Landscape Symbols Author 1: Sanja Budinski

• 

  Socialist city - planned neighborhoods built in the time of communism. Once symbol of modernization and progress, today these buildings with their dulled facades represent only the past time nostalgia.

• 

  Clock tower at the fortress in Novi Sad, Serbia, visible from accros the river makes a unique symbol of the city and it's history. Every local knows the story about it's peculiarity - a little hand indicates minutes, while the big hand represents hours.

• 

  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..

  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.

• 

  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.

• 

  An old church in Petershausen, which is now used as a bank. However, you can still find religios symbols and a holy figure on top of the entrance of the building.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

• 

  MAMbo. It was built in 1915 as a bakery to help people during the war and became the Modern Art Museum in the middle of XX century. Once mostly used for commercial and production activities, this area is now the symbol of experimentation and innovation. The link is strenghtened by the renewal of the ancient buildings.
