Landscape Symbols Author 1: Vicky (Moreno)

  • The Salamander Stadtpark is located in the center of Kornwestheim, across the City Hall. The historical and cultural meaning of the Salamander Enterprise donation for the creation of this park is huge, with some statues and inscriptions all over the park, inviting you to search the history of Kornwestheim more. The symbolism of this act is obvious. Salamander contributed to innovation giving thousands of working spaces, increasing the economy of the district, creating green infrastructure and its actions have an impact to the citizens till today.

  • Salamander Stadtpark in Korwestheim owns an artificial lake. The three landscape elements of this park: water, meadow and woodland are creating an interesting contrast in a harmonious way of nature. But especially water as a vivid element, has a very special quality in landscape design. Depending on the season it is representing freedom, family values, cultural and well-being activities, and more or less the feeling of equality. In winter when the lake freezes, in the eyes of many, prevails a harmonic sense of peace. In conclusion, water in the landscape is viewed as a symbol synomymous with development, economic progress, modernization and national prestige.

  • This sculpture, located at the roundabout on Stuttgarterstraße and Lindenstrasse, in the entrance of Kornwestheim city, was created to honor the mechanical clergyman and genius Philipp Matthäus Hahn and it symbolizes the cohesion among all the different sciences and spirituality. Only with strong fundamentals can someone innovate, create and invent for the public and not only for personal profits.

Landscape Symbols Author 2: Giulia Gazzotti

  • I am going to show three pictures related to three different places I lived. The first one was taken in Veggia, Italy, the place where I was born. I called it "Purity" because I feel this is a primal place, still not invaded by human kind.

  • The second picure is from Bologna, Italy, the place where I have studied for four years and I’m currently living. Its title is "The Beauty in the Dirtiness" because it rapresents the unique architectures and cultural heritage of Bologna that are normally surrounded by waste.

  • The last picture is from Lund, Sweden, the place of my exchange for five months. I named it "Efficiency", because in Sweden, differently from my country, public things, paid with public money, work perfectly. The conclusion is that Democracy gives the chance to culture and people to express theirselves freely in the landscape and this is clearly shown in the three pictures. They are the proof of a completely different result on which we should reflect.

Landscape Symbols Auther 3: Nicole (Ho Ching Leung)

  • (48° 46' 30.732" N 9° 10' 40.068" E) Photo was taken in Schlossplatz, in the open space in one of the busiest shopping streets in Stuttgart. The landscape symbol identified is the graffiti on benches. Graffiti is not only perceived as a hip-hip culture but also a way for youngsters to express their opinions to the society in recent decades. It is a symbol of the integration of social democracy and public space.

  • (48° 46' 42.582" N 9° 10' 42.912" E) Photo was taken in Schlossplatz, Stuttgart. The photo symbolises human control over nature. Parts of the existing lawn were replaced with decorative flower beds as visual attractions to celebrate the upcoming Easter. It not only reflects the role of landscape in cultural celebrations, but also human’s manipulation to nature, questioning the degree of democracy of the landscape itself.

  • (48° 44' 42.588" N 9° 6' 9.34" E) Photo was taken in University of Stuttgart. The photo reflects how different users perceive the same piece of landscape and give different symbolic meanings to it. This bridge with love-locks might be a romantic place for couples but just a normal bridge for single people. It reflects that the unique symbolic meanings of each landscape subject to users’ definitions and perceptions.

Landscape Symbols Author 4: Javier (Tirone)

  • I live in Pilar, Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is a place where the contrast between classes is notorious. This first picture shows a higher class family who has private security and amenities. This symobolizes how a big part of the society is excluded, by these private neighbourhoods, due to their incapacity of affording these services.

    This second picture represents a place of shops and households, is where most part of the people live. This symbolizes an integration of the society with the public space. Here citizens are meant to participate equally and have similar rights. In my opinion is the fairest way of living.
