian culture and architecture. ultimately the space and its components were designed in a modern way.

  • caption: UN's Sustainable Development Goal? the second useful goal and approach that we can have is to operating system like a roundtrip. for instance in the Imam Husein square if we iniate a new design but in every section we make sure of our products and usage pattern of people, it would give a very nice opportunity to create the best design.
