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

This terrace is situated in San Telmo neighbourhood,Buenos Aires city, Argentina. Buenos Aires is one of the biggest cities in the country, with almost 15 million inhabitants. it´s also increasing its population and many buildings are built. Impervious surfaces are growing every year and flooding is always a risk.

San Telmo neighbourghood is one of the emblematic places in the city because it´s where it was founded and started its urban development. It´s characterized by XIX and early XX century spanish and italian style architecture. As it´s near the port, many factories were established by that time. Nowadays, the use is changing and many factories have closed and new developments are happening. Because of its historical and architectural interest many buildings have been refurbished and have change their use.

This is the case of Canale building that was originally an important cookies factory and now it works as an office building. Another important topic to emphasize is that this building is also infront of an important park in the city, "Lezama Park". This public park is one of the most important public green spaces in the city.

The building architectural design take into account the construction of several terraces in all their seven floors. In order to achieve the objectives of this assignment we decided to work with the terrace located in the 5th floor. It´s placed in a commercial offices floor, so it can be used by workers during luch time or just to have a break during work.

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

To ensure a comfortable space within the city structures that lack open green spaces, we decided to create a green oasis in the form of a roof garden. Two main objectives are :

I. The users are the most important element of any designed space, therefore we decided to create a space where people can stay, relax and enjoy a pleasant view of the garden, instead of the surrounding buildings.

II. Increasing droughts and abundant precipitation are due to disturbed circulation of water in nature. Rainwater doesn't drain through the soil layers during which it purifies and fills underground streams, instead it is collected through the sewer and often insufficiently purified released into natural streams and rivers. This results in groundwater level drop with major impact on plant and animal habitats. Lack of permeable surfaces greatly affects the disorder in climate at the micrlocations, soil dries off and temperatures increase. In order to improve climate condition and reduce the cost of maintenance a green roof is one of the solutions. Rainwater flows through the green roof layers while it purifies and can be collected and stored for future use, watering or use in the building, for example flushing toilets. Roof garden besides providing a place to rest and improvement of vistas from the offices also helps in reduction of cost of heating and cooling the building, improves ecological conditions by becoming a habitat for variouse species of insects and birds.

== Summary of the collaborative process ==

After several proposals what site would be most appropriate for our collaborative design we decided upon Canale building in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Individual analysis of the site and its surroundings, depending on the difference in the approach, led to a more specific analysis of the site's components. Objectives derived from the main problems concerning the site and collaboratively we tried to solve the main issues. It seemed that the main problem was lack of green surfaces around the site and since we decided to make a more comfortable surroundings for the workers of the building the best approach was a green roof. A green roof is not just a place for the workers to rest or enjoy the view from the roof but it also provides a sustainable stormwater management.

A joint proposal that originated from the individual approach consolidates all the ideas into one that provides most comfort for the workers and the environment. The goal of planting design was to create a complexity of visual, tactile and olfactory unity through different colors, textures and smells by using a diversity of plants. Only native species of plants were selected because of their adaptation to the local climate. A diversity of plants would become a habitat or a food source for a variety of insects and birds.
Sustainable management of stormwater through a green roof decreases the amount of stormwater that ends up in the sewer during heavy precipitation and also decreases flood risk. While draining through the soil and other layer on the roof water is purified and can be collected and stored for future use or it can be released into the sewer without the risk of contamination of natural streams and rivers.

Green roof also helps in improving the air quality and presence of plants decreases air temperatures at the site. It also lowers cost for energy needed for heating and cooling the building by maintaining its temperature roughly at a constant without major fluctuations.

At the end we had a good time working together and we learned a lot from each other and from the seminar lecturers. Despite the differences and distance we managed to come to a solution that meets both architectural and landscape objectives.

After several proposals what site would be most appropriate for our collaborative design we decided upon Canale building in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Individual analysis of the site and its surroundings, depending on the difference in the approach, led to a more specific analysis of the site's components. Objectives derived from the main problems concerning the site and collaboratively we tried to solve the main issues. It seemed that the main problem was lack of green surfaces around the site and since we decided to make a more comfortable surroundings for the workers of the building the best approach was a green roof. A green roof is not just a place for the workers to rest or enjoy the view from the roof but it also provides a sustainable stormwater management.
A joint proposal that originated from the individual approach consolidates all the ideas into one that provides most comfort for the workers and the environment. The goal of planting design was to create a complexity of visual, tactile and olfactory unity through different colors, textures and smells by using a diversity of plants. Only native species of plants were selected because of their adaptation to the local climate. A diversity of plants would become a habitat or a food source for a variety of insects and birds.
Sustainable management of stormwater through a green roof decreases the amount of stormwater that ends up in the sewer during heavy precipitation and also decreases flood risk. While draining through the soil and other layer on the roof water is purified and can be collected and stored for future use or it can be released into the sewer without the risk of contamination of natural streams and rivers.
Green roof also helps in improving the air quality and presence of plants decreases air temperatures at the site. It also lowers cost for energy needed for heating and cooling the building by maintaining its temperture roughly at a constant without major fluctuations.
At the end we had a good time working together and we leared a lot from each other and from the seminar lecturers. Dispite the differences and distance we managed to come to a solution that meets both architectural and landscape objectives.

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

This terrace is situated in San Telmo neighbourhood,Buenos Aires city, Argentina. Buenos Aires is one of the biggest cities in the country, with almost 15 million inhabitants. it´s also increasing its population and many buildings are built. Impervious surfaces are growing every year and flooding is always a risk.

San Telmo neighbourghood is one of the emblematic places in the city because it´s where it was founded and started its urban development. It´s characterized by XIX and early XX century spanish and italian style architecture. As it´s near the port, many factories were established by that time. Nowadays, the use is changing and many factories have closed and new developments are happening. Because of its historical and architectural interest many buildings have been refurbished and have change their use.

This is the case of Canale building that was originally an important cookies factory and now it works as an office building. Another important topic to emphasize is that this building is also infront of an important park in the city, "Lezama Park". This public park is one of the most important public green spaces in the city.

The building architectural design take into account the construction of several terraces in all their seven floors. In order to achieve the objectives of this assignment we decided to work with the terrace located in the 5th floor. It´s placed in a commercial offices floor, so it can be used by workers during luch time or just to have a break during work.

'''Building context'''

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

To ensure a comfortable space within the city structures that lack open green spaces, we decided to create a green oasis in the form of a roof garden. Two main objectives are :

I. The users are the most important element of any designed space, therefore we decided to create a space where people can stay, relax and enjoy a pleasant view of the garden, instead of the surrounding buildings.

II. Increasing droughts and abundant precipitation are due to disturbed circulation of water in nature. Rainwater doesn't drain through the soil layers during which it purifies and fills underground streams, instead it is collected through the sewer and often insufficiently purified released into natural streams and rivers. This results in groundwater level drop with major impact on plant and animal habitats. Lack of permeable surfaces greatly affects the disorder in climate at the micrlocations, soil dries off and temperatures increase. In order to improve climate condition and reduce the cost of maintenance a green roof is one of the solutions. Rainwater flows through the green roof layers while it purifies and can be collected and stored for future use, watering or use in the building, for example flushing toilets. Roof garden besides providing a place to rest and improvement of vistas from the offices also helps in reduction of cost of heating and cooling the building, improves ecological conditions by becoming a habitat for variouse species of insects and birds.

== 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.''

== CONCEPT MAP FOR ONLINE SEMINAR ==

The Dutch way of thinking about nature, the role of plants and planting design. Lecture by Jan van Merrienboer and Jeroen de Vries, 6th of November 2013

It´s a very complete concept map, it reflects everything that was told. In order to make it more simple to read, we think it could be simplified. You could also change the size of some important boxes or use different colors.

== CASE C. Kleingärten or (Allotment/Community Garden) Karlsruhe, Deutschland. ==

This case is very well organized. The way you described the context gave us a good idea of what a community garden is and how it is organized. Besides, drawings and text work very well together. You have very good ideas, especially in the way you propose the connection between this kind of gardens and the city.

== CASE B. Over the pond. Tiefenbach, Germany. ==

It´s a very interesting case, especially because it´s a place you could see changing during several years. Drawings are very nice and help understand the site, it´s changes during the year. The idea you propose it´s very interesting, it could help people to understand impacts in a very casual way. Regarding the presence of fertilizers in water, do you think planting design could help its control?

== CASE A. Costa Quebrada. Liencres Cantabria, Spain. ==

Site description is very complete and place seams very interesting for planting design. Sadly, we can´t give feedback on projective ideas, no drawings are shown. You should also check the spelling, some spanish words are in between text.

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==
"This public park is part of the Northern Rio de la Plata coast. It´s landscape design tries to recreate the natural landscape that once existed and now has almost disappeared. Species planted are native, but I believe, in a few number and type. As this place is used by many people, I think it could be a perfect educational spot, where recreation and education would meet."

== Author's perspective ==

I´m a landscape architect, and I also live very close to this place. Taking into consideration the fact that there are just a few public spaces , this park works perfectly. It´s used by many people, specially during weekends. Besides I´m interested in ecosystems restoration, so I think this could be a good place to practice this kind of projects. I think public spaces are good for research, because it could be a way of making people get involved with environment and could help to educate about landscape dynamics related to floodings.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
*''Biogeography, cultural features, overall character, history and dynamics''
This public park, situated by Rio de la Plata Coast is used by people becoming from the neighbourghood surroundings and from Buenos Aires city and suburbs. It is part of a park system that begins in the north of Buenos Aires City and ends in San Isidro completing around 10km. People usually run or ride bycicles and uses this parks as an stop for doing some excersice or having a snak. On weekends, specially those during spring and summer (from september to april), the park is very crowded and cheerful.
This park, as the other many coastal parks in Buenos Aires, was built over where the river originally stood, so soil and vegetation are not part of the natural and original river ecosystem. In this case, river dynamic is very important. Its rices depend basically on which winds are blowing. On one hand, Sudestada occurs in spring and it comes from South East wich alows river to rice and it ussually leads a flooding. On the other hand, Pampero occurs in summer and autumn and runs from the West, it makes the coast look very wide and out of water.

== Summary and conclusion ==

This park is situated at the north of Buenos Aires, by Río de la Plata coast in Argentina. It was designed and constructed about a decade ago. In orden to prevent recurrent floods and later muddy coast, soil was added to increase land level. So the park was design and constructed from scratch and natural landscape was lost. As a public park is very used specially during weekends. Many people go to excersise or have a day in the open space.

River dynamic wasn´t controlled, so floods may occur eventually. I believe this is a great opportunity to explore ecological succession and to try to recreate the original landscape and increase diversity. This could be used as an educational park, where people could learn about nature and landscape. That´s why some places were left for experimental purposes and native trees, shrubs and perennials were added to the present design.

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==
"This public park is part of the Northern Rio de la Plata coast. It´s landscape design tries to recreate the natural landscape that once existed and now has almost disappeared. Species planted are native, but I believe, in a few number and type. As this place is used by many people, I think it could be a perfect educational spot, where recreation and education would meet."

== Author's perspective ==

I´m a landscape architect, and I also live very close to this place. Taking into consideration the fact that there are just a few public spaces , this park works perfectly. It´s used by many people, specially during weekends. Besides I´m interested in ecosystems restoration, so I think this could be a good place to practice this kind of projects. I think public spaces are good for research, because it could be a way of making people get involved with environment and could help to educate about landscape dynamics related to floodings.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
*''Biogeography, cultural features, overall character, history and dynamics''
This public park, situated by Rio de la Plata Coast is used by people becoming from the neighbourghood surroundings and from Buenos Aires city and suburbs. It is part of a park system that begins in the north of Buenos Aires City and ends in San Isidro completing around 10km. People usually run or ride bycicles and uses this parks as an stop for doing some excersice or having a snak. On weekends, specially those during spring and summer (from september to april), the park is very crowded and cheerful.
This park, as the other many coastal parks in Buenos Aires, was built over where the river originally stood, so soil and vegetation are not part of the natural and original river ecosystem. In this case, river dynamic is very important. Its rices depend basically on which winds are blowing. On one hand, Sudestada occurs in spring and it comes from South East wich alows river to rice and it ussually leads a flooding. On the other hand, Pampero occurs in summer and autumn and runs from the West, it makes the coast look very wide and out of water.

On one hand, Sudestada occurs in spring and it comes from South East wich alows river to rice and it ussually leads a flooding. On the other hand, Pampero occurs in summer and autumn and runs from the West, it makes the coast look very wide and out of water.

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==
"This public park is part of the Northern Rio de la Plata coast. It´s landscape design tries to recreate the natural landscape that once existed and now has almost disappeared. Species planted are native, but I believe, in a few number and type. As this place is used by many people, I think it could be a perfect educational spot, where recreation and education would meet."

== Author's perspective ==

I´m a landscape architect, and I also live very close to this place. Taking into consideration the fact that there are just a few public spaces , this park works perfectly. It´s used by many people, specially during weekends. Besides I´m interested in ecosystems regeneration, so I think this could be a good place to practice this kind of projects. I think public spaces are good for research, because it could be a way of making people get involved with environment and could help tu educate about landscape dinamics related to floodings.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
*''Biogeography, cultural features, overall character, history and dynamics''
This public park, situated by Rio de la Plata Coast is used by people becoming from the neighbourghood surroundings and from Buenos Aires city and suburbs. It is part of a park system that begins in the north of Buenos Aires City and ends in San Isidro completing around 10km. People usually run or ride bycicles and uses this parks as an stop for doing some excersice or having a snak. On weekends, specially those during spring and summer (from september to april), the park is very crowded and cheerful.
