Landscape Symbols Author 1: Ferhat Türkoglu

Lake Side Square, Zurich, Switzerland. The activity of people in the urban open space with music, food & sightseeing. To me the liberty to enjoy this urban open space with the lake in the front and this scenic beauty, this experience in itself means democracy, and landscape democracy, so to say. 47.3663535,8.5445599
Do not touch the flowers. Location: Khagrachari, Chittagong, Bangladesh. A sneak peek into a garden enthusiast's house, in the height of some 1800 feet in a small indigenous village in Khagrachari. The signboard 'do not touch flowers' might make passersby curious and it also explains the thoughtful arrangements of the flowers and lush green plants near the walking routes. It gave me a window to the owner's mind.23.4115976,92.2712831
Martyr Monument. Location: University Road, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Built in the commemoration of the martyrs killed during the language movement of 21st Feb 1952. The monument symbolizes the importance of Bengali language for the public, as language is one of the basic rights of people. The place stands as a witness of the history as on this exact place the movement took place. It is at the same time a social, cultural and political symbol. 23.7266351,90.3953682

Taksim square represents history. It is a famous place symbolizing the birth of the modern Turkish Republic. Also it’s an important landmark and serves to citizens and tourists as city compass. The city’s heartbeats can be heard from there because it connects people who comes from different taste of politic, religion and philosophies. 41.036876, 28.985157
The Gezi Park is located next to the historical Taksim Square in Beyoglu which is one of the busiest intersections in Istanbul. The park is small but has enough green space to sit down and relax.It provides a comfortable setting for people who need to be away from the chaos of the outside world. It is like a secret garden where people can quietly revitalize. After the protests in 2013, Gezi Park became a more powerful symbol for inhabitants. 41.038871, 28.987050
Istiklal is a historical, commercial and vivid open space in Istanbul. It welcomes thousands of people on their way in the morning and night as well as many tourists dwelling the city. It’s represent social communication and openness. The heart of the city beats here people from all walks of life exist peacefully. 41.035452, 28.982104

This is the tower of an aqueduct in a suburban area of the city of Bologna, Corticella. In this district this tower, after a process of restructuring the neighborhood to increase the feeling of belonging to it, has acquired a role of territorial demarcation and meeting point of the citizens of Corticella.
Labas is a Political collective of Bologna that has occupied an old barrack in the city center that wasn't being used. Now this collective organizes political and cultural manifestations every week and promotes a space of discussions and cultural appropriation. This picture was taken during a movie's premiere that has takes place on the old barrack occupied by Labas.
