Landscape and/or urban context of your case

• Illustration: Map; sketches; short descriptive analyses

In Germany there are different words existing for allotment garden. People call them "Schrebergarten", "Kleingarten", "Laube", "Familiengarten" or "Parzelle". Allotment gardens are small areas of land which can be rent from the responsible organisation. Especially in big cities in Germany it is difficult to get an allotment garden because the demand is extremly high. Renting a garden itself is not very expensive normally. In general there are many allotment gardens next to each other. To avoid disputes among the garden owners, there are regulations on many things like periods of rest for example which tries to make living side-by-side easier. Allotment gardens give the opportunity to people in cities to grow fruits and vegetables on their own, but they are also important for recreation. Some years ago mainly old people rent a garden like this, but since a few years more young people are interested. Allotment gardens are a place for communication and quite often a little pub etc. can be found there, where the people can meet each other. In Germany there are about 1 million allotment gardens. The biggest area is in Ulm, Baden-Württemberg.

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

Analytical drawings

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

Projective drawings

Please add four projective sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes), of course with an emphasis on planting design/vegetation aspects. Every group member needs to contribute at least one drawing representing his/her individual ideas.

Design Synthesis

Please analyse the individual approaches presented so far and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses (you may use the SWOTanalysis 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? What was most difficult? What does collaborative design mean for you? (approx 150 words).

Image Gallery

You may add a series of images/photos in addition to the sketches/drawings
