=== PAISAJE SONORO ===

''
PAISAJE SONORO ES LA MANIFESTACIÓN ACÚSTICA DE UN LUGAR, LOS SONIDOS DAN A LOS HABITANTES UN SENTIDO DEL SITIO, LA CALIDAD ACÚSTICA DEL ÁREA TOMA LA FORMA DE LAS ACTIVIDADES Y EL COMPORTAMIENTO DE LOS HABITANTES. LOS SIGNIFICADOS DEL LUGAR SE CREAN A TRAVÉS DE LA INTERACCIÓN ENTRE UN PAISAJE SONORO Y LOS OYENTES.
EL TÉRMINO PAISAJE SONORO INDICA A LAS VIBRACIONES FÍSICAS DEL SONIDO, A LA FORMA EN QUE LOS OYENTES INTERPRETAN UN ENTORNO SONORO. UN OYENTE DENTRO DE UN PAISAJE SONORO ES “PARTE DE UN SISTEMA DINÁMICO DE INTERCAMBIO DE INFORMACIÓN", INTERPRETANDO UN PAPEL EN SU ESTRUCTURA.

EJEMPLOS DE PAISAJES SONOROS:

• EN UN ENTORNO RURAL, LOS PÁJAROS QUE PÍAN, LAS RANAS QUE CROAN, EL RUMOR DEL AGUA DE UN ARROYO, DOS PERSONAS CONVERSANDO, LAS CAMPANAS DE LA IGLESIA, EL SONIDO DEL TREN, ETC.
• EN LA CIUDAD, EL SONIDO DE LOS CARROS, LA MULTITUD CAMINANDO EN LAS CALLES, EL SONIDO DEL METRO, LOS RUIDOS DE UNA CONSTRUCCION.

=== SOUNDSCAPE ===

''SOUNDSCAPE IS THE ACOUSTIC MANIFESTATION OF A PLACE, THE SOUNDS GIVE THE INHABITANTS A SENSE OF THE PLACE, THE ACOUSTIC QUALITY OF THE AREA TAKES THE SHAPE OF THE ACTIVITIES AND THE BEHAVIOR OF THE INHABITANTS. THE MEANINGS OF THE PLACE ARE CREATED THROUGH INTERACTION BETWEEN A SOUNDSCAPE AND THE LISTENERS.
THE TERM SOUNDSCAPE INDICATES THE PHYSICAL VIBRATIONS OF SOUND, THE WAY THAT THE LISTENERS UNDERSTAND AN ACOUSTIC ENVIROMENT. A LISTENER INSIDE A SOUNSCAPE IS “ PART OF A DINAMIC SYSTEM OF INFORMATION EXCHANGE”, PLAYING A ROLE IN ITS STRUCTURE.

EXAMPLES OF SOUNDSCAPES:
. IN A RURAL ENVIROMENT, THE SING OF THE BIRDS, THE CROAK OF THE FROGS, THE RUMOR OF WATER IN A SMALL RIVER, TWO PEOPLE TALKING, THE BELLS OF A CHURCH, THE SOUND OF THE TRAIN.
. IN THE CITY, THE SOUND OF THE CARS, THE CROWDS WALKING IN THE STREET, THE SUBWAY, THE NOISES IN A CONSTRUCTION SITE.''

Assignment 3: Future landscapes

2010-11-25T19:59:12Z

Fernando bujaidar: /* Group 3 - Clemson 3 and Nürtingen 1 (Fernando, Carla + Balasz) */

'''[http://draco.hfwu.de/~wikienfk5/index.php/Assignments_Seminar_Concepts_of_Landscape_2010 Back to Assignments]'''

== Task ==

'''Assigned: Tuesday, Nov. 9'''

'''Due: Tuesday, Nov. 29'''

In this third assignment the focus is on the future of landscapes. You will discuss recent and upcoming approaches, problems, phenomena, policies, and goals. Based on this you will give answers to questions such as:

*What is a desirable landscape for the future?
*How does it look like?
*What is the contribution of the landscape architecture profession to get there?

In order to learn more about differences and similarities between the different participating countries concerning current issues and the future of landscapes, this assignment will be done in '''internationally mixed groups'''. The groups will prepare a short presentation, addressing the above mentioned questions along one case study from each of the countries they represent.
The overall objective of this assignment is to reflect on how we imagine landscapes to be considered - and thus designed - in the future - which is basically also your professional future.

We want you to approach this discussion in different steps:

'''Step 1: Look for a case study for future landscapes from your background'''

Here you will still work separated in your "local" groups. Look for an existing landscape project which you know already well, preferably from your regional background, and give a description of it according to the case study template your find on your wiki page. This landscape should reveal in some way your idea of a desirable future landscape. Please do not forget to consider the theoretical background of this seminar as given in the two lectures by Dora and Galen as well as in the literature resources. The documentation of this case study needs to be finished on Sunday, 21st of November for the latest.

Optional: meet synchonously via skype or chat facilities during this first phase.

'''Step 2: Read each other's case studies carefully'''

'''Step 3: React on each other's answers to the core questions'''

The case study template includes core questions which refer already to the future landscapes' theme. Each group needs to comment in written form on the others' answers to these questions. Use your group page's discussion page for these comments.

Step 2+3 need to be completed before our seminar meeting on November 23rd during which we will also give some further theoretical insights.

'''Step 4: Synthesis phase'''

Sum up the main arguments (from both) and visualise them in a concept map. Add concluding thoughts (bringing arguments together) to this map. In this phase you will need to decide clearly who will do what. Add your concept map and some explanatory text to the last paragraph of your wiki page. A draft version needs to be online on the 26th already, so that we can give you some final comments. This process needs to be finished on the 29th of November. For developing your concept map you can use open source tools such as VUE (http://vue.tufts.edu) or Cmap (http://cmap.ihmc.us/conceptmap.html). Please do not use mind mapping tools (such as freemind), they are monocentred and thus not useful for this task (concept maps are polycentric). In case your are not familiar with concept mapping you can explore some examples on the wiki under this link:

http://draco.hfwu.de/~wikienfk5/index.php/Category:Concept_Map_Participation

Base your work on literature provided on the seminar WIKI among "Resources", given by your instructor and own search for literature and case studies.

'''Literature:'''

As one major reference for your reflection look at the following book:

*Sieverts, Thomas. 2003. [http://moodle.hfwu.de/moodle/file.php/94/Literature/sieverts_zwistadt_engl.pdf Cities without cities. An interpretation of the Zwischenstadt.] English language ed. London: Spon Press.

Specific literature, maybe related to the discussion in the individual countries, are availabe [http://draco.hfwu.de/~wikienfk5/index.php/Literature_and_Resources_Concepts_of_Landscape_2010 here].

'''Step 5: Presentation'''

We plan to have all groups presenting their results in the plenary. Your presentation should include: short note on the case studies (one slide each), the main arguments (one slide for each case) and the synthesis concept map.

'''Deliverables:'''

*'''5-7 minutes presentation''' briefly introducing case studies and conclusions as input for the joint discussion; please send your presentation (as ppt.zip or pdf) to '''Ellen ellen.fetzer(at)hfwu.de''' for upload in Vitero by '''November 29'''.

'''Evaluation criteria:'''
*50% Content: depth of analysis and reflection; clear communication of findings, creativity in the process of analysis, delivery of products assigned;
*25% Communication of content: structure/logical flow of spoken language and slides;
*25% Graphic quality: visual quality, organization, cohesiveness of layout, craftsmanship.

=== Description ===

'''See Promenade (Lakeside Walk), Überlingen am Bodensee, Germany.'''
This picture gives us a very good idea of how the different elements come together to create a landscape. On the left side we can see the Konstanz Lake (Bodensee), which is itself very peculiar, given that is the point of union between 3 countries: Germany, Austria and Switzerland (4 if we count Lichtenstein), it is for this cause, that the region has a very rich cultural exchange, and therefore it is quite unique. On the center of the frame, there are a lot of trees of many different kinds, their variation of color gives the picture a warmer tone, contrasting with the coldness of the water, the sky and the walk path, this colors can be seen during the autumn, this is also important for it reminds us that the landscape can be easily changed by nature, more significantly, and more rapidly than the human hand. Finally, on the right side, lies the walk path and there are also some buildings, the path is used by many people every day, but it can have a very different signification to each person, for some it can be a medium of work, for some others it can be just a relaxation point, and so on, this also comes to affect the way people feel about a landscape, the meaning it has to them.

'''Überlingen Bahnhof (Überlingen Train Station), Überlingen am Bodensee, Germany'''.
There is one main point to this image, and that is the mix of the old and the new elements, we can see that the main construction of the train station and the tunnel are very old, and yet there are some elements that are, lacking a better word, younger, also, it’s shown how the nature have come to play an important role in this urban landscape, it’s possible to see in the right side of the picture, how the plants have grown all over the wall, merging into one with it, another reminder that nature is not easily tamed, actually, the fact that the station is shaped the way it is, was affected directly by nature, it is built in a depression that has been there before there were any humans around. Once again the visualization of the landscape will depend on each person, no one will feel the same, or see the same in this place, so this is not one landscape, this is an endless amount of them, as many as there are people around it.

'''Panoramic view, Überlingen am Bodensee, Germany.'''
In this photo nature does not play a very important role, it is more of a urban landscape, nonetheless, it is important that we acknowledge that it was probably nature that made this landscape the way it is, because, human kind since ancient times have had to adapt to the natural conditions of his habitat, and so have he shaped his surroundings, turning them into what we see, feel and live today. And even when nature does not appear to have a strong presence in this picture, it is there, because man cannot remove it completely, for he can’t live without it, and even when man continues to make bigger and bigger buildings, it will never be able to let nature completely out of frame. Nature is everything, even when man changes its shape, everything we see in this picture is nature, the houses are made of wood, the church we see right in the center is made of stone, and so on, every element is just nature transformed; maybe men should pay more attention to the ways of nature, so we could optimize its uses, affecting it as less as possible.

=== Description ===
'''Chinesischer Turm (Chinese Tower)'''

Located in the heart of the English Garden (Englischer Garten ), Munich, the Chinese tower was built in 1789-1790, as a performance platform. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Englischer_Garten)

Till today, the Chinese tower still entertained its visitors and guests with traditional music from the brass band and beers from one of the earliest brewery in the region. Housing a spectacular seating space of more than 7000 people, it is set to create an all year round Oktoberfest atmosphere. (http://www.cityscouter.com/travelguides/munich/Chinese-Tower-Chinesischer-Turm.html)

As one of the most frequently visited attractions in Munich, the Chinese tower is a popular social gathering space, both for the locals as well as foreigners. Together they drink; chat, sing and dance, under the Chinese tower in the English garden of Munich, Germany.
To find such a Chinese pagoda in such context is ironic, but nevertheless, it provides the vast park with a distinctive landmark. Which otherwise would be a real challenge for the visitors to find their ways or even to set a place for meeting.

Also the language of the Tower narrates the possibilities that cultural influence of the Chinese once swept across this land. Creating immense fascination that inspired Architects to construct a 25 meter high tower in the middle of a European city.

Although the Chinese architecture physically dominates the space, the local culture remains as the soul of the place. In other words, the actual atmosphere is still formed and shaped by the Bavarian living habits and lifestyle.

'''Marienplatz(Munich City Centre)'''

Known as the city centre of Munich, it served as an important public square to the city since 1158, hosting various important social events. (http://www.aviewoncities.com/munich/marienplatz.htm)

Today the square is dominated by the gothic style architecture of the new townhall, built in 1867 - 1909, it was the solution to the overcrowded old townhall back then. (http://www.aviewoncities.com/munich/marienplatz.htm)

Inhabited by shops, traditional restaurants, souvenir kiosks and the fact that it is the old city square, Marienplatz earned itself the title as a ‘must visit place’ in numerous travel guides . However, these are the only reasons which explain the thousands of people visiting daily.

Well connected to more than 3 busy subway stations, all within comfortable walking distances. Like our vital body system, they depict the arteries to the heart, making circulations through the square natural.

Besides that, varieties of businesses and activities flood into the square, resulting in a lively and vivid atmosphere, which is able to attract and retain the crowd. These also act as a relief to the network of busy streets, creating a pause to the dynamism.

One clear example of the effect can be seen daily during the 1100, 1200, and 1700 hours. At this time of the day, figurines within the famous Glockenspiel perform 2 traditional stories dated back in the 16th century, entertaining the hundred of audiences in front of the gothic facade for a whole quarter of an hour. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rathaus-Glockenspiel)

Marienplatz was of course not spare from modernisation but despite the increase of modern shop fronts and contemporary architecture languages, traces of the past are still highly visible and significant. Historical buildings, old streets paving and even old town drainages are retained. Therefore, the possibilities of the experiencing old city charm of Munich today.

'''The Hofgarten (Court Garden)'''

An Italian renaissance Garden in the centre of Munich, Germany. It is located between the Residenz and Englisher Garten (English Garden).
Within the garden are series of pathways, organized in a formal manner, creating a symmetrical layout. Positioned in the middle of the garden is a pavilion, dedicated to the goddess Diana. Further suggesting its importance, eight paths were directed towards the pavilion, forming a focal point in the landscape.

Created by the symmetrical walkways, voids in between the paths were carpeted with lawns. These lawns provide recreational spaces for socialization and relaxation.

While in the Hofgarten, one can experience the unique spatial experience of being in a formal garden enclosed by significant buildings and monuments. It is thus, also a quiet getaway from the busy city streets.

Image:DSC01808.JPG‎|Castle park
Image:DSC01787.JPG‎|"Aue" between Castle wall and river
</gallery>

=== Description ===
Schloss Phillipsruhe (Phillipsruhe Castle) in Hanau, Germany was built by the Count Phillip Reinhard and its construction began in 1701. Located in Kesselstadt, to the west of the city of Hanau, it is on the bank of the river Main. The castle serves as a museum in its main building since 1967, showcasing different aspects of local history.It's garden is also host to seasonal horticulture shows and cultural shows including the Brother Grimm Fairytale festival are experienced in the amphitheatre in the castle park.(1)

The Phillipsruher Allee (Phillipsruhe Avenue), which runs along the river, has the castle as its focal point. This major axis continues in the castle garden, signifying the importance of the castle which is placed centrally on its large and flat ground. This geometry of the road and the garden is influenced by the presence of Schloss Phillipsruhe.

The high wall running along the boundary of the castle grounds confines its landscape within the boundary, with no connections to the river which flows to the right of the castle. The man made water body behind the castle with no association with the river illustrates on the attempt which was made to glorify monarchy and the monarch’s dominating and manipulating character to show his authority, wealth and power over nature.

Since Hanau required more recognized recreation places in the city, the ‘’Aue’’ (floodplain and natural form of vegetation along streams and rivers) of Main serves for sports, children’s park and other outdoor activities. Although this Aue includes in its area the land between the castle wall and the river, and these places are physically connected, they are visually not connected. This area with this new use: new needs of recreation for the city’s people, contrasts with the old and authoritative representation that the castle projects.

The different pictures show three different aspects of the castle, but all of them are connected by the importance that it and its owner had projected. The castle is strategically placed both in terms of waterways and roads; as a direct focal point of the road or as a powerful image seen from the river. On the other hand, the landscape garden along with the water body in the castle grounds was created for a more private use of the owner, for him to appreciate his own grandiosity and acquirements.

=== Description ===
As an answer to our first assignment, ''''Pictures of your Landscapes'''', I was mainly focusing on '''social aspect''' of Munich landscape.
These pictures represent my view of what is unique and special about the way Munich residents spend their '''free time'''. In a way they also speak about people's '''passion''', '''their habits''' and '''lifestyle'''.

Even though Munich residents, in other parts of Germany were known for their very conservative and religious lifestyle, now it seams different. As far as I could notice their free time is more oriented towards, drinking bear, having fun, doing sport and spending a lot of time in nature.

In each one of these photos you can see connection between people, nature, sport, and beer.

*First picture represents people’s devotion to '''nature'''; it is about people’s '''lifestyle'''.
Nature is a part of everyday life here in Munich. There are many parks and gardens such as: Olympiapark, Westpark, and the parks of Nymphenburg Palace. In Hirschgarten for instance, besides having fun in healthy green environment you can actually see free deer that live there, even though the garden is considered to be in urban environment. English Garden is one thing that makes Munich such a pleasant city to live in. During the summer you will see students from the adjacent university studying here. Other people play football, Frisbee, horse riding, play cricket and surfing on the Eisbach river! Particularly notorious activity is sunbathing in the nude. In the area in and around the horse track (near University) it is permitted to strip off naked. In Germany this is called FKK (Frei Körper Kulture = Free Body Culture).

The Munich English Garden is a huge park which stretches alongside the river Isar from almost the very center to the northernmost rim of the city. English Garden was created in 1789 by the British physicist Sir Benjamin Thompson, the count of Rumford. Park covers 3.73 square kilometers which makes it the largest city park in Europe and larger than New York's Central Park (3.4 square kilometers).
[http://www.toytowngermany.com/wiki/English_Garden]

*Second picture represents people’s '''passionate''' relations to '''sport'''.
The most popular sport in Munich is football for sure. Two of the world largest stadiums are located in Munich (Munich Olympiastadion and Allianz Arena) and together can host more then 135.500 spectators. Allianz Arena hosts Bayern München football team; their fans are known to be very passionate and cheering. But on the picture you can see surfers. They surf on Eisbach river that floats thru Englisher Garten. Even though when I think of surfing the first thing that pops into my mind are Hawaii or similar exotic islands, these enthusiastic young people proved me wrong. Considering the fact that middle European climate is not always very supportive to this kind of activity, I was quite impressed by their skill and passion, so I had to present them instead of football fans.

*Third picture represents '''ordinary common people''' in a beer garden who drink bear, have fun, talking to each other, chatting and telling jokes.
Beer garden is an open-air area where beer, other drinks and local food are served. It is usually attached to a drinking establishment such as a public house or a beer hall, which in places such as Munich may serve large numbers of customers. The biggest beer garden is in Hirschgarten it can serve up to 8,000 people.

As one of the most frequently visited attractions in Munich, the Chinese tower is a popular social gathering space, both for the locals as well as foreigners. Together they drink; chat, sing and dance, under the Chinese tower in the English garden of Munich, Germany.
To find such a Chinese pagoda in such context is ironic, but nevertheless, it provides the vast park with a distinctive landmark. Which otherwise would be a real challenge for the visitors to find their ways or even to set a place for meeting.

Also the language of the Tower narrates the possibilities that cultural influence of the Chinese once swept across this land. Creating immense fascination that inspired Architects to construct a 25 meter high tower in the middle of a European city.

Although the Chinese architecture physically dominates the space, the local culture remains as the soul of the place. In other words, the actual atmosphere is still formed and shaped by the Bavarian living habits and lifestyle.

'''Marienplatz(Munich City Centre)'''

Known as the city centre of Munich, it served as an important public square to the city since 1158, hosting various important social events. (http://www.aviewoncities.com/munich/marienplatz.htm)

Today the square is dominated by the gothic style architecture of the new townhall, built in 1867 - 1909, it was the solution to the overcrowded old townhall back then. (http://www.aviewoncities.com/munich/marienplatz.htm)

Inhabited by shops, traditional restaurants, souvenir kiosks and the fact that it is the old city square, Marienplatz earned itself the title as a ‘must visit place’ in numerous travel guides . However, these are the only reasons which explain the thousands of people visiting daily.

Well connected to more than 3 busy subway stations, all within comfortable walking distances. Like our vital body system, they depict the arteries to the heart, making circulations through the square natural.

Besides that, varieties of businesses and activities flood into the square, resulting in a lively and vivid atmosphere, which is able to attract and retain the crowd. These also act as a relief to the network of busy streets, creating a pause to the dynamism.

One clear example of the effect can be seen daily during the 1100, 1200, and 1700 hours. At this time of the day, figurines within the famous Glockenspiel perform 2 traditional stories dated back in the 16th century, entertaining the hundred of audiences in front of the gothic facade for a whole quarter of an hour. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rathaus-Glockenspiel)

Marienplatz was of course not spare from modernisation but despite the increase of modern shop fronts and contemporary architecture languages, traces of the past are still highly visible and significant. Historical buildings, old streets paving and even old town drainages are retained. Therefore, the possibilities of the experiencing old city charm of Munich today.

'''The Hofgarten (Court Garden)'''

An Italian renaissance Garden in the centre of Munich, Germany. It is located between the Residenz and Englisher Garten (English Garden).
Within the garden are series of pathways, organized in a formal manner, creating a symmetrical layout. Positioned in the middle of the garden is a pavilion, dedicated to the goddess Diana. Further suggesting its importance, eight paths were directed towards the pavilion, forming a focal point in the landscape.

Created by the symmetrical walkways, voids in between the paths were carpeted with lawns. These lawns provide recreational spaces for socialization and relaxation.

While in the Hofgarten, one can experience the unique spatial experience of being in a formal garden enclosed by significant buildings and monuments. It is thus, also a quiet getaway from the busy city streets.

=== Description ===
Schloss Phillipsruhe (Phillipsruhe Castle) in Hanau, Germany was built by the Count Phillip Reinhard and its construction began in 1701. Located in Kesselstadt, to the west of the city of Hanau, it is on the bank of the river Main. The castle serves as a museum in its main building since 1967, showcasing different aspects of local history.It's garden is also host to seasonal horticulture shows and cultural shows including the Brother Grimm Fairytale festival are experienced in the amphitheatre in the castle park.(1)

The Phillipsruher Allee (Phillipsruhe Avenue), which runs along the river, has the castle as its focal point. This major axis continues in the castle garden, signifying the importance of the castle which is placed centrally on its large and flat ground. This geometry of the road and the garden is influenced by the presence of Schloss Phillipsruhe.

The high wall running along the boundary of the castle grounds confines its landscape within the boundary, with no connections to the river which flows to the right of the castle. The man made water body behind the castle with no association with the river illustrates on the attempt which was made to glorify monarchy and the monarch’s dominating and manipulating character to show his authority, wealth and power over nature.

Since Hanau required more recognized recreation places in the city, the ‘’Aue’’ (floodplain and natural form of vegetation along streams and rivers) of Main serves for sports, children’s park and other outdoor activities. Although this Aue includes in its area the land between the castle wall and the river, and these places are physically connected, they are visually not connected. This area with this new use: new needs of recreation for the city’s people, contrasts with the old and authoritative representation that the castle projects.

The different pictures show three different aspects of the castle, but all of them are connected by the importance that it and its owner had projected. The castle is strategically placed both in terms of waterways and roads; as a direct focal point of the road or as a powerful image seen from the river. On the other hand, the landscape garden along with the water body in the castle grounds was created for a more private use of the owner, for him to appreciate his own grandiosity and acquirements.

=== Description ===
As an answer to our first assignment, ''''Pictures of your Landscapes'''', I was mainly focusing on '''social aspect''' of Munich landscape.
These pictures represent my view of what is unique and special about the way Munich residents spend their '''free time'''. In a way they also speak about people's '''passion''', '''their habits''' and '''lifestyle'''.

Even though Munich residents, in other parts of Germany were known for their very conservative and religious lifestyle, now it seams different. As far as I could notice their free time is more oriented towards, drinking bear, having fun, doing sport and spending a lot of time in nature.

In each one of these photos you can see connection between people, nature, sport, and beer.

*First picture represents people’s devotion to '''nature'''; it is about people’s '''lifestyle'''.
Nature is a part of everyday life here in Munich. There are many parks and gardens such as: Olympiapark, Westpark, and the parks of Nymphenburg Palace. In Hirschgarten for instance, besides having fun in healthy green environment you can actually see free deer that live there, even though the garden is considered to be in urban environment. English Garden is one thing that makes Munich such a pleasant city to live in. During the summer you will see students from the adjacent university studying here. Other people play football, Frisbee, horse riding, play cricket and surfing on the Eisbach river! Particularly notorious activity is sunbathing in the nude. In the area in and around the horse track (near University) it is permitted to strip off naked. In Germany this is called FKK (Frei Körper Kulture = Free Body Culture).

The Munich English Garden is a huge park which stretches alongside the river Isar from almost the very center to the northernmost rim of the city. English Garden was created in 1789 by the British physicist Sir Benjamin Thompson, the count of Rumford. Park covers 3.73 square kilometers which makes it the largest city park in Europe and larger than New York's Central Park (3.4 square kilometers).
[http://www.toytowngermany.com/wiki/English_Garden]

*Second picture represents people’s '''passionate''' relations to '''sport'''.
The most popular sport in Munich is football for sure. Two of the world largest stadiums are located in Munich (Munich Olympiastadion and Allianz Arena) and together can host more then 135.500 spectators. Allianz Arena hosts Bayern München football team; their fans are known to be very passionate and cheering. But on the picture you can see surfers. They surf on Eisbach river that floats thru Englisher Garten. Even though when I think of surfing the first thing that pops into my mind are Hawaii or similar exotic islands, these enthusiastic young people proved me wrong. Considering the fact that middle European climate is not always very supportive to this kind of activity, I was quite impressed by their skill and passion, so I had to present them instead of football fans.

*Third picture represents '''ordinary common people''' in a beer garden who drink bear, have fun, talking to each other, chatting and telling jokes.
Beer garden is an open-air area where beer, other drinks and local food are served. It is usually attached to a drinking establishment such as a public house or a beer hall, which in places such as Munich may serve large numbers of customers. The biggest beer garden is in Hirschgarten it can serve up to 8,000 people.

'''Chinesischer Turm (Chinese Tower)'''

Located in the heart of the English Garden (Englischer Garten ), Munich, the Chinese tower was built in 1789-1790, as a performance platform. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Englischer_Garten)

Till today, the Chinese tower still entertained its visitors and guests with traditional music from the brass band and beers from one of the earliest brewery in the region. Housing a spectacular seating space of more than 7000 people, it is set to create an all year round Oktoberfest atmosphere.

Located in the heart of the English Garden (Englischer Garten ), Munich, the Chinese tower was built in 1789-1790, as a performance platform. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Englischer_Garten)

Till today, the Chinese tower still entertained its visitors and guests with traditional music from the brass band and beers from one of the earliest brewery in the region. Housing a spectacular seating space of more than 7000 people, it is set to create an all year round Oktoberfest atmosphere. (http://www.cityscouter.com/travelguides/munich/Chinese-Tower-Chinesischer-Turm.html)

As one of the most frequently visited attractions in Munich, the Chinese tower is a popular social gathering space, both for the locals as well as foreigners. Together they drink; chat, sing and dance, under the Chinese tower in the English garden of Munich, Germany.
To find such a Chinese pagoda in such context is ironic, but nevertheless, it provides the vast park with a distinctive landmark. Which otherwise would be a real challenge for the visitors to find their ways or even to set a place for meeting.

Also the language of the Tower narrates the possibilities that cultural influence of the Chinese once swept across this land. Creating immense fascination that inspired Architects to construct a 25 meter high tower in the middle of a European city.

Although the Chinese architecture physically dominates the space, the local culture remains as the soul of the place. In other words, the actual atmosphere is still formed and shaped by the Bavarian living habits and lifestyle.

'''Marienplatz(Munich City Centre)'''

Known as the city centre of Munich, it served as an important public square to the city since 1158, hosting various important social events. (http://www.aviewoncities.com/munich/marienplatz.htm)

Today the square is dominated by the gothic style architecture of the new townhall, built in 1867 - 1909, it was the solution to the overcrowded old townhall back then. (http://www.aviewoncities.com/munich/marienplatz.htm)

Inhabited by shops, traditional restaurants, souvenir kiosks and the fact that it is the old city square, Marienplatz earned itself the title as a ‘must visit place’ in numerous travel guides . However, these are the only reasons which explain the thousands of people visiting daily.

Well connected to more than 3 busy subway stations, all within comfortable walking distances. Like our vital body system, they depict the arteries to the heart, making circulations through the square natural.

Besides that, varieties of businesses and activities flood into the square, resulting in a lively and vivid atmosphere, which is able to attract and retain the crowd. These also act as a relief to the network of busy streets, creating a pause to the dynamism.

One clear example of the effect can be seen daily during the 1100, 1200, and 1700 hours. At this time of the day, figurines within the famous Glockenspiel perform 2 traditional stories dated back in the 16th century, entertaining the hundred of audiences in front of the gothic facade for a whole quarter of an hour. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rathaus-Glockenspiel)

Marienplatz was of course not spare from modernisation but despite the increase of modern shop fronts and contemporary architecture languages, traces of the past are still highly visible and significant. Historical buildings, old streets paving and even old town drainages are retained. Therefore, the possibilities of the experiencing old city charm of Munich today.

'''The Hofgarten (Court Garden)'''

An Italian renaissance Garden in the centre of Munich, Germany. It is located between the Residenz and Englisher Garten (English Garden).
Within the garden are series of pathways, organized in a formal manner, creating a symmetrical layout. Positioned in the middle of the garden is a pavilion, dedicated to the goddess Diana. Further suggesting its importance, eight paths were directed towards the pavilion, forming a focal point in the landscape.

Created by the symmetrical walkways, voids in between the paths were carpeted with lawns. These lawns provide recreational spaces for socialization and relaxation.

While in the Hofgarten, one can experience the unique spatial experience of being in a formal garden enclosed by significant buildings and monuments. It is thus, also a quiet getaway from the busy city streets.

=== Description ===
Schloss Phillipsruhe (Phillipsruhe Castle) in Hanau, Germany was built by the Count Phillip Reinhard and its construction began in 1701. Located in Kesselstadt, to the west of the city of Hanau, it is on the bank of the river Main. The castle serves as a museum in its main building since 1967, showcasing different aspects of local history.It's garden is also host to seasonal horticulture shows and cultural shows including the Brother Grimm Fairytale festival are experienced in the amphitheatre in the castle park.(1)

The Phillipsruher Allee (Phillipsruhe Avenue), which runs along the river, has the castle as its focal point. This major axis continues in the castle garden, signifying the importance of the castle which is placed centrally on its large and flat ground. This geometry of the road and the garden is influenced by the presence of Schloss Phillipsruhe.

The high wall running along the boundary of the castle grounds confines its landscape within the boundary, with no connections to the river which flows to the right of the castle. The man made water body behind the castle with no association with the river illustrates on the attempt which was made to glorify monarchy and the monarch’s dominating and manipulating character to show his authority, wealth and power over nature.

Since Hanau required more recognized recreation places in the city, the ‘’Aue’’ (floodplain and natural form of vegetation along streams and rivers) of Main serves for sports, children’s park and other outdoor activities. Although this Aue includes in its area the land between the castle wall and the river, and these places are physically connected, they are visually not connected. This area with this new use: new needs of recreation for the city’s people, contrasts with the old and authoritative representation that the castle projects.

The different pictures show three different aspects of the castle, but all of them are connected by the importance that it and its owner had projected. The castle is strategically placed both in terms of waterways and roads; as a direct focal point of the road or as a powerful image seen from the river. On the other hand, the landscape garden along with the water body in the castle grounds was created for a more private use of the owner, for him to appreciate his own grandiosity and acquirements.

=== Description ===
As an answer to our first assignment, ''''Pictures of your Landscapes'''', I was mainly focusing on '''social aspect''' of Munich landscape.
These pictures represent my view of what is unique and special about the way Munich residents spend their '''free time'''. In a way they also speak about people's '''passion''', '''their habits''' and '''lifestyle'''.

Even though Munich residents, in other parts of Germany were known for their very conservative and religious lifestyle, now it seams different. As far as I could notice their free time is more oriented towards, drinking bear, having fun, doing sport and spending a lot of time in nature.

In each one of these photos you can see connection between people, nature, sport, and beer.

*First picture represents people’s devotion to '''nature'''; it is about people’s '''lifestyle'''.
Nature is a part of everyday life here in Munich. There are many parks and gardens such as: Olympiapark, Westpark, and the parks of Nymphenburg Palace. In Hirschgarten for instance, besides having fun in healthy green environment you can actually see free deer that live there, even though the garden is considered to be in urban environment. English Garden is one thing that makes Munich such a pleasant city to live in. During the summer you will see students from the adjacent university studying here. Other people play football, Frisbee, horse riding, play cricket and surfing on the Eisbach river! Particularly notorious activity is sunbathing in the nude. In the area in and around the horse track (near University) it is permitted to strip off naked. In Germany this is called FKK (Frei Körper Kulture = Free Body Culture).

The Munich English Garden is a huge park which stretches alongside the river Isar from almost the very center to the northernmost rim of the city. English Garden was created in 1789 by the British physicist Sir Benjamin Thompson, the count of Rumford. Park covers 3.73 square kilometers which makes it the largest city park in Europe and larger than New York's Central Park (3.4 square kilometers).

*Second picture represents people’s '''passionate''' relations to '''sport'''.
The most popular sport in Munich is football for sure. Two of the world largest stadiums are located in Munich (Munich Olympiastadion and Allianz Arena) and together can host more then 135.500 spectators. Allianz Arena hosts Bayern München football team; their fans are known to be very passionate and cheering. But on the picture you can see surfers. They surf on Eisbach river that floats thru Englisher Garten. Even though when I think of surfing the first thing that pops into my mind are Hawaii or similar exotic islands, these enthusiastic young people proved me wrong. Considering the fact that middle European climate is not always very supportive to this kind of activity, I was quite impressed by their skill and passion, so I had to present them instead of football fans.

*Third picture represents '''ordinary common people''' in a beer garden who drink bear, have fun, talking to each other, chatting and telling jokes.
Beer garden is an open-air area where beer, other drinks and local food are served. It is usually attached to a drinking establishment such as a public house or a beer hall, which in places such as Munich may serve large numbers of customers. The biggest beer garden is in Hirschgarten it can serve up to 8,000 people.
