Talk:Planting Design 2013 - Working Group 14
The used method
The method used for organising the opinion our group 17, for the feedback was the use of an interactive form addressed to each member of the group with the following questions: 1 - Regarding to the shown cases, which one causes you more interest, 2- Are differences / similarities between cases of each group, 3 - Do you have any question about any of the cases, 4 - Do you need to add anything else. After the completion of the form we synthesised the opinions in a short text.
Which Case Studies you found most interesting?
Our group found case study B and D as the most interesting ones. The reasons are different because the case studies are different in terms of their context. Case study B, Energy garden Concept reffers on how to use renegerative energies in hormony with the environment. The most important issue that the project rises is the understanding the need to develope clean energies but respecting and protecting the nature and the land we live in. Case study D, Garden of Dreams is about the contemporary problem of growth population and how the main objectives become developing housing buildings but disregarding the public and green space. The attempt to rehabilitate a historical heritage and the public space should be one of the most important strategies of cityscaping. Reclaiming the lost public spaces to new pocket green spaces shows a very good example of the tendency a city should be developed towards.
Are any differences between case studies of each group?
There are more similarities despite the different scale of the case studies. Case A and Case B focus on human activities, Case C and D focuses on restoration of the nature in high density areas and wastelands. 3 out of the 4 case studies shows that the food system is an important asptect of urban and landscape planning.
Any question regarding the Case studies?
We have a question for Apekshya Dhungel of Case Study D: The possible places for planting design seem too large to be pocket green space. Then what is your strategy for pocket green space? What kind of space can be reconstructed into pocket park? Will there be any obstacle on this way?
