action in order to produce certain conditions (favorable or unfavorable angle, the type of modelling / vegetation (biomorphic-shaped, angular or orthogonal) which serve as the basis for early conceptual projects, whose creative development given the conditions imposed to be appreciated. 8

The concept developed from the image of the star of David, referred to a representative of the Knights Templar. The D.Gualdim Pais Garden is situated in Tomar city attached to the Church of St. Maria dos Olivais seen as a peaceful place, where meditation and contemplation are its aim. The terrain modelling allows a central point of greatest activity and social gathering.
The inspiration for this project from the idea of “Painting the Landscape” by reference to the famous quarter of Piet Mondrian, “Composition of Colours - 1917”, lead me to explore the color and texture of the vegetation in different seasons that provide color corresponding to the frame. Spaces created such as the lavender fields, orchards of plum, maple and clearing of the forest of oaks and chestnut trees made it possible to complete the proposed concept.
In this 3rd work was reached a level of complexity that is mixed with modelling, vegetation, and structures in order to maximize the most of the introduced concept. This project is designed for an area adjacent to a neighborhood in Viana do Castelo city to improve the residents’ life quality through the multifunctionality of the park, the solar power generation for the neighborhood and also the ecological interest and functions.There were created shadow / light games, woods, an amphitheater, viewpoints, aromatic herbs areas, subsistence areas, clearings, etc. 9

- Consolidate training in the pratice of spatial planning emphasizing
the guidelines for the spatial distribution of economic activities to meet the principles of sustainable development and the current framework of the land management’s instruments with focus on the Municipal Master Plan. 38
- Introduce the pratice of using the geographic information system (GIS) applied to the spatial planning in landscape architecture.

Landscape Policies European Union
T
oday’s Portuguese - as well as any Euroepan - landscape, are basically all man designed and managed. Since we became part of Europe Union, we became part of a single territory under a set of spatial policies - Do policies create
and change landscape ?Which are the central policies responsible for the landscape ? These are some of the questions that precede the essay about “Landscape Policies” inspired by the European Landscape Convention and looking into the 46
2020 EU TerritorialThe Agenda (essay index in the next page) . As a case study we look into the Douro Wine Region cultural landscape to explore the impact of landcape polices through the last 40 years.
