== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==

The site we have selected as a collaborative assignment is the Prahova River Valley, with a considerable smaller region. Mainly the active site for analysis is in direct contact with the Breaza city center. Breaza City segment that we chose was modified a few years earlier due to the landslide. The land aspect has been dramatically changed as well as the vegetation and the woodland. Therefore the aesthetic and functional aspect of this valley will change drastically.

The site is located on the SubCarpethian Area, at a height of 380m-450m that includes Prahova's riverbed. The climate is temperate-continental specific to hilly areas. Also one Important charasteristic of the valley is the quallity of the air due to the ozone and negative ions which makes the air have an therapeutic effect. Furthermore the area has a noticeble bioclamate characterised by the low values of atmopheric pressure due to the air purity. On the other side the geographic position allows the area to have a rich vegetation, especially due to decidous forrests. About the native plants we can mention: ''Populus alba, Betula pendula, Sambucus nigra, Rosa canina, Fraxinus excelsior''. Finally, the surroundings of the site there are formed by 1400 ha of orchards covered with fruited plants, 1500 ha of forrest and 1800 ha of pastures and hayfields. We can say the the site has high quality characteristics that makes it a very interesting site for landscaping.

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

The main objectives of our design are four in total. First one reffers to reclaiming the lost land in the landslide or in the urban transformation of the riverbed, either be woodland or just ground terrain. The second objective is to create a strong physical connection between the center of the city and the new reclaimed land. The third objective is to integrate the new urban developments, for example the hydroplant situated at the base of our site, on the riverbed, into the new design of the valley improving their aethetical and functional values. The fourth and final objective is to minimize the negative impact of the urban development and trying to design the river beams to give them the natural aspect the valley once had.

== Analytical drawings ==

We analyze the site in two aspects:

First, we considered the relationship between the site and people. We realized that the connectivity between the valley and the city is weak, both visually and functionally. And we noticed that there are many good viewpoints on our site but they are undervalued and badly utilized.

Second, on the pure natural aspect, we analyzed the drainage and vegetation of the site.

According to the distribution of plants, we drew the picture of watersheds and runoff. It helps to determine the location of infiltration trenches in our collaborative design.

As to the vegetation, we realized that plants on the slight slope act well as buffer strips. However the riverbed is bare because of the development recently. This is what we should solve in the design later.

Further on, we recognized the vegetation type on the site and divided the site into several zones according to this. We also drew a typical section of the site to show the vegetation dynamic along with the division.

At last we selected some typical species on our site, including trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants. They are native or adaptive to the site and will be used in the planting design later.

== Design Synthesis ==

This project has a specific starting point: the modification of the landcover caused by the construction of several building, included in a wider hydraulic work.

This work caused the deforestation of land cover and we realized that this was a chance to create a new connection with river Prahova.

At first, we thought of combining two strategies:

- Create a network of pathways, rest areas and viewpoints.

- Restore the natural cover.

We are concerned about two issues(mainly risks):

- The risk of landslides in areas where vegetation had disappeared.

- River dynamics of the Prahova. We should be very cautious about actions that may occur in the riverbed.

Finally, the decisions that we assumed in the master plan were:

1– To Build a network of paths and rest areas connected by trails and steps.

2– To connect the banks with a pedestrian bridge.

3– To solve the drainage by infiltration trenches.

4– To restore the plant cover.

5– To create new planting areas to connect the platforms.

Regarding to the planting, basically we worked with the species from the vegetation class, considering three layers: trees (like ''Betula pendula, Fagus sylvatica or Quercus robur''), srhubs (like ''Crataegus monogyna, Euonymus latifolius, Prunus tenella or Rosa canina'') and herbaceous (like ''Festuca sulcata, Fragaria viridis, Stipa capillata or Paeonia peregrina'').

In each intervention or strategy (that concerns to the planting) predominates one, two or three of them:

- The three layers for restoring the vegetation cover.

- Trees and srhubs for path and steps.

- Srhubs and herbaceous to stabilize the riparian slope.

- Herbaceous for active area of aluvian plain.

- Srhubs and herbaceosus for the new planting areas to connect the platforms. In addition to the species of vegetation class, only in this case, non-native species are introduced. These species are well adapted and have a great ornamental value (some of them, ''Centaurea cyanus, Liatris spicata, Koeleria glauca, Silene vulgaris or Penstemon barbatus'').

Concluding, we consider this work like an approach, a starting point, where the planting design is a tool to connect the projective work with nature.

== Summary of the collaborative process ==

In our case, the colaborative design process was a very interesting one with, hopefully fulfilling result. In the making of the design the water control and vegetation planting were the ideas that gave the site a sustenable design. The proposal potential was of an integrated sustenable design thanks to the influence of the different landcscape designs: spanish, chinese and romaininan. We took into consideration posible floods, possible landslide, and the posibility of the construction development in the aluvian plain. Speaking different languages is a problem everywhere, but in our case we managed to surpass that problem right from the beggining. A succesful design is only by colaborating with other professionals and get new ways of viewing the problem. By collaborating with different people with different culture and background not only we get more experince on working as a team, but new informations about how planting design is viewed and used in other countries.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==

The site we have selected as a collaborative assignment is the Prahova River Valley, with a considerable smaller region. Mainly the active site for analysis is in direct contact with the Breaza city center. Breaza City segment that we chose was modified a few years earlier due to the landslide. The land aspect has been dramatically changed as well as the vegetation and the woodland. Therefore the aesthetic and functional aspect of this valley will change drastically.

The site is located on the SubCarpethian Area, at a height of 380m-450m that includes Prahova's riverbed. The climate is temperate-continental specific to hilly areas. Also one Important charasteristic of the valley is the quallity of the air due to the ozone and negative ions which makes the air have an therapeutic effect. Furthermore the area has a noticeble bioclamate characterised by the low values of atmopheric pressure due to the air purity. On the other side the geographic position allows the area to have a rich vegetation, especially due to decidous forrests. About the native plants we can mention: ''Populus alba, Betula pendula, Sambucus nigra, Rosa canina, Fraxinus excelsior''. Finally, the surroundings of the site there are formed by 1400 ha of orchards covered with fruited plants, 1500 ha of forrest and 1800 ha of pastures and hayfields. We can say the the site has high quality characteristics that makes it a very interesting site for landscaping.

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

The main objectives of our design are four in total. First one reffers to reclaiming the lost land in the landslide or in the urban transformation of the riverbed, either be woodland or just ground terrain. The second objective is to create a strong physical connection between the center of the city and the new reclaimed land. The third objective is to integrate the new urban developments, for example the hydroplant situated at the base of our site, on the riverbed, into the new design of the valley improving their aethetical and functional values. The fourth and final objective is to minimize the negative impact of the urban development and trying to design the river beams to give them the natural aspect the valley once had.

== 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.''

This project has a specific starting point: the modification of the landcover caused by the construction of several building, included in a wider hydraulic work.

This work caused the deforestation of land cover and we realized that this was a chance to create a new connection with river Prahova.

At first, we thought of combining two strategies:

- Create a network of pathways, rest areas and viewpoints.
- Restore the natural cover.

We are concerned about two issues(mainly risks):

- The risk of landslides in areas where vegetation had disappeared.
- River dynamics of the Prahova. We should be very cautious about actions that may occur in the riverbed.

Finally, the decisions that we assumed in the master plan were:

1– To Build a network of paths and rest areas connected by trails and steps.
2– To connect the banks with a pedestrian bridge.
3– To solve the drainage by infiltration trenches.
4– To restore the plant cover.
5– To create new planting areas to connect the platforms.

Regarding to the planting, basically we worked with the species from the vegetation class, considering three layers: trees (like ''Betula pendula, Fagus sylvatica or Quercus robur''), srhubs (like ''Crataegus monogyna, Euonymus latifolius, Prunus tenella or Rosa canina'') and herbaceous (like ''Festuca sulcata, Fragaria viridis, Stipa capillata or Paeonia peregrina'').

In each intervention or strategy (that concerns to the planting) predominates one, two or three of them:

- The three layers for restoring the vegetation cover.
- Trees and srhubs for path and steps.
- Srhubs and herbaceous to stabilize the riparian slope.
- Herbaceous for active area of aluvian plain.
- Srhubs and herbaceosus for the new planting areas to connect the platforms. In addition to the species of vegetation class, only in this case, non-native species are introduced. These species are well adapted and have a great ornamental value (some of them, ''Centaurea cyanus, Liatris spicata, Koeleria glauca, Silene vulgaris or Penstemon barbatus'').

Concluding, we consider this work like an approach, a starting point, where the planting design is a tool to connect the projective work with nature.

== Summary of the collaborative process ==

In our case, the colaborative design process was a very interesting one with, hopefully fulfilling result. In the making of the design the water control and vegetation planting were the ideas that gave the site a sustenable design. The proposal potential was of an integrated sustenable design thanks to the influence of the different landcscape designs: spanish, chinese and romaininan. We took into consideration posible floods, possible landslide, and the posibility of the construction development in the aluvian plain. Speaking different languages is a problem everywhere, but in our case we managed to surpass that problem right from the beggining. A succesful design is only by colaborating with other professionals and get new ways of viewing the problem. By collaborating with different people with different culture and background not only we get more experince on working as a team, but new informations about how planting design is viewed and used in other countries.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==

The site we have selected as a collaborative assignment is the Prahova River Valley, with a considerable smaller region. Mainly the active site for analysis is in direct contact with the Breaza city center. Breaza City segment that we chose was modified a few years earlier due to the landslide. The land aspect has been dramatically changed as well as the vegetation and the woodland. Therefore the aesthetic and functional aspect of this valley will change drastically.

The site is located on the SubCarpethian Area, at a height of 380m-450m that includes Prahova's riverbed. The climate is temperate-continental specific to hilly areas. Also one Important charasteristic of the valley is the quallity of the air due to the ozone and negative ions which makes the air have an therapeutic effect. Furthermore the area has a noticeble bioclamate characterised by the low values of atmopheric pressure due to the air purity. On the other side the geographic position allows the area to have a rich vegetation, especially due to decidous forrests. About the native plants we can mention: ''Populus alba, Betula pendula, Sambucus nigra, Rosa canina, Fraxinus excelsior''. Finally, the surroundings of the site there are formed by 1400 ha of orchards covered with fruited plants, 1500 ha of forrest and 1800 ha of pastures and hayfields. We can say the the site has high quality characteristics that makes it a very interesting site for landscaping.

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

The main objectives of our design are four in total. First one reffers to reclaiming the lost land in the landslide or in the urban transformation of the riverbed, either be woodland or just ground terrain. The second objective is to create a strong physical connection between the center of the city and the new reclaimed land. The third objective is to integrate the new urban developments, for example the hydroplant situated at the base of our site, on the riverbed, into the new design of the valley improving their aethetical and functional values. The fourth and final objective is to minimize the negative impact of the urban development and trying to design the river beams to give them the natural aspect the valley once had.

In our case, the colaborative design process was a very interesting one with, hopefully fulfilling result. In the making of the design the water control and vegetation planting were the ideas that gave the site a sustenable design. The proposal potential was of an integrated sustenable design thanks to the influence of the different landcscape designs: spanish, chinese and romaininan. We took into consideration posible floods, possible landslide, and the posibility of the construction development in the aluvian plain. Speaking different languages is a problem everywhere, but in our case we managed to surpass that problem right from the beggining. A succesful design is only by colaborating with other professionals and get new ways of viewing the problem.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==

The site we have selected as a collaborative assignment is the Prahova River Valley, with a considerable smaller region. Mainly the active site for analysis is in direct contact with the Breaza city center. Breaza City segment that we chose was modified a few years earlier due to the landslide. The land aspect has been dramatically changed as well as the vegetation and the woodland. Therefore the aesthetic and functional aspect of this valley will change drastically.

The site is located on the SubCarpethian Area, at a height of 380m-450m that includes Prahova's riverbed. The climate is temperate-continental specific to hilly areas. Also one Important charasteristic of the valley is the quallity of the air due to the ozone and negative ions which makes the air have an therapeutic effect. Furthermore the area has a noticeble bioclamate characterised by the low values of atmopheric pressure due to the air purity. On the other side the geographic position allows the area to have a rich vegetation, especially due to decidous forrests. About the native plants we can mention: ''Populus alba, Betula pendula, Sambucus nigra, Rosa canina, Fraxinus excelsior''. Finally, the surroundings of the site there are formed by 1400 ha of orchards covered with fruited plants, 1500 ha of forrest and 1800 ha of pastures and hayfields. We can say the the site has high quality characteristics that makes it a very interesting site for landscaping.

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

The main objectives of our design are four in total. First one reffers to reclaiming the lost land in the landslide or in the urban transformation of the riverbed, either be woodland or just ground terrain. The second objective is to create a strong physical connection between the center of the city and the new reclaimed land. The third objective is to integrate the new urban developments, for example the hydroplant situated at the base of our site, on the riverbed, into the new design of the valley improving their aethetical and functional values. The fourth and final objective is to minimize the negative impact of the urban development and trying to design the river beams to give them the natural aspect the valley once had.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==

The site we have selected as a collaborative assignment is the Prahova River Valley, with a considerable smaller region. Mainly the active site for analysis is in direct contact with the Breaza city center. Breaza City segment that we chose was modified a few years earlier due to the landslide. The land aspect has been dramatically changed as well as the vegetation and the woodland. Therefore the aesthetic and functional aspect of this valley will change drastically.

The site is located on the SubCarpethian Area, at a height of 380m-450m that includes Prahova's riverbed. The climate is temperate-continental specific to hilly areas. Also one Important charasteristic of the valley is the quallity of the air due to the ozone and negative ions which makes the air have an therapeutic effect. Furthermore the area has a noticeble bioclamate characterised by the low values of atmopheric pressure due to the air purity. On the other side the geographic position allows the area to have a rich vegetation, especially due to decidous forrests. About the native plants we can mention: ''Populus alba, Betula pendula, Sambucus nigra, Rosa canina, Fraxinus excelsior''. Finally, the surroundings of the site there are formed by 1400 ha of orchards covered with fruited plants, 1500 ha of forrest and 1800 ha of pastures and hayfields. We can say the the site has high quality characteristics that makes it a very interesting site for landscaping.

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

The main objectives of our design are four in total. First one reffers to reclaiming the lost land in the landslide or in the urban transformation of the riverbed, either be woodland or just ground terrain. The second objective is to create a strong physical connection between the center of the city and the new reclaimed land. The third objective is to integrate the new urban developments, for example the hydroplant situated at the base of our site, on the riverbed, into the new design of the valley improving their aethetical and functional values. The fourth and final objective is to minimize the negative impact of the urban development and trying to design the river beams to give them the natural aspect the valley once had.

== 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).

== 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).''

In our case, the colaborative design process was a very interesting one with, hopefully fulfilling result. In the making of the design the water control and vegetation planting were the ideas that gave the site a sustenable design. The proposal potential was of an integrated sustenable design thanks to the influence of the different landcscape designs: spanish, chinese and romaininan. We took into consideration posible floods, possible landslide, and the posibility of the construction development in the aluvian plain. Speaking different languages is a problem everywhere, but in our case we managed to surpass that problem right from the beggining. A succesful design is only by colaborating with other professionals and get new ways of viewing the problem. By collaborating with different people with different culture and background not only we get more experince on working as a team, but new informations about how planting design is viewed and used in other countries.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==

The site we have selected as a collaborative assignment is the Prahova River Valley, with a considerable smaller region. Mainly the active site for analysis is in direct contact with the Breaza city center. Breaza City segment that we chose was modified a few years earlier due to the landslide. The land aspect has been dramatically changed as well as the vegetation and the woodland. Therefore the aesthetic and functional aspect of this valley will change drastically.

The site is located on the SubCarpethian Area, at a height of 380m-450m that includes Prahova's riverbed. The climate is temperate-continental specific to hilly areas. Also one Important charasteristic of the valley is the quallity of the air due to the ozone and negative ions which makes the air have an therapeutic effect. Furthermore the area has a noticeble bioclamate characterised by the low values of atmopheric pressure due to the air purity. On the other side the geographic position allows the area to have a rich vegetation, especially due to decidous forrests. About the native plants we can mention: ''Populus alba, Betula pendula, Sambucus nigra, Rosa canina, Fraxinus excelsior''. Finally, the surroundings of the site there are formed by 1400 ha of orchards covered with fruited plants, 1500 ha of forrest and 1800 ha of pastures and hayfields. We can say the the site has high quality characteristics that makes it a very interesting site for landscaping.

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

The main objectives of our design are four in total. First one reffers to reclaiming the lost land in the landslide or in the urban transformation of the riverbed, either be woodland or just ground terrain. The second objective is to create a strong physical connection between the center of the city and the new reclaimed land. The third objective is to integrate the new urban developments, for example the hydroplant situated at the base of our site, on the riverbed, into the new design of the valley improving their aethetical and functional values. The fourth and final objective is to minimize the negative impact of the urban development and trying to design the river beams to give them the natural aspect the valley once had.
