PROJECT INTRODUCTION
The ToRCH project aims to increase the living quality of all group parties from older people to residents nearby as well as students. The site lies in an area located between the woodland edge of the River Esk the parkland landscape of Monktonhall Golf Course and the parkland setting of Newhailles House and Brunstone. A warm, safe and secure care home to live in is crucial for good health and wellbeing It will give a strong connection between the community and care home to give the sense of community belonging and reduce the kind of loneliness.

The landscape framework would enhance the biological diversity of the existing landscape, with a variety of new habitats to integrated within the landscape structure, connecting the site with the wider rural environment and ecology. The framework would be made permeable in order to ensure that existing visual links across the site can be maintained and enhanced, both out with and within the site perimeter can also be created. The concept of permeability will be extended to the development of new attractive pedestrian routes across and through the site to surrounding settlements.
Under the impact of Covid-19 pandemic, the disproportionate amount of deaths of older people in care homes raising awareness that the buildings in which care homes operate need to enable a better quality of life and holistic safe care for the vulnerable, older members of our society

As an alternative, tourism can play an important role in small islands' economies presenting some advantages over export of goods and traditional services, namely through job creation, tax revenues and increased value of local products. Simultaneously, resources obtained by tourism can be used to deal with environmental challenges.
A Tale of Cedars and Windmills
Evidently, Azores natural characteristics, linked with its rich historical, architectural and cultural heritage provide opportunities for the development of tourism as an economic activity of regional significance. In Faial, windmills that widely distributed in the coastal countryside have been identified as the cultural symbol of the island.
Landscape architecture design exploration: Part 2 (2021-2022)[SEM2]

Windmill is not only world cultural heritage, but also a treasure of human civilization. Faial island is the main agricultural production island in the central group of Azores. The windmills on the island were mainly built around 1920. Despite of all vicissitudes over history, its main parts have managed to remain till today. However, for all kinds of reasons, this cultural heritage has been constantly subjected to erosions and damages, and its surroundings now face deterioration of ecological environment, stagnation of tourism and poverty of community residents
Small islands encounter particular environmental challenges (their isolation, limited physical space and natural resources, closed systems, endemism, terrestrial/marine ecosystems linkages) which increase their vulnerability to threats such as climate variability, proliferation of invasive exotic species, natural catastrophes and overexploitation of natural resources.
The planning aims to construct multiple windmill culture spots that integrate into the ecological network covering the north shore of Faial Island, which can achieve multiple objectives such as relics protection, ecological remediation, cultural rural tourism restoration and rural revitalization It will directly benefit the rural community residents along the network, indirectly attract future tourists and enhance the development vitality through tourism. The planning has fully invigorated the derived benefits of cultural heritages, brought a balance to the benefits in variety of aspects of exploration and preservation, culture and nature, tourism and ecology It is foreseeable that this area will be revitalized as result of the conservation and flexible exploitation of culture and nature landscape.

Recalibrate Drawing
There is a clear potential for the growth of tourism on the Azores, but such potential must be carefully exploited, ensuring the maintenance of the natural and cultural heritage and the environmental quality as a tourism destination.

Although the vast majority of agricultural land is now pasture, this area still has a long period of farming culture in which the representative cultural heritage is windmills. Windmills represent the wisdom and courage of early colonists to survive with the help of natural forces
General Advantages
General Section from Central Caldeira to the Coast
The Pastoral NovelVillage under Cedar Forest
From the volcano to the northern coastline, Cedrus area is covered with vast cedar forest and dense river network, and a large area of semi natural mixed forest is planted on the border of the countryside and on both sides of the river. These natural resources provide a perfect environment for hiking, fishing, camping and picnics.
Extraordinary natural and cultural assets found in small islands can be major attractions for tourists. In fact, nature-based tourism has a growing economic relevance and protected areas offer unique opportunities for visitor experiences.

As a major agricultural production area, Cedrus had built a large number of windmills in the middle of colonial period. So far, a large number of windmills have been abandoned and out of operation, and a few have been used as scenic landmarks.
