Rationale: Why is this case study interesting?

• Please summarise:- e.g. Design Innovation? Planning Exemplar? Theoretical Insights? Lessons learned from its failure? [It doesn’t have to have been successful]

• Think about it from the view of another educator/student in a different country. Why should I use this case study in my teaching/education?

Author's perspective / Understanding the case study

• What theoretical or professional perspective do you bring to the case study? Please answer from your personal perspective.

The analyses in the Image Gallery are organised so that anyone may undestand, as much as possible,

the global situation and particularly the landscape aspects of the Iza Valley, hopefully.

I have only completed the first part for my diploma (Image Gallery). With your help I hope to

finish what I have started. Good luck to you too. :)
