Comment to work of Kassel from Montevideo:
The necessity of food production in a country with limited tillable land makes that a simple rice paddy, being just a cultivable territory, becomes part of the cultural identity of China and transforms itself in a possible target-landscape for the nation.

Comment to work of Tartu from Montevideo:
The Independence Square in Tallinn is a typical example for an urban space with an important history and which needs to connect different parts of the city. As far as society needs a place which represents it, these squares will be part of our future landscape.

=== What is the role of landscape architecture in this project? ===
Comment to work of Kassel from Montevideo:
The Shenyang Architectural University Campus in China is a very good example for the study of a case that soon will be a problem for all the world. Thought in these terms, it is clear that for the concept of landscape the aesthetic component would not be so much important. A landscape architecture ought to redefine its role towards this situation.

Comment to work of Tartu from Montevideo:
Just in September 2010 a group of architects won the architectural competition for the redesign of our Independence Square in Montevideo. Citizens of Montevideo are now looking at the plans. And many people say: Who did ask us what we wanted?
And we ask you, if the problems with the Statue of Liberty in the Square of Tallinn did not happen because people were not consulted before the redesign. Maybe the role of a landscape architect in such a project should consider the public consultation like in the Punta Yeguas Park.

== Synthesis and Outlook ==

''When we had to face the issue of future landscapes, we tried to identify first the changes, or what we also can call the new challenges. Then we indicated how the landscape reacted facing all these challenges. With all these inputs we illustrated how our future landscape should be. This helped us to make the conclusions after our three case studies (concept map).

The case studies we show, do not represent exactly the future landscapes we desire, because they do not represent all the aspects we are looking for, such as economical, natural, aesthetic, cultural, rural, and so on.

We selected each case, because we think that every case represents a very important issue to integrate in future landscape planning:

In Punta Yeguas Park: the active participation of citizens in the planning of landscape

In Shenyang Campus: the focus on survival issue

In the Square of Tallinn: the importance of cultural heritage ''

=== Core Question 1: In how far does this project reveal your concept of future landscapes? ===

The Uruguayan economy depends mainly on their natural resources, but in turn it is trying to maintain the objective of Uruguay "Natural Country".
The pressure on the natural environment of Montevideo is given by the invasion of different economic activities and by population concentration. A clear example of this situation is its coastline: a great urbanization has taken place in its 22 km, which is making pressure on the more natural western coastland with the invasion of different economical activities.
The area of Punta Yeguas Park shows an edge where city and nature meet each another.
Since more than ten years a group of local people is working for protecting this area from devastation. 2006 the Council of Montevideo expropriated this area from private hands to destiny it as a public park and local people work for the design and the managing of the park.
With the work of local people, who feel indentified with the environment, this project can mean the correct implementation of biological, infrastructural and cultural topics in a territory. A project,which will be easily managed in future, because it is sustained by its own people.

'''Comments from kassel university:'''

As a typical case for landscape of the tourist town, Punta Yeguas Park is regarded as the most important and potential resource for local development. For these places, the natural park or national park is a normal way as a trend for the future landscape. In Europa, we can also see lots of same examples such as in Italy and Greece. These towns or cities own fantastic coastline, rich forest and green area. The protecting the landscape, promoting the tourism, building the comprehensive system, controlling the private hands and improving the environment protection belong to these concepts of landscape development. The Punta Yeguas Park is representative case in South American. Depending on own natural resources is the best way for the future landscape development.

'''Comments from Tartu Group 3:'''

The positive side about the future of the area is that it is maintained by the people living nearby - that gives the area a better maintenance and probably people use it more often, too. Secondly, the different possibilities for people to use it (sporting routes, cultural center etc) make it more attractive and people use the area more.

=== Landscape and/or urban context===
*Biogeography, cultural features, overall character, history and dynamics

Illustration:
Map; sketches; short descriptive analyses

The Punta Yeguas Park is an area of 103 hectares on the coast of the River Plate between the settlement Santa Catalina and the stony border of Punta Yeguas.
The principal landscape feature of this zone is that it looks like a rolling plain with a smooth slope from the route till the coast. On the River Plate are consecutives beaches of dunes of sand, with some prairies and small forests on the top, a some wetland and a stream. The vegetation has different types of forest, indigenous and imported. The vegetation of important size are mostly pines and eucalyptus, both exotic. This park is part of an eco-region with diversity of fish and invertebrates, as well as important mammal and bird colonies.

=== Cultural/social/political context===
*Brief explanation of culture, political economy, legal framework

Illustration:
Bullet points, image, background notes

According to the legal framework of the “POT” (Plan de Ordenamiento Territorial de Montevideo), this zone is included as an “Area of Environmental Recover” (Área de Recuperación Ambiental).
This area was in private hands till 2006, exposed to devastation. The owners extracted sand in excess, not taking into account the legal framework that protects the ecosystem in the region. Simultaneously the forest was being destructed because of the commercialization of wood.
People of the environment felt identified with this particular coast side, and felt that is was losing its natural features. The settlements of Western Montevideo are mostly poor and many of them are situated in illegal properties. So they put them self together, but had no economical recourses to manage the situation.
Finally they integrated a representative group of Western Montevideo, so that they could handle and come to an agreement with the Council of Montevideo: In the year 2006, the Council began to expropriate this area from private hands for the destiny of a public park.
Still then and till today they are working for this park trying to achieve their goals.

=== Spatial analysis of area/project/plan===
*What are the main structural features?
*How has it been shaped? Were there any critical decisions?

Illustration: Map/diagram/sketches photos and background notes

As the project aims to promote the general natural features of the western Coastline, the infrastructure proposed for the area has to respect present landmarks and the biological components. It has been shaped to give more value to nature.

=== Analysis of program/function ===
* What are the main functional characteristics?
* How have they been expressed or incorporated?
Illustration: Map/diagram/sketches photos and background notes

Goals of the plan(1):
- recover a collective space for the city, managed by the neighbors.

- integrate recreational and cultural activities with the natural features of the coast, the sighting of birds

- create social responsibility on the use of space, its flora and fauna.

The planning is based in a zoning of the different activities: camping, sports, a cultural center with the possibility for a museum, a multi center, an information center.
The necessary infrastructures imply paths for walking, jogging and cycling, lighting, signaling the services offered in the area, and the identification of the different vegetation, among others.

(1)Seminario Taller Parque Público Punta Yeguas, 2007

=== Analysis of design/planning process ===
* How was the area/project/plan formulated and implemented?
*Were there any important consultations/collaborations?
Illustration: Map/diagram/sketches photos and background notes

The design process is the result of the dynamic teamwork of the people of the neighborhood, with the collaboration of professional of the council and other volunteers. The planning method used was “Participatory planning for scenarios formalized with planning management” by the project PPGA (Planificación Participativa y Gestión Asociada) from FLACSO (Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales).
But the focus of the problem is just the area of Punta Yeguas. It is necessary to overview the connection with the rest of western coastline to have a harmonious interrelationship with other structural elements of the territory.

=== Analysis of use/users ===
* How is the area/project/plan used and by whom?
* Is the use changing? Are there any issues?
Illustration: Map/diagram/sketches photos and background notes

The area is used mainly by the local population, but in the summer people arrive from all Montevideo. The different offers of sports, the recreation possibilities and the natural sight, makes the place very attractive.

=== Core Question 2: What is the role of landscape architecture in this project? ===

A territory suffers the tensions of different agents: The future landscape depends of the regards of local people and what they expect for their landscape, the benefits of the government and global economical interests. The results of this pressure will have different consequences, which have to be considered by a landscape planner.
According to Thomas Sieverts (1997) “the protection of nature is essential in order to retain the “historical” nature as an object of living experience in the city”.
In this project a landscape planner has an ethical debt to support and promote local people who are working hard for managing their natural environment. But as a part of an eco-region an integrated design of this park to the rest of the coast and the rural district is necessary and possibilities a continuum with the rest of the coast. This makes possible different lectures (esthetic, cultural, economical) of Montevideo’s coastline, with a gradual transformation from urban to rural and natural backgrounds.
The combination of the professional vision of landscape planner with the aspirations of social groups, the knowledge of the legal framework and the ecological conditions of the coast are the clues to find the necessary links between nature and urbanism.

'''Comments from kassel university:'''

In this case, landscape is regarded as the important economical benefit through the tourism. the project is marked by the natural resources, which combine with the local culture, history, social aspects. The local people also play a main role in promoting the sustainable development. The other important point of this project is the park as a part of eco-region, which is good way for the future landscape. This project shows a good relationship between nature and urbanism.

'''Comments from Tartu Group 3:'''

In this project they have created different possibilities for people to spend their spare time. At the same time, they have promoted general natural resources of the coastline and retained the previously existing landmarks as well as the biological components.

=== Core Question 1: In how far does this project reveal your concept of future landscapes? ===

The key word of the concept for Shenyang Architectural University Campus is productive landscape, which is a efficient and economical land use. Under the reducing arable lands and increasing of population in world, the future landscape should be more efficient and economical. The concept of landscape should be regarded as a good way to solve the problems during the developing process. The vision of future landscapes will be always concerned with the relationship between nature and people.

'''Comments from Tartu Group 3:'''

Although the rural land in China is shrinking and it is very important to use the land as practically as possible, we find that the landscapes should be a combination of efficient, economical and also aesthetic.

=== Landscape and/or urban context===
*Biogeography, cultural features, overall character, history and dynamics

In March of 2002, the Shenyang City in North China’s Liaoning Province commissioned the designer to create a new, 80 hectares suburban campus for Shenyang Architectural University. The campus was built in the suburbs. The project is one part of the campus at the southwest of the campus, with an area of 3 hectares.
The proposed campus was originally a rice field. The rice from here is known for high quality, because of the cool climate and its longer growing season. The soil quality is good and a viable agricultural irrigation system was still in place.

=== Cultural/social/political context===
*Brief explanation of culture, political economy, legal framework

Landscape architects must think about the issues of food production and sustainable land use, two of the biggest current issues in China. The arable lands are shrinking due to the rapid urbanization process in China. The valuable and limited resources should be used efficiently. With the developmet towards urbanization, foodproduction landscapes in the country have come under increasing pressure. This project can help make clear the connection between productive agriculture and urban existence.

=== Spatial analysis of area/project/plan===
*What are the main structural features?

The campus is not only designed to be a campus with small open platforms, spanning the landscape, the campus is also a completely functional rice paddy, complete with its own system of irrigation. Other native crops, such as buckwheat grow in rotation across the campus, annually. Native plants line pathways. Students participate in the sustainable development and food production. Student participation become part of the productive landscape. The farming processes can potentially become a laboratory for students and the faculty as well. Rice paddy became an university icon. The rice produced on the campus as new image of university campus. The project suggests a new form of hybrid landscape that could sustain traditional food production and supporting new uses.

*How has it been shaped? Were there any critical decisions?

This project shows how agricultural landscape can become part of the urbanized environment and how cultural identity can be created through an ordinary productive landscape. This project seeks to use rice, native plants and crops to keep the landscape productive while also fulfilling its new role as an environment for learning.
The utterly new campus landscape of Shenyang Architectural University was designed with rice and native crops and plants. By doing this, the campus became a unique environment for the students to learn not only from the book, but from the nature and agriculture. Materials and trees from the old campus were reused in this new campus. The natural and agricultural processes and the process of history become part of the studying of the students.

=== Analysis of program/function ===
* What are the main functional characteristics?

The concept of this design seeks to use rice, native plants and crops to
# Keeping the landscape productive
# Fulfilling its new role as an environment for learning.
# Providing a well compus environment for the students and faculties.For that, the gridded campus landscape is a totally functional rice paddy, complete with its own irrigation system. Other native crops, such as buckwheat, can also be grown in rotation and native plants line the pathways.

* How have they been expressed or incorporated?

The way of design expression:

# Extensive use of rice and local crops, native wild plants (such as Polygonum, Populus) as the landscape of the base, show site features.
# Convenient road network system. Comply with the latest line from the two rules, with the straight road connecting dormitories, canteens, classrooms and laboratories, the formation of green space and gardens across the rice paddies and convenient road network.
# By recycling old things, establishing the links between old and new school. The old campus of the post, stone thrust, floor tiles and trees incorporated into the new campus environment.

Illustration: Map/diagram/sketches photos and background notes

The overwhelming urbanization process in China is inevitably encroaching upon a large portion of China’s arable lands. With a population of 1.3 billion people, but with only 18% arable land, China is in danger of using up one of its very valuable and limited resources.

=== Analysis of design/planning process ===
* How was the area/project/plan formulated and implemented?

The project finished in a short time, just one year. And these are the important things for implementing:

# The productive campus rice paddy: not only designed to be a campus with small open platforms, spanning the landscape, the campus is also a completely functional rice paddy, complete with its own system of irrigation.
# Other native crops, such as buckwheat grow in rotation across the campus, annually. Native plants line pathways.

*Were there any important consultations/collaborations?

The project is just designed by Turenscape working with the graduate school of landscape architecture at Beijing University。

Illustration: Map/diagram/sketches photos and background notes

The design had to contend with the following existing site conditions and budgetary limitations:

# '''Former agricultural use:''' the new site for the proposed campus was originally a rice field, the origin of the famous “Northeast Rice,” known for high quality due to cool climate and its longer growing season than the those from the southern China (one single crop of rice in this area will last from the mid May till the end of October, while in south China it can only last 100 days, this is one reason that rice can be used as a landscaping material). The soil quality was good and a viable agricultural irrigation system was still in place.
# '''Small budget:''' only about one US dollars per square meter was allocated for landscaping. Most of the budget funded the design and construction of 320,000 sq m of new university buildings.
# '''Short timeline:''' the university required the design to be developed and implemented within one year. Classes were expected to begin in the fall semester of 2003.

=== Analysis of use/users ===
* How is the area/project/plan used and by whom?

This area are used by both students and faculty for reading, relaxing and communicating.The productive aspect of the landscape draws both students and faculty into the dialogue of sustainable development and food production.

* Is the use changing? Are there any issues?

In the productive landsacpe,it grows the Golden Rice ,and the Golden Rice became an university icon: the rice produced on the campus is harvested and distributed as “Golden Rice,” serving both as a keepsake for visitors of the school, and also as a source of identity forthe newly established, suburban campus. But perhaps most importantly of all, the widespread distribution of “GoldenRice” could raise awareness of new hybrid landscape solutions that could both continue old, yet crucial uses suchas food production, while supporting new uses, such as the education of China’s new architects.

=== Core Question 2: What is the role of landscape architecture in this project? ===

This project demonstrates how agricultural landscape can become part of the urbanized environment and how cultural identity can be created through an ordinary productive landscape.
The overwhelming urbanization of China is encroaching upon much arable land. With a population of 1.3 billion people and limited tillable land, food production and sustainable land use is a survival issue that landscape architects must address.

'''Comments from Tartu Group 3:'''

Today, it is a landscape architect’s task in China to save the land suitable for food production. We think that with this particular project in Shenyang Architectural University in Northern China they have done a great job combining urban landscape with rural one and creating a relationship between human and nature. It is also good that both sides take advantage of it, for example the students can go outside during the brakes to read, communicate with friends or relax, further on, they can use that landscape for learning how to grow rice – they become part of the productive landscape. In addition, the recreational area around the school is used for growing rice, which looks very attractive and produces food as well. In conclusion, they have supported the traditional food production as well as the new uses of the landscape. This landscape is a good example of how agricultural landscape becomes part of an urbanized environment. In addition, this project shows how cultural identity can be created by an ordinary productive landscape, a rice-field.

=== How shall we view landscape design in these modern times or in future facing new colleagues? ===

Landscape is not just the thing about aesthetics,it should be a field we should pay attentation to the living survival,together with local culture.

=== Core Question 1: In how far does this project reveal your concept of future landscapes? ===

The key word of the concept for Shenyang Architectural University Campus is productive landscape, which is a efficient and economical land use. Under the reducing arable lands and increasing of population in world, the future landscape should be more efficient and economical. The concept of landscape should be regarded as a good way to solve the problems during the developing process. The vision of future landscapes will be always concerned with the relationship between nature and people.

'''Comments from Tartu Group 3:'''

Although the rural land in China is shrinking and it is very important to use the land as practically as possible, we find that the landscapes should be a combination of efficient, economical and also aesthetic.

=== Core Question 1: In how far does this project reveal your concept of future landscapes? ===
Life in the city is changing as well as the purpose of different landscapes in it. City squares are a nodal point where people do not walk only one way or another, they form their own routes – they have more opportunities, more freedom to do it. The squares are becoming more important for people to entertain themselves and get positive emotions. It does not mean that the squares lose their usage as markets or gathering places, but emphasis is slowly moving from one to another.

=== Landscape and/or urban context===
*Biogeography, cultural features, overall character, history and dynamics

After the walls of Tallinn bastion were demolished and the dikes were softened in 18th century, the area was at first known as Heinaturg (a Hay Market). In 1875 it became Peetri plats (Peter’s square), where they placed a statue in 1910 for Peter I. In 1922 the government of the Republic of Estonia removed the statue and in 1923 it became the Square of Independence (Vabaduse väljak).
Today it is a representative square in Tallinn situated between Jaani church and Harju hill. The area is 2,3 ha big, it’s purpose is to be a representative main square of Tallinn as well as a part of recreational and green zone around the old town of Tallinn. It is opened and available for all the inhabitants of the city, visitors and tourists. Under the square there is a 400-place parking lot.

The architects have designed a square that considers the historical architectural heritage, typology of the ground and future perspectives. The most important reason for building the square is to continue the net of green and recreational areas that are situated in the old bastions of the city wall.

=== Cultural/social/political context===
*Brief explanation of culture, political economy, legal framework
As a fortress surrounded by a wall Tallinn is a medieval legacy. Tallinn became an industrial city in Czarist Russia in the 20th century, and in 1920 the capital of the Republic of Estonia. The city started to develop behind the city walls and they were demolished. In 2006 when Tallinn could become the Cultural Capital of Europe the creation of a representative city square became more important.

=== Spatial analysis of area/project/plan===
*What are the main structural features?
*How has it been shaped? Were there any critical decisions?

Plan provides estate connecting ranging between the Vabaduse square Kaarli avenue and bastion wall. An open city square and underground parking will be built on the estate. In addition to the parking below ground there will also be a large commercial area with pedestrian tunnel, which can be accessed from a spacious stairway constructed on Vabaduse square. With constructing the underground parking lot Vabaduse square becomes the State Office Square and the pedestrian area is suitable for the capital. New Square is deflected around the bastion and combines so far scattered urban space elements with cityscape as a whole. Vabaduse Square has no longer very clear boundaries, they are distributed.

=== Analysis of program/function ===
* What are the main functional characteristics?
* How have they been expressed or incorporated?

So that the space would be perceived the edges are marked with the various architectural elements - high lamp posts, colored glass walls, massive guards ... but they are half-transparent, allowing the simultaneous presence of several different spaces.

=== Analysis of design/planning process ===
* How was the area/project/plan formulated and implemented?
*Were there any important consultations/collaborations?

The architectural competition to the area has been held a few times before the project that was finally built was chosen. The last competition, that ended in 1998 had given a very good project, but as there was no political will, the project was never put into practice. In 2011 Tallinn is going to be the Cultural Capital of Europe, there was a political will, and in 2006 another competition for designing the square was announced. In 2008 they published the winner and it was OÜ Alver Trummal Arhitektid who had evolved the work that won in 1998. The purpose of the new design was to connect the different important parts around the square and make them cooperative, a new synergy-creating system.

=== Analysis of use/users ===
* How is the area/project/plan used and by whom?
* Is the use changing? Are there any issues?

The area is used by a lot of citizens, visitors and tourists. The Statue of Liberty that is situated in the Northern part of the square is a popular sight in Tallinn among tourists from Estonia as well as from foreign countries. The square was opened on the 20th August 2009 (that is the re-independence day in Estonia) and since then there has been a lot of actions going on – an extreme sports competition, a street basketball competition, movie nights, a party celebrating the 1st of September and the Independence Day Parade was held there on the 24th February 2010.

Since the Statue of Liberty on the Vabaduse väljak (the Independence square) was opened there has been problems with it (for example some of the glass-panels have been changed a few times) and it has given the statue a bit bad reputation among people.

=== Core Question 2: What is the role of landscape architecture in this project? ===

The role of landscape architecture in this project is the purpose of the square and the buildings around it – the square is presenting them (the square connects two very important churches in Estonia). It is possible to describe a square with the buildings that are surrounding it or different views that open to people when they are on it. When it comes to this particular square, Vabaduse väljak, you could say that it has no definite borders as it is situated in the middle of the city, but the architects have tried to give the borders by placing lamp posts to one side and a colorful wall to the other to make the space more obvious and bring it out a bit more. In addition, there are some constructions on the square that match the environment and typology and develop it.

It does not mean that the squares lose their usage as markets or gathering places, but emphasis is slowly moving from one to another.

=== Landscape and/or urban context===
*Biogeography, cultural features, overall character, history and dynamics

After the walls of Tallinn bastion were demolished and the dikes were softened in 18th century, the area was at first known as Heinaturg (a Hay Market). In 1875 it became Peetri plats (Peter’s square), where they placed a statue in 1910 for Peter I. In 1922 the government of the Republic of Estonia removed the statue and in 1923 it became the Square of Independence (Vabaduse väljak).
Today it is a representative square in Tallinn situated between Jaani church and Harju hill. The area is 2,3 ha big, it’s purpose is to be a representative main square of Tallinn as well as a part of recreational and green zone around the old town of Tallinn. It is opened and available for all the inhabitants of the city, visitors and tourists. Under the square there is a 400-place parking lot.

The architects have designed a square that considers the historical architectural heritage, typology of the ground and future perspectives. The most important reason for building the square is to continue the net of green and recreational areas that are situated in the old bastions of the city wall.

=== Cultural/social/political context===
*Brief explanation of culture, political economy, legal framework
As a fortress surrounded by a wall Tallinn is a medieval legacy. Tallinn became an industrial city in Czarist Russia in the 20th century, and in 1920 the capital of the Republic of Estonia. The city started to develop behind the city walls and they were demolished. In 2006 when Tallinn could become the Cultural Capital of Europe the creation of a representative city square became more important.

=== Spatial analysis of area/project/plan===
*What are the main structural features?
*How has it been shaped? Were there any critical decisions?

Plan provides estate connecting ranging between the Vabaduse square Kaarli avenue and bastion wall. An open city square and underground parking will be built on the estate. In addition to the parking below ground there will also be a large commercial area with pedestrian tunnel, which can be accessed from a spacious stairway constructed on Vabaduse square. With constructing the underground parking lot Vabaduse square becomes the State Office Square and the pedestrian area is suitable for the capital. New Square is deflected around the bastion and combines so far scattered urban space elements with cityscape as a whole. Vabaduse Square has no longer very clear boundaries, they are distributed.

=== Analysis of program/function ===
* What are the main functional characteristics?
* How have they been expressed or incorporated?

So that the space would be perceived the edges are marked with the various architectural elements - high lamp posts, colored glass walls, massive guards ... but they are half-transparent, allowing the simultaneous presence of several different spaces.

=== Analysis of design/planning process ===
* How was the area/project/plan formulated and implemented?
*Were there any important consultations/collaborations?

The architectural competition to the area has been held a few times before the project that was finally built was chosen. The last competition, that ended in 1998 had given a very good project, but as there was no political will, the project was never put into practice. In 2011 Tallinn is going to be the Cultural Capital of Europe, there was a political will, and in 2006 another competition for designing the square was announced. In 2008 they published the winner and it was OÜ Alver Trummal Arhitektid who had evolved the work that won in 1998. The purpose of the new design was to connect the different important parts around the square and make them cooperative, a new synergy-creating system.

=== Analysis of use/users ===
* How is the area/project/plan used and by whom?
* Is the use changing? Are there any issues?

The area is used by a lot of citizens, visitors and tourists. The Statue of Liberty that is situated in the Northern part of the square is a popular sight in Tallinn among tourists from Estonia as well as from foreign countries. The square was opened on the 20th August 2009 (that is the re-independence day in Estonia) and since then there has been a lot of actions going on – an extreme sports competition, a street basketball competition, movie nights, a party celebrating the 1st of September and the Independence Day Parade was held there on the 24th February 2010.

Since the Statue of Liberty on the Vabaduse väljak (the Independence square) was opened there has been problems with it (for example some of the glass-panels have been changed a few times) and it has given the statue a bit bad reputation among people.

=== Core Question 2: What is the role of landscape architecture in this project? ===

The role of landscape architecture in this project is the purpose of the square and the buildings around it – the square is presenting them (the square connects two very important churches in Estonia). It is possible to describe a square with the buildings that are surrounding it or different views that open to people when they are on it. When it comes to this particular square, Vabaduse väljak, you could say that it has no definite borders as it is situated in the middle of the city, but the architects have tried to give the borders by placing lamp posts to one side and a colorful wall to the other to make the space more obvious and bring it out a bit more. In addition, there are some constructions on the square that match the environment and typology and develop it.

=== Core Question 1: In how far does this project reveal your concept of future landscapes? ===
Life in the city is changing as well as the purpose of different landscapes in it. City squares are a nodal point where people do not walk only one way or another, they form their own routes – they have more opportunities, more freedom to do it. The squares are becoming more important for people to entertain themselves and get positive emotions. It does not mean that the squares lose their usage as markets or gathering places, but emphasis is slowly moving from one to another.

Triinorav: /* Estonian University of Life Sciences, Tartu */

'''[http://draco.hfwu.de/~wikienfk5/index.php/Assignments_Seminar_Concepts_of_Landscape_2010 Back to Assignments]'''

== Task ==

'''Assigned: Tuesday, October 19'''

'''Due: Monday, Nov. 8 / Nov. 15 for Kassel students'''

The pictures you have made for assignment 1 gave a brief overview of the landscape of your university town. In a second step you will now take a closer look to get a more in depth understanding of the current landscape. To start your documentation and interpretation, walk a complete transect from the city/town center to the edge of the settlement and examine what you see. Explore and analyze your landscape transect by making notes, taking pictures, and ‐ very important ‐ make video clips that document your walk. This can be done with a video camera or with the video function of your photo camera.

Beside a visual documentation, further background information is necessary, for example about ecological, social, cultural and economic aspects, design interventions, etc. which you can’t get with a visual examination only. Looking back into the past of the landscape gives you additional insight into how and why the landscape has transformed over time. Review relevant literature about this
landscape, browse the www, talk to people living in the area, etc.

Create 1) '''a video''' and 2) '''a presentation (ppt or similar)''' that can illustrate the findings of exploration.
Together these two inputs should clearly address the current state of the landscape, its change over time and an outlook to the future. Don’t be just descriptive. Analyse and comment what challenges this landscape faced over time and faces today. How did landscape architecture address them in the past, what approaches seem necessary for the future?

The video will document the most important and informative parts of your transect walk. Use maps, sections, diagrammatic drawings and other forms of documentation and interpretation in your ppt then to underline your analysis and findings. Include written comments on your presentation slides so that they are also understandable without your oral input.

'''Literature:'''

As a major reference for your analysis look at the following book:

*Corner, James; MacLean, Alex S. 1996. [http://moodle.hfwu.de/moodle/file.php/94/Literature/CornerMacLean_1996_small.pdf "Taking measures across the American landscape".] New Haven, Conn.: Yale Univ. Press.

'''Deliverables:'''

*'''7-10 minutes video'''
The video has to be uploaded on youtube by '''Nov. 8 (Nov. 15 for Kassel students)'''. Each student group is responsible to establish a '''youtube account''' and provide the whole seminar group with the internet address of the video as demonstrated among "Assignments" AND additionally send the link to '''Heike heike.kaiser(at)gmail.com''' for illustration on seminar presentation slides

''Please be aware:'' Uploading a video file of 10 minutes length can take up to a day! So take care to have your video done early enough to have it uploaded on time!

*'''5 minutes presentation'''
including maps, sections, diagrams, pictures, etc.; include written comments on your presentation slides!
Please send your presentation (as ppt.zip or pdf) to '''Ellen ellen.fetzer(at)hfwu.de''' by '''Nov. 8 (Nov. 15 for Kassel students)'''.

'''Evaluation criteria:'''
*50% Content: depth of analysis and reflection; clearly communicated findings, creativity in the process of analysis, delivery of products assigned;
*25% Communication of content: ability of the video and presentation to illustrate the major aspects of the analysis; structure/logical flow, written and spoken language;
*25% Graphic quality: visual quality, organization, cohesiveness of layout, craftsmanship.

Hello.
We uploaded our video on youtube, but we have a problem. What should we do if youtube.com says that our video is not available for seeing in the US? It is probably so because of the music
