GOOD FENCES MAKE GOOD NEIGHBOURS. Gert-Jan Wisse. Academy of Architecture Amsterdam

“Good fences make good neighbors” Being built in the “Golden Age” of the Dutch building activity, Almere is the ultimate example of a suburb. Efficiently layed-out, aiming on introvert oriented families with kids; a home with a garden and a car in front. People live between the strictly bordered plots of the urban plan. The borders between the gardens get heavily defended by tall boardings and hedges. With “Good fences make good neighbors” these borders are put to the test. The zoning-plan gets changed and new possibilities of exchanging, annexating or sharing space are created. Starting at the back door, able to transform and adapt to the ambitions and demands of a changing family composition. Changes are always based on agreements between the neighbors.

The Wadden coast has a long history of land reclamation. For over 1,000 years, high tidal marshes have been dikedin for agricultural use. Because of land subsidence and the current sea level rises, these polders are now up to two metres below sea level. Consequently, it has become increasingly difficult for the district water boards to keep these areas dry and filled with fresh water. Rising Land tries to look for sustainable solutions for salinization, and for the coast to become a safer place again. Its strategy is to silt up the low polders naturally, under the influence of tidal dynamics, so that they end up above the average high water mark. The oldest and deepest Dollard-polder serves as a pilot. Because of a surplus of silt in the waters of the Eems-Dollard estuary, the estuary suffers from ecological problems. To solve this, the silt is being used to raise the polder, so that dredging in the estuary can be reduced. That has its positive effects on the limpidity of water and the biological production, which serve as a basis of the ecosystem. During this process, spectacular landscapes will appear in rapid succession, in a relatively short period of time (75-100 years).

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gardens for Koutloumousiouâ&#x20AC;? is a project for six gardens for a Greek orthodox Monastery on the holy Mount Athos. The six gardens are mystic places, hidden in the forest. The Monastery welcomes hundreds of men performing their pilgrimage by walking from monastery to monastery. Along the way they collect medicinal and holy herbs as a token of their pilgrimage. The gardens offer picking fields for herbs as well as orchards and vineyards for the monastery. The pilgrims use the paths that follow the creeks that run down the mountain slopes. These paths have integrated gutters that slow down the run-off of the water and allow the water to enter the gardens over a longer period of time. At places where the water is allowed into the fields a lusher vegetation appears. This emphasizes the botanic wealth of the peninsula.

Lagoon Park Weser.Minden The LAGOON PARK WESER creates a new landscape along the River Weser in Minden, Germany. For years, people have been afraid of the dangerous consequences of flooding along the Weser. Engineered flood barriers were built and all new districts were planned far from the river. Consequently, Minden is now disconnected from the Weser as an archipelago of separated districts or “islands”. The concept of “Lagoon Park Weser.Minden” understands the Weser as the linking surface between existing and future islands. The river is transformed from an archipelago into a lagoon. New “ecologically oriented islands”, and “leisure dedicated islands” are integrated in the city of Minden. Flood protection, nature conservation, and leisure activities interact with the dynamic river.

LUH Hannover Chalk Pit Land

SUBJECT: Final thesis M.Sc. Landschaftsarchitektur TEACHERS: Martin Prominski, Verena Butt AUTHOR: Marcella Hartmann

They are gargantuan and extremely deep, with a majestic white color, accented by a shimmering turquoise blue or a fluffy green. These quarries at L채gerdorf were created for chalk extraction to be used in cement production. The chalk layers are the result of millions of years of sedimentary process, but after only a few decades of mining the resource will be quickly exhausted. The extraction of natural resources is generally only a temporary land use. Once the extraction is done, what could be the next step within the transformation process of these impressive landscapes? This thesis explores various future development scenarios for the quarrying landscape. It aims at identifying possible combinations, synergies and multifunctional aspects. The productive Chalk-sea represents one possible future for this breathtaking chalk-pit landscape.

Ingrained Growth Growing informal settlements have greatly impacted the landscape in the steep slopes surrounding MedellĂn. Extensive deforestation and illegal construction have led to increased erosion and landslide risk. The focus of future interventions should lie in mitigating this risk. A possibility of improving the stability of steep slopes is through community-based reforestation. A slope adapted street system forms an infrastructural framework for future development. A short rotation coppice serves as a vegetated buffer zone around informal settlements and the harvested material can be used for further stabilizing constructions utilizing techniques of bio-engineering. Improving the living conditions in the communities, giving technical education and creating economic opportunities, will help to improve the overall acceptability and success of the system.

ENSP WORKSHOPS Each semester at ENSP Versailles starts with a Workshop on the semester’s main theme. In September of the M1 level this is on Landscape Urbanism, the workshop is taught by guest teachers that bring the students to Versailles. WORKSHOP ISSUE On the West side of Rouen the two borders of the riverbank are industrial wastelands. The question posed to students was what type of landscape could be designed at this place to give a new attractive quarter for new housing and economic activities. The students worked on this site, beginning with landscape planning, a landscape urbanism for this site and during the workshop they reached the question of the settlement, where?,how many? and when? STUDENTS’ WORK The students worked first on the context, the link to the waters. Many of them where interested in revelling the tide and the possibly-salty water. The physical context was generally the first step. A group of students worked on the idea of offering to this “brown field” a way back to its origins, that is to be once again an island of the Seine. The project presented here focused on the role of socially useful art. Projects with a first artistic intervention on the site to reveal the dock as a new part of the city for a short-term project. The spatial experiences focused on the possibility of a large sculpture and student experimental houses, or more ephemeral artistic activities and community activities.

Rungis city expansion ENSP STUDIO At Master 1 level, three main studios and a large regional analyses form the main topics of the year. The first Studio is on urban expansion through the notion of Landscape Urbanism. The Studio is held in English with invited guest academics. One of the studio sites (city of Rungis at the south edge of greater city of Paris) is used for diploma work of a guest student from China CHU. Historical map 1774, South of Paris and todays spatial occupation of the site South of Rungis

STUDENTSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; WORK On a 30 ha rural land on the edge of the South of Rungish that is economically disadvantaged, with a plant nursery belonging to the Parisian city centre, and is underused due to more ecological ways of greening the city centre, the students choose to develop a new housing area to represent the future of this land. The project proposed by CHU was to remodel the geography and rediscover the hydrology bonds that have been disturbed by the contemporary constructions as the highway, the canalisation of rivers and urban expansions. The project underlines the topographical lines and curves as fundament of the future housing area, plus creates a scene to view the horizons in for of a large terrace. The terrace creates an edge between two housing zones a transition between two landscape entities.

Urban water

ENSP STUDIO At Master 2 level there are two main studios. The studio held by Prof. Gilles Vexlard covers a very large urban and suburban landscape. The main topic is to redefine geographical logics on a territory and organise landscape sequences for a better understanding of a site, as well as to anticipate future developments. WORKSHOP ISSUE Within the framework of this workshop on urban creativity, the theme proposed in 2011 was “urban water”. Water plays a definite and materially unavoidable role in the design of urban and other landscapes The notion of “associated water” to be applicable at a territorial level, must be an integral part of the geographical situations and future sites of projects. The terrain is a research tool, a prerequisite to the development of landscaping approaches that annex “the space under the sky” embodied by forests, wetlands, cultivated lands, meadows, infrastructures, and constructions. Each student developed a topic for the future of this site and its concrete capacity to accept new inhabitants. The students worked out different thematics such as: -Water associated with the distance required between urban areas -Water associated with the development of forests -Water associated with the public space -Water associated with living things and agriculture -Water associated with the cleansing and regeneration of the landscape -Water associated with the cultural forms of the landscape, “the parks” STUDENTS’ WORK -Water associated with the cultural forms of the landscape, “the parks”, “The metropolitan groves” A large scale Parisian grove that links the the city centre of Paris to the rural area through the suburban city. A project that anticipates climate change by proposing large green corridors for leisure, for ecological and water trails, plus a way to bring into to the city fresh air from the West coast.
