== Short Introduction to the Area of Study ==

Overpasses are important as a transport structures, but also as elements of everyday
landscape which thousansd of people pass on their way.

Dresden’s railway overpass is located in the western part from the city center and connects 3
train stations: Dresden Neustadt, Dresden Mitte and Dresden Hauptbahnhof.
Points where overpass cut the streets, space under and it’s surrounding lie in area of our
biggest interest. It’a place where pedestrian, cyclists, people going by car and train meet for short
moment, to continue travel to their destination.

These places usually exist in people’s minds as not pleasant for the eye structure, sometimes dirty
and scary which they need to just go through to get on the other side, in reality the usage and
meaning of it, can be much more sophisticated.
Overpasses create landscape windows, they can be background, foreground, accent or cover to different spaces.

== Exercise 1: Sketching the Landscape ==

'''Time frame: October 25 - November 15, 2011'''

'''''Student activities:'''''
* Creation of analytical drawings and sketches
* Presentation of results

''Please upload a selection of your drawings/sketches/mental maps and add them to the image gallery''

== Exercise 2: Landscape Layers ==

'''Time frame: November 15 - 29, 2011'''
*time based changes and 'landscape biography', and/or:
