Rationale: Why is this case interesting?
This lookout allows to look at a different variety of city areas. It located on the top of "Cerro Campanario" (1050 m AMSL) that stands 200 meters above the city. The sight is interesting in two main ways: First, from the lookout you can see different areas of the city and you can see the surrounding National Park with its mountains, lakes and forests. Second, the location and main aspect of any lookout should be a place designed by a Landscape Architect: Both WHAT you look and HOW you look at a scene are as important as WHERE you look at it.
- Why did you select it?
I believe that seeing a part of a city at the same time that you see a natural landscape should be well planned view. How this city designs its plot planting design and how this urban plot interacts with the natural landscape, will bring a significant change in what the viewer sees, and how "beautiful" will consider the scene.
- Is it exemplary for a specific theme or a problem?
- In how far does it relate to your life?
It slightly related to my life. The Case Study is located in my birthtown. I am also related as a Landscape Architect, because I think lookout points and National Parks are both interesting cases of study and design.
Author's perspective
From which professional background/perspective are your documenting this case?
Landscape and/or urban context of your case
- Biogeography, cultural features, overall character, history and dynamics
- Illustration: Map; sketches; short descriptive analyses
Analytical drawings
Please add four analytical sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) of your case and take the following aspects into account:
- natural dynamic versus cultural framework - in how far do these two forces come together in your case?
- dynamic through the year (you may imagine how the site looks in spring and summer, maybe you also remember it)
- highlight potentials and problems

Projective drawings
- Please add four projective sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) for your case and take the following aspects into account:
- How would you like this case to change in the near future? (in 1-2 years)
- And how could it look like in 10-15 years?
