Landscape and/or urban context of your case
The Liban Quarry is one of the most forgotten places in Kraków, this place is remembered for the victims of the Nazi labor camp that operated there during Kraków’s occupation (World War II); within the time The Liban Quarry become slowly a nature sanctuary for waterfowl, birds of prey, pheasants and other creatures. [1]
The landscape of the place contains incredible limestone cliffs, ponds and dense vegetation.
HISTORY
1873_The limestone company 'Liban and Ehrenpreis,' run by two well known Jewish industrial families from Podgórze established a quarry.
End of the 19th century _ a complex of buildings was established within the quarry and a railway line.
1942-1944_ Nazi occupation, in which a penal camp, where 800 young Poles were prisoners and forced to perform hard labors, was set-up.
1945_Any evidence of Concentration Camps were erased by SS, there are still villas used by high-rank commandeers (for ex. 'Red house') that are topics for discussions of their 'questionable' value. Also there is still preserved path and roads pattern, that makes more clear scale, and placement of the camp.
1993_ Steven Spielberg used Liban as the set of all the scenes from Schindler's List that take place in the Płaszów concentration camp.
BIOGEOGRAPHY
The area of Liban Quarry is a geographic area rich in species and ecosystems:
• The site is highly rich in biotopes.
• The area serves as a refuge for water birds.
• Highly diverse in plant species.
• Provide habitat for many insects, birds and small mammals.
• Woodlands are mainly formed by broad-leaved species.
• Xerothermic grasslands characterize the site and are of great value.
• There are some negative tendencies, like spreading of invasive species or overgrowing xerothermic grasslands with bushes.

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
-- Liban quarry has a long and creepy history for it with many elements and spaces which still reflect what took place years back. I my point of view i would like to say that this area with abundant plant species grown like a forest with remains of the towers and pathways and presently lot of species too should be redesigned in such a way that we preserve the existing ruins and control the growth of the plants with required access by the public so that they also will be able to know the past of this area without altering the present atmosphere of the Site. As in it should be made as a place of historical importance and should me made as a biospere reserve.

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.
