== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
*''Urban context-Dynamics
Constructed under the communist regime to prevent floodings in Bucharest, Morii Lake and the island were built over a cemetery and a church. The project had a huge impact on the area’s landscape due to demolitions and displacements of buildings and agricultural terrains left with no use, cutting down crop layers, meadows, rows of trees, isolated tress and shrubs. These actions lead to the loss of specific elements that characterize the specific landscape.
Located at the periphery of Bucharest the lake and island are somewhat hidden from the city and this lead to a complete neglect from the authorities. The area is like a puzzle composed of improvised establishments by Romani people, new residential assemblies, industrial and commercial units, abandoned arable land and green areas used as dumping places in the close proximity of the lake.

*''Overall character-Short analysis
Built in 1986 on an area of 4.2 ha, the Morii Lake Island was designed as a place of nature for the community. The design consisted of a high percentage of vegetation, with a “green belt” of Salix alba around the island’s limits and a “green core” of various Rosa species. One of the major goals in creating this area was to have diverse activities in a natural environment and for this were built two marinas, a gazebo and a flower-shaped fountain.

A short analysis of the island in present time shows several major problems regarding functional, natural and aesthetic elements: abandoned marina, vegetation in a state of degradation, broken pavement, no light system, sanitary waste, invasive vegetation so overall a complete lack of maintenance. The area is considered highly insecure and the only activity remaining is that of occasional fishing.

Inspite its’ degradation, the island remains an attraction for the people living in the neighborhood and the potential of becoming an important landmark, being the only island in Bucharest.

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

''The objective of our design is an integrated approach on both social and cultural aspects with the main goal of adding value to the historical and environmental elements of the island. Emphasizing the natural and historical potential of the site is a key factor for a sustainable development. To achieve this goal we will propose the follow development measures :

- Develop the site as a multicultural and multifunctional area for the community ( different kinds of leisure activities to respond to people's different needs, as for example, fishing, cultural activities, open air events and aquatic sports;)

- Improve the community awareness about the island landscape value and in this way address the problem about waste disposal and security;

- Improve the aesthetical image of the island by implementing maintenance and management programs to answer the specific needs;

- Enhancing the island value throw and new planting design concept;

- Use a more diverse approach in the planting design to improve the seasonal landscape change of the island;

- Use Romanian native plants in the concept to make the design more economically accessible and well adapted to the Romanian climate;

- Promoting the stratification of the vegetation to encourage a more diverse landscape and ecosystem;

- Protect and preserve the historical structures and design of the island;

- Improving the quality of life for the people in the community.''

Emphasizing the natural and historical potential of the site is a key factor for a sustainable development. To achieve this goal we will propose the follow development measures :

- Develop the site as a multicultural and multifunctional area for the community ( different kinds of leisure activities to respond to people's different needs, as for example, fishing, cultural activities, open air events and aquatic sports;)

- Improve the community awareness about the island landscape value and in this way address the problem about waste disposal and security;

- Improve the aesthetical image of the island by implementing maintenance and management programs to answer the specific needs;

- Enhancing the island value throw and new planting design concept;

- Use a more diverse approach in the planting design to improve the seasonal landscape change of the island;

- Use Romanian native plants in the concept to make the design more economically accessible and well adapted to the Romanian climate;

- Promoting the stratification of the vegetation to encourage a more diverse landscape and ecosystem;

- Protect and preserve the historical structures and design of the island;

- Improving the quality of life for the people in the community.''

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
*''Urban context-Dynamics
Constructed under the communist regime to prevent floodings in Bucharest, Morii Lake and the island were built over a cemetery and a church. The project had a huge impact on the area’s landscape due to demolitions and displacements of buildings and agricultural terrains left with no use, cutting down crop layers, meadows, rows of trees, isolated tress and shrubs. These actions lead to the loss of specific elements that characterize the specific landscape.
Located at the periphery of Bucharest the lake and island are somewhat hidden from the city and this lead to a complete neglect from the authorities. The area is like a puzzle composed of improvised establishments by Romani people, new residential assemblies, industrial and commercial units, abandoned arable land and green areas used as dumping places in the close proximity of the lake.

*''Overall character-Short analysis
Built in 1986 on an area of 4.2 ha, the Morii Lake Island was designed as a place of nature for the community. The design consisted of a high percentage of vegetation, with a “green belt” of Salix alba around the island’s limits and a “green core” of various Rosa species. One of the major goals in creating this area was to have diverse activities in a natural environment and for this were built two marinas, a gazebo and a flower-shaped fountain.

A short analysis of the island in present time shows several major problems regarding functional, natural and aesthetic elements: abandoned marina, vegetation in a state of degradation, broken pavement, no light system, sanitary waste, invasive vegetation so overall a complete lack of maintenance. The area is considered highly insecure and the only activity remaining is that of occasional fishing.

Inspite its’ degradation, the island remains an attraction for the people living in the neighborhood and the potential of becoming an important landmark, being the only island in Bucharest.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
*''Urban context-Dynamics
Constructed under the communist regime to prevent floodings in Bucharest, Morii Lake and the island were built over a cemetery and a church. The project had a huge impact on the area’s landscape due to demolitions and displacements of buildings and agricultural terrains left with no use, cutting down crop layers, meadows, rows of trees, isolated tress and shrubs. These actions lead to the loss of specific elements that characterize the specific landscape.
Located at the periphery of Bucharest the lake and island are somewhat hidden from the city and this lead to a complete neglect from the authorities. The area is like a puzzle composed of improvised establishments by Romani people, new residential assemblies, industrial and commercial units, abandoned arable land and green areas used as dumping places in the close proximity of the lake.

*''Overall character-Short analysis
Built in 1986 on an area of 4.2 ha, the Morii Lake Island was designed as a place of nature for the community. The design consisted of a high percentage of vegetation, with a “green belt” of Salix alba around the island’s limits and a “green core” of various Rosa species. One of the major goals in creating this area was to have diverse activities in a natural environment and for this were built two marinas, a gazebo and a flower-shaped fountain.

A short analysis of the island in present time shows several major problems regarding functional, natural and aesthetic elements: abandoned marina, vegetation in a state of degradation, broken pavement, no light system, sanitary waste, invasive vegetation so overall a complete lack of maintenance. The area is considered highly insecure and the only activity remaining is that of occasional fishing.

Inspite its’ degradation, the island remains an attraction for the people living in the neighborhood and the potential of becoming an important landmark, being the only island in Bucharest.

[[File:Swot-small.jpg|500px|thumb|left|'''Morri Lake Island SWOT Analysis''']]

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

''The objective of our design is an integrated approach on both social and cultural aspects with the main goal of adding value to the historical and environmental elements of the island. Emphasizing the natural and historical potential of the site is a key factor for a sustainable development. To achieve this goal we will propose the follow development measures :

- Develop the site as a multicultural and multifunctional area for the community ( different kinds of leisure activities to respond to people's different needs, as for example, fishing, cultural activities, open air events and aquatic sports;)

- Improve the community awareness about the island landscape value and in this way address the problem about waste disposal and security;

- Improve the aesthetical image of the island by implementing maintenance and management programs to answer the specific needs;

- Enhancing the island value throw and new planting design concept;

- Use a more diverse approach in the planting design to improve the seasonal landscape change of the island;

- Use Romanian native plants in the concept to make the design more economically accessible and well adapted to the Romanian climate;

- Promoting the stratification of the vegetation to encourage a more diverse landscape and ecosystem;

- Protect and preserve the historical structures and design of the island;

- Improving the quality of life for the people in the community.''

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
*''Urban context-Dynamics
Constructed under the communist regime to prevent floodings in Bucharest, Morii Lake and the island were built over a cemetery and a church. The project had a huge impact on the area’s landscape due to demolitions and displacements of buildings and agricultural terrains left with no use, cutting down crop layers, meadows, rows of trees, isolated tress and shrubs. These actions lead to the loss of specific elements that characterize the specific landscape.
Located at the periphery of Bucharest the lake and island are somewhat hidden from the city and this lead to a complete neglect from the authorities. The area is like a puzzle composed of improvised establishments by Romani people, new residential assemblies, industrial and commercial units, abandoned arable land and green areas used as dumping places in the close proximity of the lake.

*''Overall character-Short analysis
Built in 1986 on an area of 4.2 ha, the Morii Lake Island was designed as a place of nature for the community. The design consisted of a high percentage of vegetation, with a “green belt” of Salix alba around the island’s limits and a “green core” of various Rosa species. One of the major goals in creating this area was to have diverse activities in a natural environment and for this were built two marinas, a gazebo and a flower-shaped fountain.

A short analysis of the island in present time shows several major problems regarding functional, natural and aesthetic elements: abandoned marina, vegetation in a state of degradation, broken pavement, no light system, sanitary waste, invasive vegetation so overall a complete lack of maintenance. The area is considered highly insecure and the only activity remaining is that of occasional fishing.

Inspite its’ degradation, the island remains an attraction for the people living in the neighborhood and the potential of becoming an important landmark, being the only island in Bucharest.

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

''The objective of our design is an integrated approach on both social and cultural aspects with the main goal of adding value to the historical and environmental elements of the island. Emphasizing the natural and historical potential of the site is a key factor for a sustainable development. To achieve this goal we will propose the follow development measures :

- Develop the site as a multicultural and multifunctional area for the community ( different kinds of leisure activities to respond to people's different needs, as for example, fishing, cultural activities, open air events and aquatic sports;)

- Improve the community awareness about the island landscape value and in this way address the problem about waste disposal and security;

- Improve the aesthetical image of the island by implementing maintenance and management programs to answer the specific needs;

- Enhancing the island value throw and new planting design concept;

- Use a more diverse approach in the planting design to improve the seasonal landscape change of the island;

- Use Romanian native plants in the concept to make the design more economically accessible and well adapted to the Romanian climate;

- Promoting the stratification of the vegetation to encourage a more diverse landscape and ecosystem;

- Protect and preserve the historical structures and design of the island;

- Improving the quality of life for the people in the community.''

Emphasizing the natural and historical potential of the site is a key factor for a sustainable development. To achieve this goal we will propose the follow development measures :

- Develop the site as a multicultural and multifunctional area for the community ( different kinds of leisure activities to respond to people's different needs, as for example, fishing, cultural activities, open air events and aquatic sports;)

- Improve the community awareness about the island landscape value and in this way address the problem about waste disposal and security;

- Improve the aesthetical image of the island by implementing maintenance and management programs to answer the specific needs;

- Enhancing the island value throw and new planting design concept;

- Use a more diverse approach in the planting design to improve the seasonal landscape change of the island;

- Use Romanian native plants in the concept to make the design more economically accessible and well adapted to the Romanian climate;

- Promoting the stratification of the vegetation to encourage a more diverse landscape and ecosystem;

- Protect and preserve the historical structures and design of the island;

- Improving the quality of life for the people in the community.''

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

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
*''Urban context-Dynamics
Constructed under the communist regime to prevent floodings in Bucharest, Morii Lake and the island were built over a cemetery and a church. The project had a huge impact on the area’s landscape due to demolitions and displacements of buildings and agricultural terrains left with no use, cutting down crop layers, meadows, rows of trees, isolated tress and shrubs. These actions lead to the loss of specific elements that characterize the specific landscape.
Located at the periphery of Bucharest the lake and island are somewhat hidden from the city and this lead to a complete neglect from the authorities. The area is like a puzzle composed of improvised establishments by Romani people, new residential assemblies, industrial and commercial units, abandoned arable land and green areas used as dumping places in the close proximity of the lake.

*''Overall character-Short analysis
Built in 1986 on an area of 4.2 ha, the Morii Lake Island was designed as a place of nature for the community. The design consisted of a high percentage of vegetation, with a “green belt” of Salix alba around the island’s limits and a “green core” of various Rosa species. One of the major goals in creating this area was to have diverse activities in a natural environment and for this were built two marinas, a gazebo and a flower-shaped fountain.

A short analysis of the island in present time shows several major problems regarding functional, natural and aesthetic elements: abandoned marina, vegetation in a state of degradation, broken pavement, no light system, sanitary waste, invasive vegetation so overall a complete lack of maintenance. The area is considered highly insecure and the only activity remaining is that of occasional fishing.

Inspite its’ degradation, the island remains an attraction for the people living in the neighborhood and the potential of becoming an important landmark, being the only island in Bucharest.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
*''Urban context-Dynamics
Constructed under the communist regime to prevent floodings in Bucharest, Morii Lake and the island were built over a cemetery and a church. The project had a huge impact on the area’s landscape due to demolitions and displacements of buildings and agricultural terrains left with no use, cutting down crop layers, meadows, rows of trees, isolated tress and shrubs. These actions lead to the loss of specific elements that characterize the specific landscape.
Located at the periphery of Bucharest the lake and island are somewhat hidden from the city and this lead to a complete neglect from the authorities. The area is like a puzzle composed of improvised establishments by Romani people, new residential assemblies, industrial and commercial units, abandoned arable land and green areas used as dumping places in the close proximity of the lake.

*''Overall character-Short analysis
Built in 1986 on an area of 4.2 ha, the Morii Lake Island was designed as a place of nature for the community. The design consisted of a high percentage of vegetation, with a “green belt” of Salix alba around the island’s limits and a “green core” of various Rosa species. One of the major goals in creating this area was to have diverse activities in a natural environment and for this were built two marinas, a gazebo and a flower-shaped fountain.

A short analysis of the island in present time shows several major problems regarding functional, natural and aesthetic elements: abandoned marina, vegetation in a state of degradation, broken pavement, no light system, sanitary waste, invasive vegetation so overall a complete lack of maintenance. The area is considered highly insecure and the only activity remaining is that of occasional fishing.

Inspite its’ degradation, the island remains an attraction for the people living in the neighborhood and the potential of becoming an important landmark, being the only island in Bucharest.

[[File:Swot-small.jpg|500px|thumb|left|'''Morri Lake Island SWOT Analysis''']]

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

''The objective of our design is an integrated approach on both social and cultural aspects with the main goal of adding value to the historical and environmental elements of the island. Emphasizing the natural and historical potential of the site is a key factor for a sustainable development. To achieve this goal we will propose the follow development measures :

- Develop the site as a multicultural and multifunctional area for the community ( different kinds of leisure activities to respond to people's different needs, as for example, fishing, cultural activities, open air events and aquatic sports;)

- Improve the community awareness about the island landscape value and in this way address the problem about waste disposal and security;

- Improve the aesthetical image of the island by implementing maintenance and management programs to answer the specific needs;

- Enhancing the island value throw and new planting design concept;

- Use a more diverse approach in the planting design to improve the seasonal landscape change of the island;

- Use Romanian native plants in the concept to make the design more economically accessible and well adapted to the Romanian climate;

- Promoting the stratification of the vegetation to encourage a more diverse landscape and ecosystem;

- Protect and preserve the historical structures and design of the island;

- Improving the quality of life for the people in the community.

*''Overall character-Short analysis
Built in 1986 on an area of 4.2 ha, the Morii Lake Island was designed as a place of nature for the community. The design consisted of a high percentage of vegetation, with a “green belt” of Salix alba around the island’s limits and a “green core” of various Rosa species. One of the major goals in creating this area was to have diverse activities in a natural environment and for this were built two marinas, a gazebo and a flower-shaped fountain.

A short analysis of the island in present time shows several major problems regarding functional, natural and aesthetic elements: abandoned marina, vegetation in a state of degradation, broken pavement, no light system, sanitary waste, invasive vegetation so overall a complete lack of maintenance. The area is considered highly insecure and the only activity remaining is that of occasional fishing.

Inspite its’ degradation, the island remains an attraction for the people living in the neighborhood and the potential of becoming an important landmark, being the only island in Bucharest.

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

''The objectives of our design are an integrated approach on both social and cultural aspects with the main goal of adding value to the historical and environmental aspects of the island. Emphasizing the natural and historical potential of the site is a key factor for a sustainable development. To achieve this goals we will propose the follow development measures / strategies :

- develop the site as a multicultural and multifunctional area for the community ( different kinds of leisure activities to respond to people's different needs, as for example, fishing, cultural activities, open air events and aquatic sports;

- improve the community awareness about the island landscape value and in this way address the problem about waste disposal and security;

- Improve the aesthetical image of the island by implementing maintenance and management programs to answer the specific needs;

- Enhancing the island value throw and new planting design concept;

- Use a more diverse approach in the planting design to enhance the seasonal landscape change of the island;

- Use Romanian native plants in the concept to make the planting design more economically accessible and well adapted to the Romanian climate;

- Promoting the stratification of the vegetation to encourage a more diverse landscape and ecosystem;

- Protect and preserve the historical structures and design of the island;

- Improving the quality of life for the people in the community.

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

Morii Lake is the largest lake in Bucharest, man-made in 1986 to protect the city from floods. During the construction, on the north part of the lake an artificial island was created known as "Morii Lake Island". With an area of 4.2 ha the island was designed by combining a natural design within a formal framework. The goal was to achieve a ''romantic image'' so plants were chosen for their color, flowering or for what they symbolized, like for example groups of willows along the lake side. The landscape created, even though it had an artificial basis was perceived as a highly natural one.

There are two major aspects that make this case an interesting one. The first one focuses on the island's history, which is divided in two main periods: 1986-1989 and 1989-present day. During 1986-1989 the island was a highly valued area in Bucharest, where a lot of cultural outdoor events took place attended even by Ceausesc, picnics or boat rides. After the revolution in 1989 the area suffered from a lack of maintenance and it is in a constant state of degradation, being now no more than a place to dump garbage.
The second aspect I consider relevant is the fact that "Morii Lake Island" is known to be the only island in Bucharest, so this unique characteristic gives the area a really high potential.

== Author's perspective ==
As an urban and landscape planner I am documenting this case focusing on the revival of a neglected landscape that holds a lot of potential. The matter of neglected landscapes is a problem I have seen occurring nowadays due to the rapid urban development, or better say the "modern times". People are in a constant search for the "new" factor (new areas, new facilities, new images) and this leads to an indifference towards the "everyday" elements including landscape and nature. It has been proven in a study that people never look to see more then what is in their visual range, so how can you make them look? We are so fixated on our routes that even the most beautiful landscape gets lost in the background.

I consider that one of the keys in solving this problem is social activism by getting people involved in projects such as urban and landscape regeneration, making them aware of what it is around and letting them come up with solutions. By implicating local people in the decision-making process, it allows unique approaches in regenerating neglected areas and landscapes through aesthetic, cognitive and emotional dimensions. The sites character and past together with the interpretation of objects and symbols sit at the basis of a cultural landscape as a way of variety.

There are three principles I believe to be relevant for a case study: valuing the existent, defining what is missing and developing the potential. This focuses on identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the site, along with the opportunities and threats that come from the outside environment. Basically it refers to an inside-out approach that covers all the factors of the case study.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
*''Urban context - History/Dynamics''
The urban space goes through continue changes, reshaping it’s identity with each time frame and trends in the planning of cities, which also implies a reconfiguration of the city landscape, the two being undeniably connected.
During the communist period, one of the biggest projects was the construction of Morii Lake, and artificial lake within the urban area of Bucharest that modified the natural and anthropogenic environments. The project had a huge impact on the area’s landscape due to demolitions and displacements of buildings and agricultural terrains left with no use, cutting down crop layers, meadows, rows of trees, isolated tress and shrubs. These actions lead to the loss of specific elements that characterize the periphery landscape.

Morii Lake is the largest lake of Bucharest occupying an area of 220 ha, built at the entrance of the Dambovita River in the city. The lake was built between 1985 – 1987, with the purpose of protecting the city from floods and for rational water management. It is surrounded by longitudinal dykes and in 1986 an island was built on the north part, know as Morii Lake Island. Being built on such a short term, the project involved major actions like neighborhood demolition, monuments have been destroyed and people have been relocated, creating a disruption in the urban space. This disruption was not solved, no urban development plans were made and the Morii Lake area was completely neglected by the authorities, leaving the environmental disfunctionalities to amplify.

Regarding the effects of the lake on the landscape there can be mentioned positive and negative ones. The positive effects identified are: reducing of flood risks, new favorable ecosystem, recreation and nautical sports, fishing activities, renewable non-polluting energy and a new nature area for the city that encourages tourism. As negative effects there can be mentioned: changing the downstream biotope and the downstream ecosystem, biotic instability, local climate change and reduce local natural elements.

Twenty six years later, there continues to be a discontinuity in the urban fabric and landscape. The area is like a puzzle composed of improvised establishments by Romani people, new residential assemblies, industrial and commercial units, abandoned arable land and green areas used as dumping places in the close proximity of the lake.

*Island analysis - Overall charcter through time
Built in 1986 on an area of 4.2 ha, the Morii Lake Island was designed as a place of nature for the community. The design consisted of a high percentage of vegetation, with a “green belt” of Salix alba around the island’s limits and a “green core” of various Rosa species. One of the major goals in creating this area was to have diverse activities in a natural environment and for this were built two marinas, a gazebo and a flower-shaped fountain.

1986 – 1990

During the communist period there were a lot of cultural events taking place on the island due to the natural surroundings. The main function was that of a recreational area, with boat and water-sport contests, fishing contest, festivals and concerts. It was considered as a family environment (picnics, improvised playgrounds, fishing) and a key area for tourism activities because it is the only island of the capital. The popularity of the area grew so much that even the president Ceausescu attended several events that took place there.

1990 – present

At the beginning of 1990, after the revolution, the dynamics started to change and the authorities decided to cut off the funds for the island’s maintenance. This decision led the area to fall in a constant state of degradation and it ended up to be abandoned and neglected by the whole community.
In present day, a quick analysis of the island shows several major problems regarding functional, natural and aesthetic elements: abandoned marina, gazebo in a state of degradation, broken pavement, no light system, sanitary waste, invasive vegetation. The area is considered highly insecure and the only activity remaining is that of occasional fishing.

** ''How would you like this case to change in the near future? (in 1-2 years)''
For this short period of time my approach is based on there steps: safe, clean and green. Because the island is located in a suburb part of the city that is considered not safe due to illicit activities, creating a light system for the whole island will improve the image it has at night. This will help it be more secure and also accessible once the sun sets. The next steps, making it green and clean are two methods based on a more social level, by trying to make the people aware of the problems and involved in redeveloping the island, maybe with a motto like "A tree a day keeps the doctor away". This way, a replanting project can have a more personal approach, to which people can relate.
** ''And how could it look like in 10-15 years?''
Redeveloping the Morii Lake Island as a public orchard offers a new perspective of the area's residents and beneficiaries of the recreation potential. Re-branding the island into an orchard may seem unrelated to the area, but it focuses on people's emotions like how it feels to see fruits growing in the tree you planted. This development along with new green spaces for picnics, sports, bike lanes will change the aesthetic, cognitive and emotional perceptions of the landscape and it will revive the island.

== Summary and conclusion ==
Morii Lake Island is an example of the negative effects people have on the environment and how unaware they can be about it. The goal was to recreate nature within the city, only to forget about it let it disappear. My proposal aims to reshape the island through social based projects because people need to be aware of what is around them and even taught about the implications their actions have on the image of the city and the environment.

Case study D and case study B focus on the necessity of planting design as an input to improve the environmental and social quality of those spaces. Stabilizing dunes in case study B is a very important aspect of landscape architecture practice and it´s done in many projects in Portugal (my country). Its very important to stop the coastal erosion, protected it from the strong winds, creating new recreational places for people to enjoy and also protect the coast from urbanization sprawl. The case study D, an urban park, also aims to improve the function and quality of planting design with new vegetation structures taking into account the ecological succession as a intentional design process. This two approaches were well done described and had an holistic design thinking.
Case study C focused on planting maintenance and management of a beautiful garden in a difficult dry climate. This case study developed a strategy on different time frames, improving the soil quality and then to purify the water channels changing the techniques used. The management and maintenance of a green space it´s a crucial aspect for the future of those spaces and without a strategic and integrated approach a garden/park is condemned. This case study analysis gives importance to this issue in a well explained example.

Good work for every cases, you have presented very interesting images of nature in different contexts!

Sérgio Ribeiro, Group 1, Case study B

The case studies presented focus on three relevant types of nature images in the city: the "all natural" environment (Case study B), the "man made" structured landscape (Case study C) and the "half and half" natural ecosystem with human intervention (Case study D).
The fist case, Estuary of Mino River shows the importance of preserving natural ecosystems from urban development. This is a very important aspect we are faced with, and I consider the approach used for the future development to be really pertinent. The two main methods used: developing new pathways to control the human presence in the area and stabilizing the dunes through planting design are very accessible and show that sometimes "less is more". Case study D, President Ronald Reagan's Park focuses on the same issue of preserving the natural environment and shows how an urban park can be a key factor in the ecological development of a city. A really important aspect used in the planting design was to let nature develop freely, and use native plants as an addition to the existing vegetation. These two cases placed great emphasis on the environmental importance of nature in the city context.
Case study C presented a very structured image of nature and it is a good example of the interaction between natural elements and culture. Recreating the pattern of a persian carpet through planting design is a beautiful metaphor of the past. This case brings into focus the importance of maintenance in a garden and how the lack of management can have negative effects on the natural elements, especially in a rough climate.

As a conclusion, I found all the cases really interesting, presented in a good manner and I consider this a good opportunity to learn new approaches and ideas.
