== Assignment 3 - Images of Nature in your Environment ==

*'''Assigned: Wednesday, October 30'''
*'''Due: Tuesday, December 3'''

''An 'image of nature' can be any planting design or vegetation structure. It might be on a local scale in your direct vicinity or be a part of a wider landscape structure. Each group member finds an individual page here that links to a template. You can use this template for documenting your case.''

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
*''Biogeography, cultural features, overall character, history and dynamics''

* The green space we decided to use for our design project is located on the South part of Chilliwack in Canada, British Columbia at the intersection of the Vedder Rd. with Manuel Rd. therefore it's called Manuel Park.
* Chilliwack is a small city in the Fraser Valley, situated 100 km away from Vancouver with a population of about 80,000. Surrounded by high mountain peaks and rivers, it was once a small agricultural town, the mild climate providing good conditions for growing crops.
* Most public green spaces have a very natural feel and appearance, minimal human intervention and amenities.
* Manuel Park is a fairly new park, resulted after the rezoning of a private propriety and the development of a new residential village. The circumstances that lead to the decision of maintaining the green space and making it public are unclear, it might have been the difficulty and higher costs of development and maintenance due to the land forms or it may have been designated or requested by the city to serve as green space for the newly established community.
* Manuel Park serves as a crossing point for residents of the Sardis area, being at the roads intersection, across the street from a Primary School and close to a small commercial area, it is high circulated but it doesn't seem to serve much as a resting or play area.
* The place seems to have kept it's natural appearance and wildlife habitat.
* The park features three small pedestrian bridges to allow easy access from the residential area and diagonal crossing over the creek. Some improvements have been brought to the park at the end of the summer of 2013, such as gravel trails, a bench, a picnic table and some of the invasive vegetation has been removed.
* The park's inhabitants are a wide variety of small birds, geese, ducks and racoons.

* Illustration: Map; sketches; short descriptive analyses

== What are the objectives of your design? ==

''Please give a short written argumentation (not more than 150 words). It is ok if you have different or even contradicting objectives within your group. Just make it explicit at the beginning of your process ''

Andreea
* Looking at this project while still being realistic, I wouldn't propose too many changes, especially related to the structure. Measures have to be taken concerning the invasive species on the site that seem to become a very serious problem, the Blackberry bush being the number one enemy. I propose improving the appearance of the site by introducing some ornamental species of plants at both ends of each bridge, since the bridges are the most circulated areas in the park, plant beds at the entrances to the park by the road as a welcome 'mat' for the visitors. I'd focus all the planting on native and hardy species. With a single bench and a picnic table being the only features of the park, I propose more seating/resting area focusing on the island and the peninsula, being that these areas are the furthest away from the roads and the residents houses as well, some of the existing vegetation can provide privacy, while still being able to enjoy the beauty of the water body. Some other issues such as the lack of trash cans and lighting have to be addressed as well. In support of the wildlife habitat I think some bird houses would be welcomed. Having or not having a playground on this site needed further discussion we seem to have come to a conclusion which will be presented shortly.

Candela
* My proposal is trying to do a more invasive procidure compared to the other proposals.
With this one I try to tidy the space by creating new ways which are guide lines to the main spaces, the circles, which pretend to be wooden platforms above the water, where the activities take place.
These artificial areas coexist with a wild nature, leaving it as wild as posible, respecting the water and the trees.
So this project is about giving the possibility to enjoy this wildness through paths and platforms.

== Analytical drawings ==
''Please add four analytical sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) of your case. Every group member needs to contribute at least one drawing.''

== Design Synthesis ==
''Please analyse the individual approaches presented so far and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses (you may use the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWOT_analysis SWOT]analysis model). Try to create a synthesis and represent it with a plan and some sketches. You can still use drawings/sketches.''

</gallery>

== Summary of the collaborative process ==
''Please reflect on your collaborative design process. Which potentials have you encountered? What was most difficult? What does collaborative design mean for you? (approx 150 words).''

Completing such a task was a tremendous challenge considering that every group member comes from a different background, different country, time zone and above all each one of us has a full time duty, while trying to attend the lectures and keep up with the assignments. An incredible amount of work was consumed to simply bring the group together for discussions. However we think this collaboration was very fruitful, we had a lot to learn from each other, some cultural aspects, some expertise from previous experiences, as well as technology tips and tricks. We wish we had more time and resources available to dedicate to this project and the design proposal. Apart from time discrepancies we had a good time working together and we think achieved our goal.

''Please give a short written argumentation (not more than 150 words). It is ok if you have different or even contradicting objectives within your group. Just make it explicit at the beginning of your process ''

Andreea
* Looking at this project while still being realistic, I wouldn't propose too many changes, especially related to the structure. Measures have to be taken concerning the invasive species on the site that seem to become a very serious problem, the Blackberry bush being the number one enemy. I propose improving the appearance of the site by introducing some ornamental species of plants at both ends of each bridge, since the bridges are the most circulated areas in the park, plant beds at the entrances to the park by the road as a welcome 'mat' for the visitors. I'd focus all the planting on native and hardy species. With a single bench and a picnic table being the only features of the park, I propose more seating/resting area focusing on the island and the peninsula, being that these areas are the furthest away from the roads and the residents houses as well, some of the existing vegetation can provide privacy, while still being able to enjoy the beauty of the water body. Some other issues such as the lack of trash cans and lighting have to be addressed as well. In support of the wildlife habitat I think some bird houses would be welcomed. Having or not having a playground on this site needed further discussion we seem to have come to a conclusion which will be presented shortly.

== Analytical drawings ==
''Please add four analytical sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) of your case. Every group member needs to contribute at least one drawing.''

== Projective drawings ==
''Please add four projective sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes), of course with an emphasis on planting design/vegetation aspects. Every group member needs to contribute at least one drawing representing his/her individual ideas.''

== Design Synthesis ==
''Please analyse the individual approaches presented so far and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses (you may use the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWOT_analysis SWOT]analysis model). Try to create a synthesis and represent it with a plan and some sketches. You can still use drawings/sketches.''

== Summary of the collaborative process ==
''Please reflect on your collaborative design process. Which potentials have you encountered? What was most difficult? What does collaborative design mean for you? (approx 150 words).''

Completing such a task was a tremendous challenge considering that every group member comes from a different background, different country, time zone and above all each one of us has a full time duty, while trying to attend the lectures and keep up with the assignments. An incredible amount of work was consumed to simply bring the group together for discussions. However we think this collaboration was very fruitful, we had a lot to learn from each other, some cultural aspects, some expertise from previous experiences, as well as technology tips and tricks. We wish we had more time and resources available to dedicate to this project and the design proposal. Apart from time discrepancies we had a good time working together and we think achieved our goal.

|}

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==

This is an example of a good and a bad use of nature in an urban area. On one hand, it shows how nature can solve problems by a good management of it and, on the other hand, how a bad maintenance of it can make the problem worse.
This is directly related to my life, this is the view a have from my window and the first thing I see when I go to the street.

== Author's perspective ==
As an Architecture student I am approaching this case focusing on the use of the nature in this environment, an area that has to be, not just seen but also lived. I decided to divide the case in two ways of procedure: good use and bad use.

''What is there, what we want of it to be there, the way we manage to get it and the final appearance.''

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
The city where this case takes part is named Kassel, is a town located on the Fulda River in northern Hesse, Germany. This city counts with many parks and Green spaces, for example the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This city doesn’t have the typical German architecture, and it is because of its history: during the World War II Kassel was an important city, well located, so it could be considered as an aim for enemies and the most severe bombing of Kassel in World War II destroyed 90% of the downtown area.

Post-war, most of the ancient buildings were not restored, and large parts of the downtown area were completely rebuilt in the style of the 1950s. A few historic buildings, even thought, remains.
That is why this case I am presenting, can not be compared to the common garman way of procedure.

== Projective drawings ==

It would be really nice if the idea of creating a green space into the urban structure would have been taken to its extreme, that way it would have had so much potential.
Planting many other trees could do of this place a great "break" in the city, like a breathing space, increasing its strength along the years.

</gallery>

== Summary and conclusion ==
A good example of how nature can be part of daily life, sometimes making it nicer with great green areas in the city structure, and other times, a bad maintenance of what could be a nice space, providing a worse appearance than without the nature part. On the other hand, its good use, allows to manage the space according to whats desired:
''What is there, what we want of it to be there, the way we manage to get it and the final appearance.''

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==

This is an example of a good and a bad use of nature in an urban area. On one hand, it shows how nature can solve problems by a good management of it and, on the other hand, how a bad maintenance of it can make the problem worse.
This is directly related to my life, this is the view a have from my window and the first thing I see when I go to the street.

== Author's perspective ==
As an Architecture student I am approaching this case focusing on the use of the nature in this environment, an area that has to be, not just seen but also lived. I decided to divide the case in two ways of procedure: good use and bad use.

''What is there, what we want of it to be there, the way we manage to get it and the final appearance.''

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
The city where this case takes part is named Kassel, is a town located on the Fulda River in northern Hesse, Germany. This city counts with many parks and Green spaces, for example the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This city doesn’t have the typical German architecture, and it is because of its history: during the World War II Kassel was an important city, well located, so it could be considered as an aim for enemies and the most severe bombing of Kassel in World War II destroyed 90% of the downtown area.

Post-war, most of the ancient buildings were not restored, and large parts of the downtown area were completely rebuilt in the style of the 1950s. A few historic buildings, even thought, remains.
That is why this case I am presenting, can not be compared to the common garman way of procedure.

== Analytical drawings ==
''Please add four analytical sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) of your case and take the following aspects into account:''
* ''natural dynamic versus cultural framework - in how far do these two forces come together in your case?''
* ''dynamic through the year (you may imagine how the site looks in spring and summer, maybe you also remember it)''
* ''highlight potentials and problems''

== Projective drawings ==

It would be really nice if the idea of creating a green space into the urban structure would have been taken to its extreme, that way it would have had so much potential.
Planting many other trees could do of this place a great "break" in the city, like a breathing space, increasing its strength along the years.

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==

This is an example of a good and a bad use of nature in an urban area. One one hand, it shows how nature can solve problems by a good management of it and, on the other hand, how a bad maintenance of it can make the problem worse.
This is directly related to my life, this is the view a have from my window and the first thing I see when I go to the street.

== Author's perspective ==
As an Architecture student I am approaching this case focusing on the use of the nature in this environment, an area that has to be, not just seen but also lived. I decided to divide the case in two ways of procedure: good use and bad use.

''What is there, what we want of it to be there, the way we manage to get it and the final appearance.''

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
The city where this case takes part is named Kassel, is a town located on the Fulda River in northern Hesse, Germany. This city counts with many parks and Green spaces, for example the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This city doesn’t have the typical German architecture, and it is because of its history: during the World War II Kassel was an important city, well located, so it could be considered as an aim for enemies and the most severe bombing of Kassel in World War II destroyed 90% of the downtown area.

Post-war, most of the ancient buildings were not restored, and large parts of the downtown area were completely rebuilt in the style of the 1950s. A few historic buildings, even thought, remains.
That is why this case I am presenting, can not be compared to the common garman way of procedure.

== Analytical drawings ==
''Please add four analytical sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) of your case and take the following aspects into account:''
* ''natural dynamic versus cultural framework - in how far do these two forces come together in your case?''
* ''dynamic through the year (you may imagine how the site looks in spring and summer, maybe you also remember it)''
* ''highlight potentials and problems''

</gallery>

== Projective drawings ==
* ''Please add four projective sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) for your case and take the following aspects into account:''
** ''How would you like this case to change in the near future? (in 1-2 years)''
** ''And how could it look like in 10-15 years?''

== Summary and conclusion ==
''Please summarize your case and give arguments for your projective design (approx 150 words).''
