Landscape and/or urban context of your case
- The increasing urbanization and associated green spaces displacement enhances the desire for more plants in the city centres.
In several studies there was investigated that people can experience significant psychological improvements in greener cities. Green spaces improve the well-being, health and mental health of people in cities. The people in the town center of Landshut are still plagued by a green poverty, not only by urbanization, but especially by their history. Landshut is an old historical Bavarian city, located in the Isar valley at the beginning of a range of hills, embedded in the rural nature with forests, meadows and the river Isar. In 2004 , the city of Landshut was eight hundred years old. So Landshut has a medieval city center, which is nearby the river Isar and under the castle Trausnitz with the court garden. Formerly this park was the garden of the castle. Castles and monasteries have always had a vegetable garden with fruit trees, vegetables and wine. Basically medieval towns had very little green in the city center, because the center was only a place of action and sales. Thus cultivated plantings were reserved for the nobility or the monks. Gardens in city backyards were quite rare, too. Otherwise you could find agriculture outside the city. In the transition to modern times, the middle class got rid of the tutelage by the nobility and was culture- determining. So the court garden was formed in 1837 to a public park. However, new plantings in the town centre were very rare to obtain the characteristics of the medieval city.
landscape and urban context
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
planning with different backgrounds
Analytical drawings
Please add four analytical sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) of your case. Every group member needs to contribute at least one drawing.
- Analytical Drawings
analytical drawing parking zone
- Yourfilename2.jpg
analytical drawing Narrow Alleys
analytical drawing shopping zone
- Yourfilename4.jpg
analytical drawing 4
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.
- Projective Drawings
- Yourfilename1.jpg
projective drawing 1
- Yourfilename2.jpg
projective drawing 2
projective drawing shopping zone
- Yourfilename4.jpg
projective drawing 4
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.
- Design Synthesis Drawings

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
- Image Gallery
"stone city"
"narrow bare alleys"
"parking zone" dirty area because of exhaust emissions
"river zone" often lifeless footpaths
"shopping and pedestrian zone" 15 m whide street only used for crossing
one spartan existing try of planting
