The site we have selected as a collaborative assignment is the Prahova River Valley, with a considerable smaller region. Mainly the active site for analysis is in direct contact with the Breaza city center. Prahova River has a very long path that stretches from the Carpathian Mounts to Romanian Plain. Breaza City segment that I chose was modified a few years earlier caused by the landslide. The land aspect has been dramatically changed as well as the vegetation and the woodland. The urbanization projects refers to firstly moving the Prahova River underground using tubes (that are on course) and secondly building a suspended highway over the valley (project). Therefore the aesthetic and functional aspect of this valley will change drastically.

* ''Why did you select it?''
The reason I’ve selected is because of the changes that the Prahova Valley suffered in the last 5 years and the accelerated rate of artificial modification of the Valley, mainly on the Breaza City segment. The urbanization projects refers to moving the Prahova River underground using tubes for energy supply. Therefore the aesthetic and functional aspect of this valley will change drastically. Furthermore moving the river underground and also destroying a part of the vegetation in the process changed and continues to change the aspect of the valley in a negative way.
* ''Is it exemplary for a specific theme or a problem?''
The site represents a type of site that was mostly natural, and now that is more and more urbanized. As a result I believe that this case is very interesting for finding the main problems and create a solution that diminishes or solves the issues entirely using planting design.
* ''In how far does it relate to your life?''
Firstly I live in Ploiesti and the Prahova River Valley represented a leisure green space that I used since my childhood for weekend getaways and relaxation. Secondly the urbanization of the Prahova Valley will affect the not only the woodland, but also the leisure functions of the valley.

Landscape and/or urban context of your case

  • Biogeography, cultural features, overall character, history and dynamics
  • you can keep this short

The site we have selected as a collaborative assignment is the Prahova River Valley, with a considerable smaller region. Mainly the active site for analysis is in direct contact with the Breaza city center. Breaza City segment that we chose was modified a few years earlier due to the landslide. The land aspect has been dramatically changed as well as the vegetation and the woodland. Therefore the aesthetic and functional aspect of this valley will change drastically.

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


References

* Please make sure that you give proper references of all external resources used.

* Do not use images of which you do not hold the copyright.

* Please add internet links to other resources if necessary.
