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.
The site is located on the SubCarpethian Area, at a height of 380m-450m that includes Prahova's riverbed. The climate is temperate-continental specific to hilly areas. Also one Important charasteristic of the valley is the quallity of the air due to the ozone and negative ions which makes the air have an therapeutic effect. Furthermore the area has a noticeble bioclamate characterised by the low values of atmopheric pressure due to the air purity. On the other side the geographic position allows the area to have a rich vegetation, especially due to decidous forrests. About the native plants we can mention: populus alba, betula pendula, sambucus nigra, rosa canina, fraxinus excelsior. Finally surrounding the site there are 1400 ha of orchards covered with fruited plants, 1500 ha of forrest and 1800 ha of pastures and hayfields. We can say the the site has high qualitty characteristhics that makes it a very interesting site for landscaping.
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).
