Core Question 1: In how far does this project reveal your concept of future landscapes?
This project, with all it´s faults , reveals our concept of future landscape in the meaning that it attempts to articulate diverse interests, sometimes conflicting (economic interests and socio-cultural) and different actors (public and private) in order to achieve the common good: that is negotiate for (re)build a public place and an emblematic landscape: Montevideo´s bay, part of our collective heritage, today degraded and submitted to diverse pressures. What is valued as interesting of this project is not it´s formalization or design (which is preliminary and very general), but what underlies, which is it´s intention of solving contradictions, the channelling of the multiple and opposite interests in a balanced way and also the challenges that faces: the diversity of scales that are at stake, the pollution that should be reverted and the lack of biodiversity. The landscape of future, in an increasing complexity context, should be constructed on the base of a negotiation with nature (human and not human nature) and from a deep knowledge of our environment with the aim to reach a balanced and sustainable development. That is, landscape should be conceived, even in the smallest actions, as the legacy of our time for the future generations.
Landscape and/or urban context
- Biogeography, cultural features, overall character, history and dynamics
Illustration: Map; sketches; short descriptive analyses
Cultural/social/political context
- Brief explanation of culture, political economy, legal framework
Illustration: Bullet points, image, background notes
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
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
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
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
Core Question 2: What is the role of landscape architecture in this project?
