== Short Introduction to the Area of Study ==
Frankfurt is an international, dynamic and financial city with the highest towering skyscrapers silhouette of Germany, in whose streets the plurality of languages is something natural, famous for the Main River, which is the heart of the city.

The case study area extends from the historical bridge, called Eiserner Steg, to the surroundings of the old Großmarkthalle, place where the new Frankfurt Hafen park, proposed by Sinai Faust Schroll Schwarz Landscape Architects, and landscape areas of the Skytower house of the new European Central Bank, proposed by Vogt Landscape architects are being developed.

The banks of the river are the meeting place of the city, serving as a green space surrounded by museums, historical buildings and parks. It is characterized by its system of circulation, with interconnecting walkways, recreational facilities and open spaces full of contrasts, binding the modern with the traditional, the urban and the rustic associated with the life of the city, becoming an international oasis of culture, history, and landscape development.

== Exercise 4: Communication Concepts ==

'''Time frame: December 19, 2011 - January 17, 2012'''
* Based on the different landscape assessment approaches students will develop a communication concept for their area of study
* Which measures would be necessary for enhancing the awareness for the area?
* Students are free to choose their method.

'''Frankfurt am Man "Green Battle"'''

''''''What better than a party to communicate our study area?''''''

''''''What better than a party to celebrate the vegetation in the cities!?''''''

In the battle participants throw green balls of green clay to each other to end completely covered with this mixture together with the field of battle. This green clay is actually a mixture of seeds and substrate after the battle the seeds accumulated in the ground of the battlefield to bring out a garden, this garden will evolve new types of plant species more resistant and less water needs.

The battle consist to launched green clay in the field of battle for a future garden. However, in order to make sense of the party, some rules are implemented to make the battle more complex:

-Participants should be grouped into teams.

-Each team can choose a type of plant to be representative of the group (team) in the garden.

-Each team can build an object (idol) that will lead into battle. This idol will be objective of bombardment by other teams. . The idol could have the characteristics of a giant, person or, puppet made of a porous material to retain the balls accumulated on it. These objet will become part of the garden

'''Frankfurt am Man "Green Battle"'''

''''''What better than a party to communicate our study area?''''''

''''''What better than a party to celebrate the vegetation in the cities!?''''''

In the battle participants throw green balls of green clay to each other to end completely covered with this mixture together with the field of battle. This green clay is actually a mixture of seeds and substrate after the battle is accumulated in the elements and the ground of the battlefield to bring out a garden in record time (2-3 weeks), this garden will evolve new types of plant species more resistant and less water needs.

== Short Introduction to the Area of Study ==
Frankfurt is an international, dynamic and financial city with the highest towering skyscrapers silhouette of Germany, in whose streets the plurality of languages is something natural, famous for the Main River, which is the heart of the city.

The case study area extends from the historical bridge, called Eiserner Steg, to the surroundings of the old Großmarkthalle, place where the new Frankfurt Hafen park, proposed by Sinai Faust Schroll Schwarz Landscape Architects, and landscape areas of the Skytower house of the new European Central Bank, proposed by Vogt Landscape architects are being developed.

The banks of the river are the meeting place of the city, serving as a green space surrounded by museums, historical buildings and parks. It is characterized by its system of circulation, with interconnecting walkways, recreational facilities and open spaces full of contrasts, binding the modern with the traditional, the urban and the rustic associated with the life of the city, becoming an international oasis of culture, history, and landscape development.

== Exercise 4: Communication Concepts ==

'''Time frame: December 19, 2011 - January 17, 2012'''
* Based on the different landscape assessment approaches students will develop a communication concept for their area of study
* Which measures would be necessary for enhancing the awareness for the area?
* Students are free to choose their method.

'''Frankfurt am Man "Green Battle"'''

''''''What better than a party to communicate our study area?''''''

''''''What better than a party to celebrate the vegetation in the cities!?''''''

In the battle participants throw green balls of green clay to each other to end completely covered with this mixture together with the field of battle. This green clay is actually a mixture of seeds and substrate after the battle is accumulated in the elements and the ground of the battlefield to bring out a garden in record time (2-3 weeks), this garden will evolve new types of plant species more resistant and less water needs.

'''The field of battle.'''

In the area are located a target number of trees that serve as barriers for protection against the release of green mud balls on which participants can practice their aim.

'''The rules'''

The battle consist to launched green clay in the field of battle for a future garden. However, in order to make sense of the party, some rules are implemented to make the battle more complex:

-Participants should be grouped into teams.

-Each team can choose a type of plant to be representative of the group (team) in the garden.

-Each team can build an object (idol) that will lead into battle. This idol will be objective of bombardment by other teams. . The idol could have the characteristics of a giant, person or, puppet made of a porous material to retain the balls accumulated on it. These objet will become part of the garden

'''The result.'''

The green Battle generates a future garden. The garden plants grow with the teams chosen plants.

The party may be changing every year creating green spaces in lots and wasteland, can also be repeated in the same place if annual plants are used.
The green battle can become a festival with international repercussions.

''''''So who would not like a battle like this?'''''

== Exercise 4: Communication Concepts ==

'''Time frame: December 19, 2011 - January 17, 2012'''
* Based on the different landscape assessment approaches students will develop a communication concept for their area of study
* Which measures would be necessary for enhancing the awareness for the area?
* Students are free to choose their method.

'''Frankfurt am Man "Green Battle"'''

''''''What better than a party to communicate our study area?''''''

''''''What better than a party to celebrate the vegetation in the cities!?''''''

== Short Introduction to the Area of Study ==
Frankfurt is an international, dynamic and financial city with the highest towering skyscrapers silhouette of Germany, in whose streets the plurality of languages is something natural, famous for the Main River, which is the heart of the city.

The case study area extends from the historical bridge, called Eiserner Steg, to the surroundings of the old Großmarkthalle, place where the new Frankfurt Hafen park, proposed by Sinai Faust Schroll Schwarz Landscape Architects, and landscape areas of the Skytower house of the new European Central Bank, proposed by Vogt Landscape architects are being developed.

The banks of the river are the meeting place of the city, serving as a green space surrounded by museums, historical buildings and parks. It is characterized by its system of circulation, with interconnecting walkways, recreational facilities and open spaces full of contrasts, binding the modern with the traditional, the urban and the rustic associated with the life of the city, becoming an international oasis of culture, history, and landscape development.

== Exercise 4: Communication Concepts ==

'''Time frame: December 19, 2011 - January 17, 2012'''
* Based on the different landscape assessment approaches students will develop a communication concept for their area of study
* Which measures would be necessary for enhancing the awareness for the area?
* Students are free to choose their method.

'''Frankfurt am Man "Green Battle"'''

''''''What better than a party to communicate our study area?''''''

''''''What better than a party to celebrate the vegetation in the cities!?''''''

In the battle participants throw green balls of green clay to each other to end completely covered with this mixture together with the field of battle. This green clay is actually a mixture of seeds and substrate after the battle is accumulated in the elements and the ground of the battlefield to bring out a garden in record time (2-3 weeks), this garden will evolve new types of plant species more resistant and less water needs.

'''The field of battle.'''

In the area are located a target number of trees that serve as barriers for protection against the release of green mud balls on which participants can practice their aim.

'''The rules'''

The battle consist to launched green clay in the field of battle for a future garden. However, in order to make sense of the party, some rules are implemented to make the battle more complex:

-Participants should be grouped into teams.

-Each team can choose a type of plant to be representative of the group (team) in the garden.

-Each team can build an object (idol) that will lead into battle. This idol will be objective of bombardment by other teams. . The idol could have the characteristics of a giant, person or, puppet made of a porous material to retain the balls accumulated on it. These objet will become part of the garden

== Exercise 4: Communication Concepts ==

'''Time frame: December 19, 2011 - January 17, 2012'''
* Based on the different landscape assessment approaches students will develop a communication concept for their area of study
* Which measures would be necessary for enhancing the awareness for the area?
* Students are free to choose their method.

'''Frankfurt am Man "Green Battle"'''

''''''What better than a party to communicate our study area?''''''

''''''What better than a party to celebrate the vegetation in the cities!?''''''

In the battle participants throw green balls of green clay to each other to end completely covered with this mixture together with the field of battle. This green clay is actually a mixture of seeds and substrate after the battle is accumulated in the elements and the ground of the battlefield to bring out a garden in record time (2-3 weeks), this garden will evolve new types of plant species more resistant and less water needs.

<gallery caption=" " widths="300px" heights="500px" perrow="5">

</gallery>
'''The field of battle.'''

In the area are located a target number of trees that serve as barriers for protection against the release of green mud balls on which participants can practice their aim.

'''The rules'''

The battle consist to launched green clay in the field of battle for a future garden. However, in order to make sense of the party, some rules are implemented to make the battle more complex:

-Participants should be grouped into teams.

-Each team can choose a type of plant to be representative of the group (team) in the garden.

-Each team can build an object (idol) that will lead into battle. This idol will be objective of bombardment by other teams. . The idol could have the characteristics of a giant, person or, puppet made of a porous material to retain the balls accumulated on it. These objet will become part of the garden

'''The result.'''

The green Battle generates a future garden. The garden plants grow with the teams chosen plants.

The party may be changing every year creating green spaces in lots and wasteland, can also be repeated in the same place if annual plants are used.
The green battle can become a festival with international repercussions.

''''''So who would not like a battle like this?'''''

'''Using the media to communicate the activity.'''

The person will have to register for free in the activity web page to be part of the Green Battle, this website provide information about the activity, about the importance of the activity, and general information of the area where the battle is going to be handle, as well the web provide information about the history of the area.

The green battle would have a Facebook page, where the people could write their opinions of how to improve the activity. Make new friends, groups, teams, and much more.

== Short Introduction to the Area of Study ==
Frankfurt is an international, dynamic and financial city with the highest towering skyscrapers silhouette of Germany, in whose streets the plurality of languages is something natural, famous for the Main River, which is the heart of the city.

The case study area extends from the historical bridge, called Eiserner Steg, to the surroundings of the old Großmarkthalle, place where the new Frankfurt Hafen park, proposed by Sinai Faust Schroll Schwarz Landscape Architects, and landscape areas of the Skytower house of the new European Central Bank, proposed by Vogt Landscape architects are being developed.

The banks of the river are the meeting place of the city, serving as a green space surrounded by museums, historical buildings and parks. It is characterized by its system of circulation, with interconnecting walkways, recreational facilities and open spaces full of contrasts, binding the modern with the traditional, the urban and the rustic associated with the life of the city, becoming an international oasis of culture, history, and landscape development.

Pio brown:

Dear Alessandro, good work, Greetings, Ellen

== Layer Analysis ==

Dear Alessandro, your analysis is very clear and it is a very good idea to show first the structures of Maastricht as a whole and then get into detail with your area. I guess you have received good data from the office. I am wondering about the big bridge west of your area - is it for traffic only or are pedestrians able to cross it? I think the river Maas could give a good impression from there.

There seems to be another green area starting over the bridge to the west. So in terms of green connections - can people go by bike through you area, then cross the bridge and enter this other green area to got into the direction of the city center?

Did you find any information about how the area looked like 100 years ago? Maybe green land with cows?

What is your interpretation from these layers - did you identify anything new?

Best wishes

Ellen

------------------------------------------

Dear Ellen,

Thank you for the feedback.
I did not collect much data from the office, the work is the outcome of my personal perception of the area. I tried to gather some old maps, however most images were a general representation of the whole city, the area was not well represented in the past. I tried to work better on the bridge's traffic in the Behaviour pattern assignment, in fact it is heavily used by cars, therefore there is no enjoyment of the beautiful view!

I included the green area you mentioned in the Behaviour pattern exercise. As you can see from the map and especially the movie the area is linked to my area, however it seem to be poorly used, at least in winter time.
Overall I can say that the green environment is better developed in the old part of the city. It seems that the part surrounding my area went through a troubled planning time, the good part is that there's lot of space for improvement. Concerning the river Maas I have the impression is poorly used for everyday recreational purposes. The traffic layer shows a good planning of the city but a rather complicated one for the area I chose.

Best wishes,

Ale.

Dear Ale

I like very much your idea very much because, it is simple, take the attention of people of different ages, is not expensive to build, media (TV, radio, internet) is not necessary to communicate it, and I am sure the people would identified very much.

Well done Ale

* Based on the different landscape assessment approaches students will develop a communication concept for their area of study
* Which measures would be necessary for enhancing the awareness for the area?
* Students are free to choose their method.

'''Frankfurt am Man "Green Battle"'''

''''''What better than a party to communicate our study area?''''''

''''''What better than a party to celebrate the vegetation in the cities!?''''''

In the battle participants throw green balls of green clay to each other to end completely covered with this mixture together with the field of battle. This green clay is actually a mixture of seeds and substrate after the battle is accumulated in the elements and the ground of the battlefield to bring out a garden in record time (2-3 weeks), this garden will evolve new types of plant species more resistant and less water needs.

</gallery>
'''The field of battle.'''

In the area are located a target number of trees that serve as barriers for protection against the release of green mud balls on which participants can practice their aim.

'''The rules'''

The battle consist to launched green clay in the field of battle for a future garden. However, in order to make sense of the party, some rules are implemented to make the battle more complex:

-Participants should be grouped into teams.

-Each team can choose a type of plant to be representative of the group (team) in the garden.

-Each team can build an object (idol) that will lead into battle. This idol will be objective of bombardment by other teams. . The idol could have the characteristics of a giant, person or, puppet made of a porous material to retain the balls accumulated on it. These objet will become part of the garden

'''The result.'''

The green Battle generates a future garden. The garden plants grow with the teams chosen plants.

The party may be changing every year creating green spaces in lots and wasteland, can also be repeated in the same place if annual plants are used.
The green battle can become a festival with international repercussions.

Talk:River Area Frankfurt Main

2012-01-11T14:59:14Z

Pio brown:

Landscape Layers :

The Historical analysis is very clear and covers a big part of the City's history. Perhaps you could modify the images to include the study case area in the historical images ?
I think it can be interesting even if the images are not too detailed.

----

Dear Pio,

I agree with Alexandro's comment from above, but since the time is running, it might not be feasibly anymore to add this information. Still it would be nice if you would give some information at which time this area has changed moste intensively.

Thanks for the elevations, this makes very clear that there are different levels between the built structure, traffic, open space and the river. I was not aware of this before. There is presumably a very different ambiance in all of these levels.

Was it the first time for you to reflect about the world war II destruction of a city? I would imagine this being a new experience for someone from outside Europe.

You refer to the new development east of this area. Did you have a look at the proposed landscape design by Vogt landscape architects? Will it bring new elements to the area along the river compared to the old part?

Interesting work, best wishes

Ellen

Dear Pio,

I like your concept!
It's an original way to attract people's attention towards a public space.
The second slide is very well done, the concept is explained in a clear and easy layout.
Perhaps I would insert a small map of the area with a small dot or circle representing the installation.

Well done!

Ale.

thanks ale, i am happy you like the idea, i am still working on, i will make some other photo montages, and add some information, thank you very much.

== Short Introduction to the Area of Study ==
Frankfurt is an international, dynamic and financial city with the highest towering skyscrapers silhouette of Germany, in whose streets the plurality of languages is something natural, famous for the Main River, which is the heart of the city.

The case study area extends from the historical bridge, called Eiserner Steg, to the surroundings of the old Großmarkthalle, place where the new Frankfurt Hafen park, proposed by Sinai Faust Schroll Schwarz Landscape Architects, and landscape areas of the Skytower house of the new European Central Bank, proposed by Vogt Landscape architects are being developed.

The banks of the river are the meeting place of the city, serving as a green space surrounded by museums, historical buildings and parks. It is characterized by its system of circulation, with interconnecting walkways, recreational facilities and open spaces full of contrasts, binding the modern with the traditional, the urban and the rustic associated with the life of the city, becoming an international oasis of culture, history, and landscape development.

== Exercise 4: Communication Concepts ==

'''Time frame: December 19, 2011 - January 17, 2012'''
* Based on the different landscape assessment approaches students will develop a communication concept for their area of study
* Which measures would be necessary for enhancing the awareness for the area?
* Students are free to choose their method.

'''Frankfurt am Man "Green Battle"'''

''''''What better than a party to communicate our study area?''''''

''''''What better than a party to celebrate the vegetation in the cities!?''''''

In the battle participants throw green balls of green clay to each other to end completely covered with this mixture together with the field of battle. This green clay is actually a mixture of seeds and substrate after the battle is accumulated in the elements and the ground of the battlefield to bring out a garden in record time (2-3 weeks), this garden will evolve new types of plant species more resistant and less water needs.

'''Time frame: December 19, 2011 - January 17, 2012'''
* Based on the different landscape assessment approaches students will develop a communication concept for their area of study
* Which measures would be necessary for enhancing the awareness for the area?
* Students are free to choose their method.

'''Frankfurt am Man "Green Battle"'''

''''''What better than a party to communicate our study area?''''''

''''''What better than a party to celebrate the vegetation in the cities!?''''''

In the battle participants throw green balls of green clay to each other to end completely covered with this mixture together with the field of battle. This green clay is actually a mixture of seeds and substrate after the battle is accumulated in the elements and the ground of the battlefield to bring out a garden in record time (2-3 weeks), this garden will evolve new types of plant species more resistant and less water needs.

'''The field of battle.'''

In the area are located a target number of trees that serve as barriers for protection against the release of green mud balls on which participants can practice their aim.

'''The rules'''

The battle consist to launched green clay in the field of battle for a future garden. However, in order to make sense of the party, some rules are implemented to make the battle more complex:

-Participants should be grouped into teams.

-Each team can choose a type of plant to be representative of the group (team) in the garden.

-Each team can build an object (idol) that will lead into battle. This idol will be objective of bombardment by other teams. . The idol could have the characteristics of a giant, person or, puppet made of a porous material to retain the balls accumulated on it. These objet will become part of the garden

Frankfurt is an international, dynamic and financial city with the highest towering skyscrapers silhouette of Germany, in whose streets the plurality of languages is something natural, famous for the Main River, which is the heart of the city.

The case study area extends from the historical bridge, called Eiserner Steg, to the surroundings of the old Großmarkthalle, place where the new Frankfurt Hafen park, proposed by Sinai Faust Schroll Schwarz Landscape Architects, and landscape areas of the Skytower house of the new European Central Bank, proposed by Vogt Landscape architects are being developed.

The banks of the river are the meeting place of the city, serving as a green space surrounded by museums, historical buildings and parks. It is characterized by its system of circulation, with interconnecting walkways, recreational facilities and open spaces full of contrasts, binding the modern with the traditional, the urban and the rustic associated with the life of the city, becoming an international oasis of culture, history, and landscape development.

== Exercise 4: Communication Concepts ==

'''Time frame: December 19, 2011 - January 17, 2012'''
* Based on the different landscape assessment approaches students will develop a communication concept for their area of study
* Which measures would be necessary for enhancing the awareness for the area?
* Students are free to choose their method.

== ''' Frankfurt am Man "Green Battle'''

'''What better than a party to communicate our study area?''' ==

'''What better than a party to celebrate the vegetation in the cities!?'''

In the battle participants throw green balls of green clay to each other to end completely covered with this mixture together with the field of battle. This green clay is actually a mixture of seeds and substrate after the battle is accumulated in the elements and the ground of the battlefield to bring out a garden in record time (2-3 weeks), this garden will evolve new types of plant species more resistant and less water needs.

Image:Green battle 2.jpg|
Image:Batlle_green_5.jpg|

</gallery>
'''The field of battle.'''

In the area are located a target number of trees that serve as barriers for protection against the release of green mud balls on which participants can practice their aim.

'''The rules'''

The battle consist to launched green clay in the field of battle for a future garden. However, in order to make sense of the party, some rules are implemented to make the battle more complex:

-Participants should be grouped into teams.

-Each team can choose a type of plant to be representative of the group (team) in the garden.

-Each team can build an object (idol) that will lead into battle. This idol will be objective of bombardment by other teams. . The idol could have the characteristics of a giant, person or, puppet made of a porous material to retain the balls accumulated on it. These objet will become part of the garden

'''The result.'''

The green Battle generates a future garden. The garden plants grow with the teams chosen plants.

The party may be changing every year creating green spaces in lots and wasteland, can also be repeated in the same place if annual plants are used.
The green battle can become a festival with international repercussions.

'''So who would not like a battle like this?'''

'''¿What better than a party to celebrate the vegetation in the cities!?'''

In the battle participants throw green balls of green clay to each other to end completely covered with this mixture together with the field of battle. This green clay is actually a mixture of seeds and substrate after the battle is accumulated in the elements and the ground of the battlefield to bring out a garden in record time (2-3 weeks), this garden will evolve new types of plant species more resistant and less water needs.

== Short Introduction to the Area of Study ==
Frankfurt is an international, dynamic and financial city with the highest towering skyscrapers silhouette of Germany, in whose streets the plurality of languages is something natural, famous for the Main River, which is the heart of the city.

The case study area extends from the historical bridge, called Eiserner Steg, to the surroundings of the old Großmarkthalle, place where the new Frankfurt Hafen park, proposed by Sinai Faust Schroll Schwarz Landscape Architects, and landscape areas of the Skytower house of the new European Central Bank, proposed by Vogt Landscape architects are being developed.

The banks of the river are the meeting place of the city, serving as a green space surrounded by museums, historical buildings and parks. It is characterized by its system of circulation, with interconnecting walkways, recreational facilities and open spaces full of contrasts, binding the modern with the traditional, the urban and the rustic associated with the life of the city, becoming an international oasis of culture, history, and landscape development.

-Each team can build an object (idol) that will lead into battle. This idol will be objective of bombardment by other teams. . The idol could have the characteristics of a giant, person or, puppet made of a porous material to retain the balls accumulated on it. These objet will become part of the garden

== Short Introduction to the Area of Study ==
Frankfurt is an international, dynamic and financial city with the highest towering skyscrapers silhouette of Germany, in whose streets the plurality of languages is something natural, famous for the Main River, which is the heart of the city.
