Concepts and definitions

Author 1: Andrea

  • Cinematic landscape (Alexa Weik von Mossner, cinematic landscapes, topos 2014, 88)

In film, landscapes can act as symbols to underline a point, make you think of a place or event, or be used to enhance a feeling or mood through its role as "setting" or "backdrop" for the narrative, and it that way also becomes a part of it.

  • Placemaking (Places in the making, MIT,2013)

The practice concerns the deliberate shaping of an environment to facilitate social interaction and improve a community’s quality of life. Stresses the importance of the process of "making" to empower communities.

  • Political style - as a designer (Randy Hester, whose politics, 2005)

There are different types of designers, the blissfully naïve, the savvy naïve, servants, contextualists & catalysts. As a designer you have a political style wether you belong to the blissfully naive, who design with no concern or understanding of larger impacts and connections, or if you belong to the catalysts, who purposely act and design in order to address bigger issues and prompt change.

Author 2: Benoit

  • Local Self-government (European landscape convention, 2000)

This approach recognizes the possibility to the local people to be organized and protect the landscape. This theme appears in the European convention and develops the local power to protected and improve the landscape.

  • Tokenism (Sherry Arnstein, A ladder of citizen participation, 1969)

This is a ladder of the ladder of the participatory process. It is ladder where the participation start to be real. This ladder is divided in 3 parts Informing, consultation placation. That gather 3 steps and each one evolve in the participatory process.

  • River Community (Friends of the Los Angeles River (FoLAR).)

There are different people in different territories which share a common good, the River. That opens a community life which is organized around the river and them people accept to protect the river this is for the common good. This community organizes the life, they promote, the protection around the river.

  • the light.Traditional architecture in Iran has been continuously influenced by climatic factors. Sunlight can beconsidered as the most influential climatic factor affecting urban texture and the formation of traditional architecture. Due to the location and intensity of radiation in the four regions of Iran, the organization of space and the development of appropriate strategies for Controlling and guiding is normal. As a result, it is possible to observe various elements such as lattice , Orsy windows in architectural spaces that have been exposed to interaction with light.The allegory of light has the oldest mean in Iranian belief. The most basic foundation of the thought of Suhrawardi's illumination is on light.

Assignment 4 - Your Landscape Democracy Challenge

  • 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

  • Energysources vs. Landscape usage
  • caption: The focus lies in different interests of certain groups. On one side the production of energy and another side what is changed.

Landscape Democracy Challenge 2

  • Profit vs landscape democracy. Gentrification in the Old city of Oslo
  • caption: In Oslo, there are ongoing gentrification processes in the Old city. There is a renewed interest for this area that seems to have been forgotten for years. It is one of the parts of Oslo with the most diverse population where young couples and singles with high education and the poorest families in oslo live side by side. Around half of the ihabitants here are immigrants. The challenge is to be able to keep the social and ethical diversity of the neighborhood thoughout the changes the area will go through, to adapt not only for growth and earnings from raised property prices and wealthier inhabitants, but also for the existing community.

  • caption: One area in the old city that is being developed is 'landbrukskvartalet', they are planning to raise new highrise-buildings with big rooftop gardens and a sleek modern design based on the history of norwegian agriculture, with cafes and some urban farming on the ground floor. My fear is that the design and prices of the apartments and shops will further participate in the gentrification process, and only attract ethnically norwegian, weathier inhabitants, and participate in changing the identity of the area in a way that drives out or excludes big parts of the existing inhabitants there today.

  • caption: The poor families and immigrants might not afford or feel welcome to live or stay in the new 'landbrukskvartalet', as the plan shows a lack of free activities and the shaping of those that do exist might not be something everyone recognized as norwegian agricultural history is the inspiration. The area has the potential to be a pilot-project for how to further develop good, inclusive, and green spaces and residential areas so that we can move forward but also keep in mind and take care of the existing socially diverse and multicultural inhabitants and culture.

  • caption: The norwegian 'bondelag', bydel gamle oslo, growlab, and inhabitants of Grønland all have interests in developing this space. But no bigger participation has been done so far, and the developers and kommune are the ones out of all the stakeholders who are shaping the plan. This picture is from the website of the upcoming landbrukskvartal to tell people who are developing the area and is called "who are we?", it shows the point clearly, as all the people in this picture are white middleaged men in nice clothes and glasses. I hope they are openminded, middleaged white men, but a little diversity wouldnt hurt, and the way they choose to portray themselves in this process i think says a lot

  • caption: The UN goal for cities and communities is relevant for this challenge, because among other things as they say; inclusive and sustainable urbanization and capacity for participatory, integrated and sustainable human settlement planning is a target, which in this case is not fulfilled. The development is taking care of the cultural heritage of norway, but looking away from the existing and new culture that has grown and taken root in the area, and big discussions can be made on how inclusive the space will be.
