Talk:Planting Design 2013 - Working Group 8
Nice and interesting cases.
Valuable concepts in the cases:
Each place is unique and different. More natural, more urban.... Places have a history, a culture behind. The design should emphasize what is proper.
They have in common the idea of restoring places bringing people closer to nature daily. Nice places & functional also allow people to go and feel what is there.
Dynamic design thinking that places are not static... A good practice could be notice how places are used, people´s opinion can improve functionality and respect for them.
It never mind the size of the project, sustainable maintenance, is something that we must project in the design. Earth resources are critical and it is important to help from every discipline.
It is valuable to think in favour of nature in the planting design, thinking on what it is good in every place according the climate, using as much as possible native plants and in favour or fauna.
