'''''Târgului River, Câmpulung Muscel, Romania'''''

Why this site?

''Radu'' - I came across this site during a workshop I have participated to this summer, in Câmpulung Muscel, Romania. I related to the site almost instantly when I saw its potential of becoming a landmark of Câmpulung Muscel. The unicity it has, due to the man-made concrete slopes that frame the river with households on one margin and train rail on the other and the wildness of the plants that grow near the water has charmed me and I am very glad that my team-mates agreed to work on this site.

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

*'''Biogeography'''
Câmpulung Muscel is a city formed on both sides of the Târgului River. It's placed at the Sub-Carphatian Mountains. This region was early valued by it's inhabitant, the city growing to be an important econoical center. Here you can find forests, meadows, good rock for expoitation and good soil for growing vegetables. The river is crossing the city on 7.4 km long way, from North-Est to Suth -West.The city is placed at around 600m above sea level. You can find plants like ''Carpinus betulus, Populus termula, Betula verrucosa, Corylus avellana, Cornus mas, Craetegus monogyna, Rosa cannina, Sambucus nigra, Alnus glutinosa, Salix fragilis, Agrostis , Festuca rubra,''

*'''Cultural features'''
The city has a strong cultural background. It can be found alot of relics about the Romanian culture. The soroundings are also rich in culture and history from ancient ruins to beautifull arhitectural monuments. The city can be found in alot of writings from respected Romanian writers. In modern times, the city lost a little of it's charming, romantic features due to the lack of maintenance works. There is no strategy tourism-wie, so if people want to find the places that talk about the beautiful history and culture of the places, they will have difficultes in finding these places. '''The Târgului river''' is framed on both sides by houses and railroad. The animals from the households are living freely on the river shore. People are only passing by and they don't have activities related to the river. There is no pathway in the area, the vegetation grows freely keeping the people that are passing by on the path near the households.

*'''Overall character'''
Câmpulung Muscel has an impressive built and historical heritage, very diverse and nationally and internationally acknowledged. Approches on reabilitation and recovery of the sites has been given more attention in the last few years. The city has evolved due to it's rich heritage and resourses but sadly it's started to be forgotten in the last decades that lead to it's decay. The landscape, natural values, the tradition should support the future development.

'''History and dynamics'''
Câmpulung Muscel was the first Capital of Romanian Country, from the will of the ruler Basarab the First. The sub-carpathian mountains zone where the city is placed gave great circumstances for the city to evolve and become an impotant economical city. Few decades ago, people used the river site as a recreational area. They were going to take baths in it, the place had a strong social character. The river changed the most when it was constructed a dam up the river..the building have grow in number closer to the river, he acces to the water was destroyed and the river's course has decreased. This was an important artificial intervention that chaned the river completly. The peoples link to the river was cut down and the wildness of the vegetation took its course.

*'''Present issues'''
There are some discussions in the town hall about development of the city, and the river is one of the subjects. The mayor spoke at a workshop in the summer of 2013 about redesigning the river site. Some ideas were about high waterfalls made by man to have more dynamicy, alot of terraces and decks so people can get closer to the river. They are not working with any Landscape Architects just with the town's Architect who says she had some courses of Landscape Architecture, who redesigned some of the parks from the city in a debatable fashion. In this context, the river is at the danger to be dramatically changed and lose its distinctive look and the potential of raising value of the site can be lost.

== Our design objectives ==

Our collaborative design will put forward '''best fit suggestions to help the municipality''', proposing a '''development strategy based on a documentation on the urban context of the river'''. We want to '''give examples''' of good practices and ways of redesigning the river that are '''functional,non-aggressive and sustainable.'''
From our first project discussions we realized the importance of '''involveing local people''', right from the onset of the project. In order to bring back a sense of pride for the river, and get people spending time there again; essentially local people would make a brief for the space, telling us what is really needed.
The objectives raised from this brief are likely to involve '''opening up access to the river,''' and '''creating a range of improved spaces using vegetation''' allowing for a variety of activities, children's play, swimming and bathing, animal watching etc
We would also suggest '''implementations in stages''', so that attention and interest in the river could be built up again, and perhaps to start work where the river meets the city center, and work outwards.

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

<gallery caption="Analytical Drawings " widths="300px" heights="300px" perrow="4">
Image:finalup.jpg|urban context
Image:Beccapanorama.png|Key Point! This area along the river has the potential to be a great meeting point. Ideas have been put forward to turn the old swimming baths in to an architectural school. The combined improvement of this space and the river corridor might being students in to the area, improving a green space that connects with the river and the train line. Trains along the line are slow and infrequent.
Image:Railandriversmall1.png|This map highlights the river within the site, and the naturally occurring islands it makes as the river splits in to two, and then remerges. The map also takes in to account some important social spaces, by the river, and therefore gives us a specific space in the river that could be focused on first.
Image:Smallriverpictures.png|This map is particularly helpful for visualising different elements of river, it highlights different or unique landscape features which could be thought about in the development process.
Image:Exsistingveg1.jpg| This map begins to give us more detail regarding what vegetation types are already existing on the site, and the areas most suitable for bringing people in to the site. Overall these maps hope to help generate answers to the questions: what have we got to work with here, and what elements have potential? What should be hidden or removed? What can be highlighted or enhanced?
Image:Variance1F.jpg| This image is simply to acknowledge the variance and changeable nature of the site, the river has made it's own path, and has carved a route. It is important for us to appreciate this while designing, as the river will alter and adapt over time, and so our designs should accommodate this.
</gallery>

== Projective drawings ==
''These projective drawings and sketches show our collective ideas for improvements to the river, sometimes there are sketches explaining structural hard landscape elements, however the emphasis in on planting design/vegetation aspects.''

<gallery caption="Projective Drawings " widths="280px" heights="280px" perrow="4">
Image:Structure_elements1F.jpg| This projective drawing focuses on where hard elements could be placed within the landscape, it considers new safer ways for people t get on to the site, moving down in someway front he bridges, and overstepping the railway line. This map also suggests a promenade, which should have minimal impact, and not take over too much space from the vegetation. Stepping stones can help improve access to the waterside, and hope to tempt people to cross and move through the river, therefore improving the relation between local people and this very important element in their public landscape. The 'Phase 1' proposition simply acknowledges that introducing many hard elements in to a site like this, should perhaps be done in steps, as huge drastic changes and increase of hard landscape elements disturbs wildlife, and also be unsettling for community member onlookers.
Plan2conceptFin.jpg| Overall this landscape idea uses the concept of "prospect and refuge," showing how different layers of the landscape can provide niche spaces where children might be able to play under shade from the tree canopies, while viewing and having access to the river. The two different layers of the landscape show how just by using vegetation, new "green rooms" can be created, allowing people and and animals to find protective places by the river.
Image:Threesections1F.jpg| These three sections present the importance of variation and diversity of planting, not simply in species, but also in heights and forms. Also how these vegetation types are used: to accentuate the banks or give hiding spaces for wildlife, to give shaded areas, to provide a range of interesting temporal changes over the year for example.
Image:Neiche_spacesF.jpg|Simplistic collage showing "green rooms" in action. Ever child should have the chance to take their shoes off, paddle and clamber over the rocks to the other side! Using nature to exert their confidence, and improve self-reliance, away from their parents on the other side (but still are in a safe and viewable space!)
Image:Suggestions1Fin.jpg| This projective drawing sees the river and the railway and two ''ribbons'' running through the landscape, and then puts forward the concept of the third ''pathway ribbon'' between them. Sections show how these three ''ribbons'' meet, and thinking about how vegetation might work between them.

== Case Studies==
Group discussion lead to us thinking about case studies and instances of successfully designed landscapes that has a similar concept to ours.

<gallery caption="Design Synthesis Drawings" widths="150px" heights="150px" perrow="4">
File:Ribbon2.png| We found this landscape by ''Turnscape'' reflects our overall concept of design a planting scheme which gave people the opportunity to walk alongside the river, taking a journey. We have three ribbons, the river, and railway and a pathway amongst the vegetation. <http://www.archdaily.com/445661/red-ribbon-park-turenscape/>
File:Ribbon1.png|This landscape uses a very bold element of the red "ribbon," running alongside the river. We would not need such a bold fixed element, but the concept is helpful. <http://www.archdaily.com/445661/red-ribbon-park-turenscape/>
</gallery>

==SWOT discussions==
Overall we realized that although we liked our projective ideas, we found in a lot of ways they could be developed, in order to become more detailed and specific. The SWOT analysis made us change a lot of our ideas, and ultimately gave us new and stronger ideas for what we believed should happen to the site.

'''Through our SWOT discussions we found:'''

'''''Strengths'''''

• We found the realism to be attractive, that is to say, we felt that our designs are not too farfetched, they are believable and effective in there simplicity.
• We had a focus on bringing people down to the river, improving planting, access, in order to improve how local people feel about the space.
• Historically as the capital of Romania, there could be a lot of pride reinstated, and an improved water walkway could be just the way to do this! However the walkway could also be a threat!

'''''Weaknesses'''''

• We have decided to highlight both the train line and the river, however this is a threat as some people would find this unsafe, therefor we need to have a plan for making these spaces safer.
• Although community involvement would be a great thing, it would also mean quite heavy reliance on them keeping up maintenance. The site is large, and so more work would be required in to seeing planting selections that perhaps required less maintenance, at least in the more inaccessible areas.
• One weakness in all our ideas could be that they are vague; there is much room for development! We realized that there was only do far we could take this project considering time restraints. We questioned how necessary it would be in this situation to have a full planting plan, or to invite community members to build up the site gradually with guidance.

'''''Opportunities'''''

• We thought about the railway as an opportunity. None of our projective drawings suggested any improvements for safety. So we realized the possibility of making a permeable natural barrier made with climbing plants. This way there is a physical barrier but not a visual barrier, so the train passing is still part of the site. This reminded us slightly of the technical meet vegetated structure we saw in saw in Ferdinand Ludwig’s Seminar. We wanted to bring in this idea of ‘living Structures.’
• We realized one of the strongest opportunities was to intergrade the local community. We thought about how they could get involved if this project were to continue. Perhaps there could be allotments for them, perhaps they could get involved with maintenance and redevelopment of the site.

'''''Threats'''''

• We have tried hard to intergrade all of our ideas, and so far the connected and complimented each other very well. However, we cannot be sure that local people would take to our ideas. For example, the might not like the idea to put in a more mixed assortment of vegetation, they might not like the idea of development at all, worrying that it will bring negative impacts. So, if it were possible to make this design a reality, one thing we would want to do is involve the local community. We would want our planting scheme to be immersive, that is to say that planting arrangements could be managed by groups of local people, and they would also have a say in designing the site.
• The idea of having a walkway through the site works, however after discussion about flooding issues, we agreed that it was best to have a mown path, which can therefore change slightly year to year with changing of the river.
• Another problem with the vegetated path, is that it could easily be wet, and too much of an uneven surface to walk on, we could solve this with under-bedded gravel, that the plants can grow through, in order to be mown in the right places to make a path.
• Community spirit/lack of garden knowledge could be a problem.

== 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.''

== Summary of the collaborative process ==
''Please reflect on your collaborative design process.

''Which potentials have you encountered?''

Choosing a site that no one actualy had alot of knowledge of, was a questionable way to start but our pretty regular online meetings and disscusions solved this issue through alot of questions and debating the pros and cons of the site. We had to change ideas quite a few times but that lead to better understandment of the site and eachother and improved our collaborativeness.

''What was most difficult?''

We had 3 hours time difference so a suitable hour for an online meeting was difficult to find. Also, differences in commitment, and time availability. Different reasons for partaking in the course. We solved this through persevering and being flexible and establishing deadlines and tasks for everyone. We set a goal to send the finished work to people that can actualy use it so this might also helped motivating us.

''What does collaborative design mean for you? (approx 150 words).''''

"In this circumstance I believe that I learned far more about working with a broad range of people, with completely different backgrounds of landscape architecture and cultural connections to planting and nature. Therefore to me, collaborative design means to be aware of all of there differences, to respect them, and put forward your own ideas, and to learn! Truly the journey of collaborating is far more important that the final visual product at the end." Rebecca's answer on this question couldn't capture any better our thoughts on the seminar. :)

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

''Please give a short written argumentation (not more than 150 words). It is ok if you have different or even contradicting objectives within your group. Just make it explicit at the beginning of your process ''

''Radu'' - I came across this site during a workshop I have participated to this summer, in Câmpulung Muscel, Romania. I related to the site almost instantly when I saw its potential of becoming a landmark of Câmpulung Muscel. The unicity it has due to the man-made concrete slopes that frame the river with households on one margin and train rail on the other and the wildness of the plants that grow near the water has charmed me and I am very glad that my team-mates agreed to work on this site. Our objective is not to do a colaborative design that we think should be implemented, but to draw some direction lines that can help the municipiality, maybe, to work on the development strategy based on a documentation on the urban context of the river. We want to give examples of good practices and redesigning the river from the functionability point of view and in a non-aggresive sustainable way.

The river is crossing he city on 7.4 km long way, from North-Est to Suth -West.The city is placed at around 600m above sea level. You can find plants like ''Carpinus betulus, Populus termula, Betula verrucosa, Corylus avellana, Cornus mas, Craetegus monogyna, Rosa cannina, Sambucus nigra, Alnus glutinosa, Salix fragilis, Agrostis , Festuca rubra,''

*'''Cultural features'''
The city has a strong cultural background. It can be found alot of relicvs about the Romanian culture. The soroundings are also rich in culture and history from ancient ruins to beautifull arhitectural monuments. The city can be found in alot of writings from respected Romanian writers. In modern time, the city lost a little of it's charming, romantic features due to the lack of maintenance works. There is no strategy tourism-wie so if people want to find the places that talk about the beautiful history and culture of the places, they will have difficultes in finding these places. '''The Târgului river''' is framed on both sides by houses and railroad. The animals from the households are living freely on the river shore. People are only passing by and they don't have activities related to the river. Tere is no pathway in the area, the vegetation gew freely keeping the people that are passing by on the path near the households.

*'''Overall character'''
Câmpulung Muscel has an impressive built and historical heritage, very diverse and nationally and internationally acknowledged. Approches on reabilitation and recovery of the sites has been given more attention in the alst ew years. The city has evolved due to it's rich heritage and resourses but sadly it's started to be forgotten in the last decades taht lead to it's decay. The landscape, natural values, the tradition should support the future development.

'''History and dynamics'''
Câmpulung Muscel was the first Capital of Romanian Country, from the will of the ruler Basarab the First. The sub-carpathian mountains zone where the city is placed gave great circumstances for the city to evolve and become an impotant economical city. Few decades ago, people used the river site as a recreational area. They were going to take baths in it, the place was having a strong social character. The river changed the most when it was constructed a dam up the river..the building have grow in number closer to the river, he acces to the water was destroyed and the river's course has decreased. This was an important artificial intervention that chaned the river completly. The people link to the river was cut down and the wildness o the vegetation took its course.

*'''Present issues'''
There are some discussions in the town hall about developing of the citz and the river is one of the subjects. The mayor spoke at a workshop in the summer of 2013 about redesigning the river site. Some ideas were about high waterfalls made by man to have more dynamicy, alot of terraces and decks so people can get closer to the river. They are not working with any Landscape Architecs just with the town's Architect who says she had some courses of Landscape Architecture, who redesigned some of the parks from the city in a debadable fashion. In this context, the river is at the danger to be dramatically changed and lose its distinctiv look and the potential of raising value of the site can be lost.

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

''Please give a short written argumentation (not more than 150 words). It is ok if you have different or even contradicting objectives within your group. Just make it explicit at the beginning of your process ''

''Radu'' - I came across this site during a workshop I have participated to this summer, in Câmpulung Muscel, Romania. I related to the site almost instantly when I saw its potential of becoming a landmark of Câmpulung Muscel. The unicity it has due to the man-made concrete slopes that frame the river with households on one margin and train rail on the other and the wildness of the plants that grow near the water has charmed me and I am very glad that my team-mates agreed to work on this site. Our objective is not to do a colaborative design that we think should be implemented, but to draw some direction lines that can help the municipiality, maybe, to work on the development strategy based on a documentation on the urban context of the river. We want to give examples of good practices and redesigning the river from the functionability point of view and in a non-aggresive sustainable way.

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

Please give a short introduction to the site you have selected (not more than 150 words)
* '''''Why did you select it'''?''
I came across this site during a workshop I have participated to this summer, in Câmpulung Muscel, Romania. We were making a landscape observatory in the city and soroundings, making notes of the changes that ahve happened in time. This river is called "Târgului" which means "of the market". It goes through all city from North-Est to South-West. I have selected it because I think it's realy special. Although it's not far from households, the site is very wild. On both sides, two concrete, very regular slopes are framing the river which has a realy curved path, with wild indeginous flower plants and grasses and small islands of gravel. On one side there are households and on the other some traintracks for the goods trains. The site is barely used, mostly by the animals from the households which are free to go to it, but other then that, nobody came across it. The mayor of Campulung Muscel said it's important for hi to develop this area, but his ideas were a it aggresive to the site.
* '''''Is it exemplary for a specific theme or a problem?'''''
I find interesting how a river inside a city is so free and wild and people do not care to tae advantage of this real value.Back in the middle of 20th century people were going to take baths in the river. The problem is how the municipality will develop the site in order to offer walkpaths and recreational spots for people but still keeping this authenticity of wildness and freedom. When you cross the bridges that are over the river it's like you look down on a different site that has nothing to do with the world people are living in.
* '''''In how far does it relate to your life?'''''
Ever since I have discovered this place I felt inlove with it. The freedom and wildness of it charmed me and the future perspectives of the municipality scared me so I think a well documented design can capitalize it's huge potential. I live far from that city but I feel linked to the site and would like to contribute to its development.

== Author's perspective ==
'''''From which professional background/perspective are your documenting this case?'''''

I have finished faculty studies on Landscape Architecture in 2011, at the University of Agriculture Sciences and Veterinary Medicine from Cluj-Napoca , Romania. The same year I started Master's Degree studies in Management of horticultural production in controlled environment until 2013. Since this year I am a Ph.D. student making research in Hydroponic cultures for Medicinal plants.

Between 2011 and 2013 I have worked as a Landscape Architect in a LA company from Cluj-Napoca, Romania. I was the lead designer having projects regarding to private residential spaces, public spaces, parks, and others. Since July 2013 I work as a Landscape Architect as Freelancer.

Since I have started studies in Landscape Architecture I have participated in numerous wrokshops and symphosiums as coordinator or participant.

This case study that I am presenting on this Wiki page is site that I encountered during a workshop I was participating to, making an Observatory project with students from France and Romania.

''Please give a short written argumentation (not more than 150 words). It is ok if you have different or even contradicting objectives within your group. Just make it explicit at the beginning of your process ''
''Radu'' - I came across this site during a workshop I have participated to this summer, in Câmpulung Muscel, Romania. I related to the site almost instantly when I saw its potential of becoming a landmark of Câmpulung Muscel. The unicity it has due to the man-made concrete slopes that frame the river with households on one margin and train rail on the other and the wildness of the plants that grow near the water has charmed me and I am very glad that my team-mates agreed to work on this site. Our objective is not to do a colaborative design that we think should be implemented, but to draw some direction lines that can help the municipiality, maybe, to work on the development strategy based on a documentation on the urban context of the river. We want to give examples of good practices and redesigning the river from the functionability point of view and in a non-aggresive sustainable way.

== 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 ==

*'''Biogeography'''
Câmpulung Muscel is a city formed on both sides of the Târgului River. It's placed at the Sub-Carphatian Mountains. This region was early valued by it's inhabitant, the city growing to be an important econoical center. Here you can find forests, meadows, good rock for expoitation and good soil for growing vegetables. The river is crossing he city on 7.4 km long way, from North-Est to Suth -West.The city is placed at around 600m above sea level. You can find plants like ''Carpinus betulus, Populus termula, Betula verrucosa, Corylus avellana, Cornus mas, Craetegus monogyna, Rosa cannina, Sambucus nigra, Alnus glutinosa, Salix fragilis, Agrostis , Festuca rubra,''

*'''Cultural features'''
The city has a strong cultural background. It can be found alot of relicvs about the Romanian culture. The soroundings are also rich in culture and history from ancient ruins to beautifull arhitectural monuments. The city can be found in alot of writings from respected Romanian writers. In modern time, the city lost a little of it's charming, romantic features due to the lack of maintenance works. There is no strategy tourism-wie so if people want to find the places that talk about the beautiful history and culture of the places, they will have difficultes in finding these places. '''The Târgului river''' is framed on both sides by houses and railroad. The animals from the households are living freely on the river shore. People are only passing by and they don't have activities related to the river. Tere is no pathway in the area, the vegetation gew freely keeping the people that are passing by on the path near the households.

*'''Overall character'''
Câmpulung Muscel has an impressive built and historical heritage, very diverse and nationally and internationally acknowledged. Approches on reabilitation and recovery of the sites has been given more attention in the alst ew years. The city has evolved due to it's rich heritage and resourses but sadly it's started to be forgotten in the last decades taht lead to it's decay. The landscape, natural values, the tradition should support the future development.

'''History and dynamics'''
Câmpulung Muscel was the first Capital of Romanian Country, from the will of the ruler Basarab the First. The sub-carpathian mountains zone where the city is placed gave great circumstances for the city to evolve and become an impotant economical city. Few decades ago, people used the river site as a recreational area. They were going to take baths in it, the place was having a strong social character. The river changed the most when it was constructed a dam up the river..the building have grow in number closer to the river, he acces to the water was destroyed and the river's course has decreased. This was an important artificial intervention that chaned the river completly. The people link to the river was cut down and the wildness o the vegetation took its course.

*'''Present issues'''
There are some discussions in the town hall about developing of the citz and the river is one of the subjects. The mayor spoke at a workshop in the summer of 2013 about redesigning the river site. Some ideas were about high waterfalls made by man to have more dynamicy, alot of terraces and decks so people can get closer to the river. They are not working with any Landscape Architecs just with the town's Architect who says she had some courses of Landscape Architecture, who redesigned some of the parks from the city in a debadable fashion. In this context, the river is at the danger to be dramatically changed and lose its distinctiv look and the potential of raising value of the site can be lost.

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

*'''Biogeography'''
Câmpulung Muscel is a city formed on both sides of the Târgului River. It's placed at the Sub-Carphatian Mountains. This region was early valued by it's inhabitant, the city growing to be an important econoical center. Here you can find forests, meadows, good rock for expoitation and good soil for growing vegetables. The river is crossing he city on 7.4 km long way, from North-Est to Suth -West.The city is placed at around 600m above sea level. You can find plants like ''Carpinus betulus, Populus termula, Betula verrucosa, Corylus avellana, Cornus mas, Craetegus monogyna, Rosa cannina, Sambucus nigra, Alnus glutinosa, Salix fragilis, Agrostis , Festuca rubra,''

*'''Cultural features'''
The city has a strong cultural background. It can be found alot of relicvs about the Romanian culture. The soroundings are also rich in culture and history from ancient ruins to beautifull arhitectural monuments. The city can be found in alot of writings from respected Romanian writers. In modern time, the city lost a little of it's charming, romantic features due to the lack of maintenance works. There is no strategy tourism-wie so if people want to find the places that talk about the beautiful history and culture of the places, they will have difficultes in finding these places. '''The Târgului river''' is framed on both sides by houses and railroad. The animals from the households are living freely on the river shore. People are only passing by and they don't have activities related to the river. Tere is no pathway in the area, the vegetation gew freely keeping the people that are passing by on the path near the households.

*'''Overall character'''
Câmpulung Muscel has an impressive built and historical heritage, very diverse and nationally and internationally acknowledged. Approches on reabilitation and recovery of the sites has been given more attention in the alst ew years. The city has evolved due to it's rich heritage and resourses but sadly it's started to be forgotten in the last decades taht lead to it's decay. The landscape, natural values, the tradition should support the future development.

'''History and dynamics'''
Câmpulung Muscel was the first Capital of Romanian Country, from the will of the ruler Basarab the First. The sub-carpathian mountains zone where the city is placed gave great circumstances for the city to evolve and become an impotant economical city. Few decades ago, people used the river site as a recreational area. They were going to take baths in it, the place was having a strong social character. The river changed the most when it was constructed a dam up the river..the building have grow in number closer to the river, he acces to the water was destroyed and the river's course has decreased. This was an important artificial intervention that chaned the river completly. The people link to the river was cut down and the wildness o the vegetation took its course.

*'''Present issues'''
There are some discussions in the town hall about developing of the citz and the river is one of the subjects. The mayor spoke at a workshop in the summer of 2013 about redesigning the river site. Some ideas were about high waterfalls made by man to have more dynamicy, alot of terraces and decks so people can get closer to the river. They are not working with any Landscape Architecs just with the town's Architect who says she had some courses of Landscape Architecture, who redesigned some of the parks from the city in a debadable fashion. In this context, the river is at the danger to be dramatically changed and lose its distinctiv look and the potential of raising value of the site can be lost.

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

Please give a short introduction to the site you have selected (not more than 150 words)
* '''''Why did you select it'''?''
I came across this site during a workshop I have participated to this summer, in Câmpulung Muscel, Romania. We were making a landscape observatory in the city and soroundings, making notes of the changes that ahve happened in time. This river is called "Târgului" which means "of the market". It goes through all city from North-Est to South-West. I have selected it because I think it's realy special. Although it's not far from households, the site is very wild. On both sides, two concrete, very regular slopes are framing the river which has a realy curved path, with wild indeginous flower plants and grasses and small islands of gravel. On one side there are households and on the other some traintracks for the goods trains. The site is barely used, mostly by the animals from the households which are free to go to it, but other then that, nobody came across it. The mayor of Campulung Muscel said it's important for hi to develop this area, but his ideas were a it aggresive to the site.
* '''''Is it exemplary for a specific theme or a problem?'''''
I find interesting how a river inside a city is so free and wild and people do not care to tae advantage of this real value.Back in the middle of 20th century people were going to take baths in the river. The problem is how the municipality will develop the site in order to offer walkpaths and recreational spots for people but still keeping this authenticity of wildness and freedom. When you cross the bridges that are over the river it's like you look down on a different site that has nothing to do with the world people are living in.
* '''''In how far does it relate to your life?'''''
Ever since I have discovered this place I felt inlove with it. The freedom and wildness of it charmed me and the future perspectives of the municipality scared me so I think a well documented design can capitalize it's huge potential. I live far from that city but I feel linked to the site and would like to contribute to its development.

== Author's perspective ==
'''''From which professional background/perspective are your documenting this case?'''''

I have finished faculty studies on Landscape Architecture in 2011, at the University of Agriculture Sciences and Veterinary Medicine from Cluj-Napoca , Romania. The same year I started Master's Degree studies in Management of horticultural production in controlled environment until 2013. Since this year I am a Ph.D. student making research in Hydroponic cultures for Medicinal plants.

Between 2011 and 2013 I have worked as a Landscape Architect in a LA company from Cluj-Napoca, Romania. I was the lead designer having projects regarding to private residential spaces, public spaces, parks, and others. Since July 2013 I work as a Landscape Architect as Freelancer.

Since I have started studies in Landscape Architecture I have participated in numerous wrokshops and symphosiums as coordinator or participant.

This case study that I am presenting on this Wiki page is site that I encountered during a workshop I was participating to, making an Observatory project with students from France and Romania.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
*''Biogeography, cultural features, overall character, history and dynamics''
* you can keep this short
'''Biogeography'''
Câmpulung Muscel is a city formed on both sides of the Târgului River. It's placed at the Sub-Carphatian Mountains. This region was early valued by it's inhabitant, the city growing to be an important econoical center. Here you can find forests, meadows, good rock for expoitation and good soil for growing vegetables. The river is crossing he city on 7.4 km long way, from North-Est to Suth -West.The city is placed at around 600m above sea level. You can find plants like ''Carpinus betulus, Populus termula, Betula verrucosa, Corylus avellana, Cornus mas, Craetegus monogyna, Rosa cannina, Sambucus nigra, Alnus glutinosa, Salix fragilis, Agrostis , Festuca rubra,''
'''Cultural features'''
The city has a strong cultural background. It can be found alot of relicvs about the Romanian culture. The soroundings are also rich in culture and history from ancient ruins to beautifull arhitectural monuments. The city can be found in alot of writings from respected Romanian writers. In modern time, the city lost a little of it's charming, romantic features due to the lack of maintenance works. There is no strategy tourism-wie so if people want to find the places that talk about the beautiful history and culture of the places, they will have difficultes in finding these places. '''The Târgului river''' is framed on both sides by houses and railroad. The animals from the households are living freely on the river shore. People are only passing by and they don't have activities related to the river. Tere is no pathway in the area, the vegetation gew freely keeping the people that are passing by on the path near the households.
'''Overall character'''
Câmpulung Muscel has an impressive built and historical heritage, very diverse and nationally and internationally acknowledged. Approches on reabilitation and recovery of the sites has been given more attention in the alst ew years. The city has evolved due to it's rich heritage and resourses but sadly it's started to be forgotten in the last decades taht lead to it's decay. The landscape, natural values, the tradition should support the future development.
'''History and dynamics'''
Câmpulung Muscel was the first Capital of Romanian Country, from the will of the ruler Basarab the First. The sub-carpathian mountains zone where the city is placed gave great circumstances for the city to evolve and become an impotant economical city. Few decades ago, people used the river site as a recreational area. They were going to take baths in it, the place was having a strong social character. The river changed the most when it was constructed a dam up the river..the building have grow in number closer to the river, he acces to the water was destroyed and the river's course has decreased. This was an important artificial intervention that chaned the river completly. The people link to the river was cut down and the wildness o the vegetation took its course.
'''Present issues'''
There are some discussions in the town hall about developing of the citz and the river is one of the subjects. The mayor spoke at a workshop in the summer of 2013 about redesigning the river site. Some ideas were about high waterfalls made by man to have more dynamicy, alot of terraces and decks so people can get closer to the river. They are not working with any Landscape Architecs just with the town's Architect who says she had some courses of Landscape Architecture, who redesigned some of the parks from the city in a debadable fashion. In this context, the river is at the danger to be dramatically changed and lose its distinctiv look and the potential of raising value of the site can be lost.

'''CASE A: Gerdab (Gerdab-e Ben, the Ben lagoon) گرداب بِن by Majid Amani Beni'''

''Radu - absent for the pressentation,(feedback based on wiki page) :'' The author pressented an interesting case study that I hadn't any knowledge before. I enjoyed learning about this site. The case was well documented from the cultural point of view but lacks in information about climate and plant species that are relevant for me to fully understand the site characteristics. The analytic drawings demonstrate author's approch in a macro fashion. This could be a good way to undertand the site context but I think he should be more interested in detailed view on the site, too. He didn't upload any projective drawings but from analyzing the analytic drawings I can say that the author want to have a continous tree line and better realtion between the site and soroundings. In my opinion I would try to show more the unicity of the place by treating the site as an oasis in the context of lack of green areas. The lagoon have the potentiol to be highlated because of the plants that are there that seems to be in contrast with soroundings, and this asspects can be more valuable then integrate the site more fluently with the soroundings. This way it can become a interesting site from tourism point o view and a landmark for the region. I encorouge the author to keep documenting about this place because it's an interesting one and should be given more attention from the community.

'''CASE B: Park Angiolina by Leon Plahuta'''

''Radu - absent for the pressentation,(feedback based on wiki page) :'' The author did a complete and very good documentation about his chosen case study. Park Angiolina is world known for its flower borders. I enjoyed reading about whole site and learning important facts about its culture and landscape. The documentation he's done, made a very clear idea about the site and its context. I enjoyed that the author raised some questions and issues about law when it comes to protected areas and how green spaces are degrating in time or how can we conserve the site. This questions can lead to an intersting discussion and raise awerness on this important issues. Even though the author admits his subjectivity on the case he present very relevant information on the site. The analytic drawings are very well done with clear information that puts firmly the site in the urban context and showing the good and bad parts that can imediatly lead to proposals. After this good documentation and analyzing of the site the proposals came naturally. I like the author's perspective on non aggresive interventions that do not change the site characteristics but improve its value through punctual functional proposals that are developing the area of the park.

'''CASE C: MFO-Park by Carolina Esteves Flores'''

''Radu - absent for the pressentation,(feedback based on wiki page) :'' The author presented an interesting case that is meant to show good practices in using an old industrial area and transforming it in a useble, recreational park through planting design. The architects that designed the site used climbers to cover the metal bars from the site. This gave a distinctiv look that quickly became a landmark of the city. The documentation is well done, making clear about the context and the plants that are used. One of the most important fact about this case is that they used a high variability of plant species so the changing of the seansons can realy change the perspectives on the site through the changing colors of the flowers and foliage. The author highlights the iportance of using season changing in your advantage through planting design. The analytic drawings make a clear idea about the context of the site and shows the author's main issue on using plants that give distinct feelings in different seasons. The projective drawings are demonstrating the positive example of "bringing to life old industrial non functional areas", through planting design. The human intervention should only start the natural way of vegetation invading not usable space and creating a very unique site.

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

Please give a short introduction to the site you have selected (not more than 150 words)
* '''''Why did you select it'''?''
I came across this site during a workshop I have participated to this summer, in Câmpulung Muscel, Romania. We were making a landscape observatory in the city and soroundings, making notes of the changes that ahve happened in time. This river is called "Târgului" which means "of the market". It goes through all city from North-Est to South-West. I have selected it because I think it's realy special. Although it's not far from households, the site is very wild. On both sides, two concrete, very regular slopes are framing the river which has a realy curved path, with wild indeginous flower plants and grasses and small islands of gravel. On one side there are households and on the other some traintracks for the goods trains. The site is barely used, mostly by the animals from the households which are free to go to it, but other then that, nobody came across it. The mayor of Campulung Muscel said it's important for hi to develop this area, but his ideas were a it aggresive to the site.
* '''''Is it exemplary for a specific theme or a problem?'''''
I find interesting how a river inside a city is so free and wild and people do not care to tae advantage of this real value.Back in the middle of 20th century people were going to take baths in the river. The problem is how the municipality will develop the site in order to offer walkpaths and recreational spots for people but still keeping this authenticity of wildness and freedom. When you cross the bridges that are over the river it's like you look down on a different site that has nothing to do with the world people are living in.
* '''''In how far does it relate to your life?'''''
Ever since I have discovered this place I felt inlove with it. The freedom and wildness of it charmed me and the future perspectives of the municipality scared me so I think a well documented design can capitalize it's huge potential. I live far from that city but I feel linked to the site and would like to contribute to its development.

== Author's perspective ==
'''''From which professional background/perspective are your documenting this case?'''''

I have finished faculty studies on Landscape Architecture in 2011, at the University of Agriculture Sciences and Veterinary Medicine from Cluj-Napoca , Romania. The same year I started Master's Degree studies in Management of horticultural production in controlled environment until 2013. Since this year I am a Ph.D. student making research in Hydroponic cultures for Medicinal plants.

Between 2011 and 2013 I have worked as a Landscape Architect in a LA company from Cluj-Napoca, Romania. I was the lead designer having projects regarding to private residential spaces, public spaces, parks, and others. Since July 2013 I work as a Landscape Architect as Freelancer.

Since I have started studies in Landscape Architecture I have participated in numerous wrokshops and symphosiums as coordinator or participant.

This case study that I am presenting on this Wiki page is site that I encountered during a workshop I was participating to, making an Observatory project with students from France and Romania.

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

Please give a short introduction to the site you have selected (not more than 150 words)
* '''''Why did you select it'''?''
I came across this site during a workshop I have participated to this summer, in Câmpulung Muscel, Romania. We were making a landscape observatory in the city and soroundings, making notes of the changes that ahve happened in time. This river is called "Târgului" which means "of the market". It goes through all city from North-Est to South-West. I have selected it because I think it's realy special. Although it's not far from households, the site is very wild. On both sides, two concrete, very regular slopes are framing the river which has a realy curved path, with wild indeginous flower plants and grasses and small islands of gravel. On one side there are households and on the other some traintracks for the goods trains. The site is barely used, mostly by the animals from the households which are free to go to it, but other then that, nobody came across it. The mayor of Campulung Muscel said it's important for hi to develop this area, but his ideas were a it aggresive to the site.
* '''''Is it exemplary for a specific theme or a problem?'''''
I find interesting how a river inside a city is so free and wild and people do not care to tae advantage of this real value.Back in the middle of 20th century people were going to take baths in the river. The problem is how the municipality will develop the site in order to offer walkpaths and recreational spots for people but still keeping this authenticity of wildness and freedom. When you cross the bridges that are over the river it's like you look down on a different site that has nothing to do with the world people are living in.
* '''''In how far does it relate to your life?'''''
Ever since I have discovered this place I felt inlove with it. The freedom and wildness of it charmed me and the future perspectives of the municipality scared me so I think a well documented design can capitalize it's huge potential. I live far from that city but I feel linked to the site and would like to contribute to its development.

== Author's perspective ==
'''''From which professional background/perspective are your documenting this case?'''''

I have finished faculty studies on Landscape Architecture in 2011, at the University of Agriculture Sciences and Veterinary Medicine from Cluj-Napoca , Romania. The same year I started Master's Degree studies in Management of horticultural production in controlled environment until 2013. Since this year I am a Ph.D. student making research in Hydroponic cultures for Medicinal plants.

Between 2011 and 2013 I have worked as a Landscape Architect in a LA company from Cluj-Napoca, Romania. I was the lead designer having projects regarding to private residential spaces, public spaces, parks, and others. Since July 2013 I work as a Landscape Architect as Freelancer.

Since I have started studies in Landscape Architecture I have participated in numerous wrokshops and symphosiums as coordinator or participant.

This case study that I am presenting on this Wiki page is site that I encountered during a workshop I was participating to, making an Observatory project with students from France and Romania.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
*'''Biogeography'''
Câmpulung Muscel is a city formed on both sides of the Târgului River. It's placed at the Sub-Carphatian Mountains. This region was early valued by it's inhabitant, the city growing to be an important econoical center. Here you can find forests, meadows, good rock for expoitation and good soil for growing vegetables. The river is crossing he city on 7.4 km long way, from North-Est to Suth -West.The city is placed at around 600m above sea level. You can find plants like ''Carpinus betulus, Populus termula, Betula verrucosa, Corylus avellana, Cornus mas, Craetegus monogyna, Rosa cannina, Sambucus nigra, Alnus glutinosa, Salix fragilis, Agrostis , Festuca rubra, ''

*'''cultural features'''

'''overall character'''
'''history and dynamics'''
* Illustration: Map; sketches; short descriptive analyses

== Analytical drawings ==
''Please add four analytical sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) of your case and take the following aspects into account:''
* ''natural dynamic versus cultural framework - in how far do these two forces come together in your case?''
* ''dynamic through the year (you may imagine how the site looks in spring and summer, maybe you also remember it)''
* ''highlight potentials and problems''

== Projective drawings ==
* ''Please add four projective sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) for your case and take the following aspects into account:''
** ''How would you like this case to change in the near future? (in 1-2 years)''
** ''And how could it look like in 10-15 years?''

== Summary and conclusion ==
''Please summarize your case and give arguments for your projective design (approx 150 words).''

== Image Gallery ==
''You may add a series of images/photos in addition to the sketches/drawings''
