Core Questions of this Working Group

1. How does funding influence the planning and use of public space? (MARKUS)

2. How are spaces within the site used, both currently and projected? (MARKUS)

3. How can the historic elements / layers be integrated? (CLAUDIA)

4. How do the contributing elements of water (recreational, historical, transportation, environmental, etc) relate to the project?

5. How does the built environment relate to the landscape around it? (PAUL)

6. Which functions the open spaces should perform to help achieve the established goals?

7. How cultural factors (environmental perception, social conditions, ecological illiteracy, etc) can affect the design process and its post-implementation performance?

[Approach: In the first step relevant information about funding and land use were carried together out of the case studies and inserted into a table. While the rows contains data about funding, the columns reveal the different case studies. Missing information were exchanged by e-mail, while the participants added or improved listed data. In a next step the information in the table were compressed into the more relevant issues and simplified. The first row in this next table contains a graphical view about the money spent in the different case studies. As some of the case studies aren`t realized at the moment, these informations are missing there. Furthermore similarities between the case studies were sought and highlighted. These similarities between funding and land-use were provided afterwards in a graphical view. Simlar approaches concerning funding were grouped together

Synthesis

The case studies are not direct comparable, focal points and the scale of the projects are different. They are all related with cultural landscape as product of human activity and social developments.

Water as integral part of cultural landscape appear in all case studies. Based on the presumption that cultural landscape consists of a variety of components with socio-economic, ecological and aesthetic functions the following graph illustrates the different focal points of the case studies in relation to the multi-functionality of landscape.

The functions interact with one another, this means it isn't possible to change one function without consequences for the other functions.

To find the balance between all these functions of the landscape is a challenge.
