  • 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 July 12, 2019

Concepts and definitions

Author 1: AMALA

    1. The book “ Image of the city”: by KEVIN LYNCH:The book consider the visual quality of American city by studying the mental image of that city which is held by its citizens.it concentrate especially on “ legibility “ of the cityscape: which is easily identifiable and are easily grouped.”building the Image” : the formal types of image elements into which we can conveniently divide the city image: path, landmark, edge, node, and district.” “Structure and identity”: an environmental image analysed into 3 components- identity , structure and meaning.” Imageability”.Analysis made of central areas of 3 american cities: boston, masaccuchussets;Jersey city, new jersey, los angeles, California.these casestudies are more about the character and structure of the urban image.The city image and its elements: edge, node, path, district, landmark.Analysis examples: beacon hill,scollay square.
    2. CONSENSUS VERSUS DEMOCRACY: definition of consensus is ‘general agreement; collective opinion [Latin = agreement (as consent)]’. Consensus design is about everybody getting – if not what they originally wanted – what, after working together and listening to the whole situation, they have come to want. In design, the ‘whole situation’ includes both buildings, the place where they’ll be and the people who will use them. Consensus is not an automatic state. We may start with full agreement on major aims, but over details this is rare. Buildings are built out of details. this is much fairer, more constructive and more conscious – so more fully involving – than voting- and this is the reason for preferring consensus to democracy. Reaching decisions: democratic or consensual routes.states of the questions such as Which level to start at?Existing situation: sequence of levels for consensus appraisal.Design stage: sequence of levels for consensus decisions.
    3. Alejandro Aravena:THE DESIGN POWER OF SYNTHESIS- the architectural philosophy- Bringing the community into the process.If there is any power in design it’s the power of synthesis.the more complex the problem the more the need for simplicity.three cases that apply here: 1: cities : the global challenge of urbanisation.3S-scale-to channel peoples own building capacity..scarcity and speed.solution of participatory design process: initial social housing by including the families: with the example of chile.two major things to do: joint forces and split tasks: different designs with the same principle.2:how design can contribute to sustainability.example of angeline innovation centre.3: how design can provide more comprehensive answers against natural disasters.example: chile-tsunami-First alternative is forbid installation on ground zero.Second alternative is build a big wall-heavy infrastructure to resist energy of the waves.the participatory design is –all about the future of the city.alternative was valid politically and socially.Second problem is flood-approach was against geographical threat.Design power of synthesis is trying to make a more efficient use of the scarciest resourses in the cities which is not money but coordination.its just an attempt to put at the innermost core of architecture, the force of life.

  • Concepts of Participation

The conception of public participation how it was started in 1960 in the USA in the landscape development process. Deliberate democracy is required to make people more aware of the condition to make them understand the value & interest of others. Multiple views of participatory is to bring the planners, architects, and general public & policymakers on the same platform to create a ‘co-design’. "Participation" objective is to conceptualizing the issues with all groups & analyzing the public reaction to proposed action policies. At the next step, it is necessary to move forward to develop strategic planning & visioning. 1. Setting goals 2 taking action 3. Evaluate result 4. Improved quality decision. Finally, a consensus is very important to implement all these decisions into reality.

  • Community and Identity

Design for democracy is building an ecological democracy through the design process. It is about to remake American cities, know the American neighbors & indicate the community problems That helps us to sustain our liberty, our life culture & ecological system on which our life depends mostly. Ecological democracy is the best possible we can achieve through the combination of democracy & ecology. We have enabled the form to know our neighbors & resilient form to life, liberty & sustainable happiness. The design process must follow some ideas centeredness, connectedness, fairness, accessibility & sensible status seeking.

  • Designing

Placemaking represents the identity of the local community depicting tangible & intangible heritage. We can learn from the essence of placemaking how to design a public space considering our previous experiences, how it works every day & connection between community & social spaces. “Placemaking is an act of doing something. It’s not planning, it’s doing. That’s what’s so powerful about it.” Fred Kent, Project for Public Spaces©

Landscape Symbols Author 1: Nafiz Rahat

  • Hadis Park, Khulna, Bangladesh One of the historical park in Khulna city Bangladesh. In 1925 Mahatma Gandhi gave his speech in this park.Later after independence this park became unused, dirty place & a zone of criminal activity day by day. In 2011, Khulna City Corporation (KCC) took innitiative steps to intervene in the park based on the demand of Khulna city people.

  • FISHERMAN WIFE - (44°04'54.6"N 12°34'36.2"E) In Rimini is possible to find this statue made of bronze, placed at the tip of the dock facing the open sea. The statue represent a woman with children on the shore waiting for her husband fishing in the sea. The scene is drammatic.The woman is aiming a point on the horizon trying to figure out where the husband fishing boat is, probably hoping to to see him coming back safely to the port. Till the XIX century this kind of risks were a big concern for families, in fact the sails of the fishing boats were all different from each other in order to make them recognizable from the shore. Each boat had its own particular sign on the sail, smartphones and GPS weren’t available back then. Fishing had always been part of Rimini's culture since it's on the coast, but in the last years it started losing its identity because of massive tourism from all over Europe. This sculpture wants to remember us our past, our origins, the respect for tough jobs such as fishing and most of all the respect for the sea as a force of nature and as a resource.FISHERMAN WIFE

  • FINESTRELLA DI VIA PIELLA - (44°29'54.8"N 11°20'43.1"E)The Finestrella from Bologna can be considered as a symbol because it gives us a view from the past and remember us that we should preserve our environment and cultural background against an easy and irresponsible progress. Bologna between the XIII and XVII century was famous for the production of fabrics made of silk and had 15 watermills that were providing energy to move the mules. These watermills were powered by many rivers passing through the city. The city should’ve looked like an inland Venice. During the ‘50s the local administration decided to cover all the rivers and to release wastewater into them in the name of a quick progress. Since that moment Bologna changed completely its aspect. Only in 1998 the local administration started a new project with the intent to regain that lost beauty. The river we can see through the window is the Fiume Reno that was uncovered and cleaned from the dirt. Moreover the small window was placed to create an inspiring point of view and to give the sense of what it should’ve been.FINESTRELLA DI VIA PIELLA

  • BOLOGNA’S URBAN FABRIC - (44°29'37.9"N 11°20'33.8"E) Bologna itself and its urban fabric can be considered as a landscape symbol because, despite its monuments and so on, the main aspect that makes Bologna stand in the comparison with other cities is its urban planning. The will to preserve its medieval pattern throughout the centuries had always been part of citizens sensibilities. This includes materials, colours and many other features. Meanwhile in Europe at the end of the XIX century was developing a sense of discard to the past urban set up, Bologna instead found its own way to renew itself respecting its origins. The best way to experience Bologna in fact is to take a walk around the city center, enjoy its porches and be amazed by the continuity of its glimpses despite built in different periods.BOLOGNA’S URBAN FABRIC
