Restoration Preservation and Sharing this Emblematic Sleeping Beauty waking up to its full Glorious Heritage of Art Nouveau from the founding father "Victor Horta". The Horta House revival is much more than the heritage, the bygone era and how to preserve it. And certainly much more than owning a house. The Horta House makes a statement about the future. What kind of cities we want and indeed, what kind of cities we need.

A journey in my graduation project: Landscape Heritage Park A Landscape Heritage park is a place where people modify the land to represent part of their heritage in this case the plants of Bahrain. It is made to protect the land's vegetative heritage and to educate people about the plants that could be grown in the region. the main goal of the project is to highlight the beauty of the land's vegetative heritage. The project’s idea is from Bahrain – to showcase what Bahrain really is – the location, and things found. Landscapes provide ecosystem services, support biodiversity, represent cultural significance, offer aesthetic value, and generate economic value. Landscape heritage parks show tales about the landscape, such as plants, Nature, and landforms, and act as symbols of the landscape's national and regional identity. Plants are omnipresent and multifunctional, offering an excess of benefits ranging from food to handicrafts.

#Europan #E17 Special Mention in Brussels (BE) -- Daily Camping -- by AS: Celeste Tellarini (IT) – architect urbanist, photographer, Xander Wilhelm (DE) – architect urbanist, designer, geographer "There are many themes overlapping and intertwining in Daily Camping, all rising from specificities of both the site of Parc du Cinquantenaire and the city of Brussels as a whole. On an ecological level, we embrace a broader meaning of ecology where difference and complexity are welcomed as fundamental principles to create atmospheres for human and non-human interactions." #europan17 #livingcities2 #architecturecompetition #urbanplanning #urbanism #landscape #competition #architecturaldrawings #archilovers #axonometrics #brussels #belgium

Have a look at The stunning gardens at Aberdour Castle. And a Beehive Shaped Pigeon House at the Aberdour castle The terraced garden, with its four broad L-shaped terraces, dates back to the time of the 4th Earl of Morton and is an absolute marvel. And that’s not all - at the bottom of the terraces lies an orchard that was originally laid out in 1690 and has recently been lovingly replanted. What’s even more incredible is that the full extent of the terracing was only revealed after excavations in the 1970s, uncovering a hidden treasure that had been in use as a market garden. This place is truly a historical and horticultural wonder Behold a magnificent 16th-century “beehive” shaped doocot, also known as a pigeon house, situated to the south. This incredible structure boasts approximately 600 nesting boxes. As it rises to a height of 9 meters (30 feet), it does so in four majestic steps, each one adorned with “rat courses” - projecting ribs designed to thwart any audacious attempts by rats to climb inside. Exploring Aberdour Castle in the enchanting village of Easter Aberdour, Fife, Scotland. This incredible castle has parts that date all the way back to around 1200, making it one of the two oldest standing castles in Scotland. Once a second home to the Douglas Earls of Morton, Aberdour Castle has seen centuries of history, including a fire in the late 17th century. Despite the challenges, the castle still stands, with its 17th-century wing intact and open to the public year-round under the care of Historic Environment Scotland. It’s a must-visit for history enthusiasts and anyone looking to step into Scotland’s rich past. #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #scotland #travel #uk #explore #travelgram #traveltok #goodvibes #getalong #aberdourcastle #castle #historical #placestovisit #sightseeing #travelblog #vlogger #vlog #ınstagood #instalike #instatravel #socialmedia #tiktok #amazing

"One of the problems is that Dublin is, and I mean literally and topographically, flat — so that everything has to take place on a single plane. Other cities have metro systems, which add depth, and steep hills or skyscrapers for height, but Dublin has only short squat grey buildings and trams that run along the street. And it has no courtyards or roof gardens like continental cities, which at least break up the surface — if not vertically, then conceptually. Have you thought about it this way before? Maybe even if you haven’t, you’ve noticed it at some subconscious level. It’s hard to go very far up in Dublin or very low down, hard to lose yourself or other people, or to gain a sense of perspective. You might think it’s a democratic way to organise a city — so that everything happens face to face, I mean, on equal footing. True, no one is looking down on you all from a height. But it gives the sky a position of total dominance. Nowhere is the sky meaningfully punctuated or broken up by anything at all. The Spire, you might point out, and I will concede the Spire, which is anyway the narrowest possible of interruptions, and dangles like a measuring tape to demonstrate the diminutive size of every other edifice around. The totalising effect of the sky is bad for people there. Nothing ever intervenes to block the thing from view. It’s like a memento mori. I wish someone would cut a hole in it for you." - Sally Rooney, Beautiful World Where Are You This passage was my introduction to the Irish landscape. Through it, I came to understand the significance of the Irish topography as reflective of its culture and identity. What was your first impression of the Irish landscape?

New #scientificpublication ! This research is aimed at assessing the #landscape scenic preferences of visitors and residents concerning alternative intervention strategies for restoring the forests of the #mountain area in Northeastern #italy that was impacted by an #extremeevent (VAIA storm) . Our models indicate that #emotions are a better predictor of scenic quality than the physical characteristics of the territory. To improve the #recreational services of the mountain territories, for restoring the VAIA-affected forests it will be necessary to remove the felled trees and at the same time increase the presence of panoramic views by substituting in some areas the forests with cultivated meadows.

Happy Friday all, and greetings from Venice! This is a poignant moment as I sit comfortably overlooking a stretch of the grand canal and ponder, as I approach my half century with nervous trepidation, what the next 50 years will offer. I have worked tirelessly to think beyond social, economic and environmental parameters to also consider space, culture and technology as equally important considerations that can shape better outcomes in our built environment. And all of this comes sharply into focus when I think about what is happening tomorrow, on the 20th July. The Redentore festival began as a feast – held on the day of the Feast of the Most Holy Redeemer – to give thanks for the end of the terrible plague of 1576, which killed approximately 50,000 people. The Doge Alvise I Mocenigo promised to build a magnificent church if the plague ended. Andrea Palladio was eventually commissioned to build it on the Island of Giudecca; and the church, known as Il Redentore, was consecrated in 1592. After the foundation stone was laid, a small wooden church was temporarily built, along with temporary bridge of barges from the Zattere, so that the Doge Sebastiano Venier could walk in procession as far as the tabernacle. Afterwards, the Doge made a pilgrimage to the Church of Redentore every year and, to this day, floating sections that represent the barges lashed together to connect Giudecca to Zattare are populated by those wishing to trace such steps. Why does this make me think of the next 50 years and reshaping sustainability? Well, two thirds of the surface area of the Earth is water: some of which ( particularly those under-utilised docks and ports fronting onto our seas) are prime places for regeneration. There is an opportunity to embrace what is often perceived as a climate change-related cataclysm ( I.e the rising sea level) to create flood resilient, dynamic, floating structures on water as an alternative form of urbanism where one can live, work and play. The thought of utilising disused docks and ports’ water as a spatially and technologically sustainable means of urban regeneration excites me, as well as the cultural prospect of the water being a ‘platform’ to reflect the culture of a place. Just as Palladio’s waterfront church was a celebration of the end of the great plague of Venice in the 16th century, perhaps the culture that is played out in our waterways 50 years from now will mark an era of overcoming the pandemic, or our continued quest to quash our climate-change related urban challenges. And here I see a remarkable floating structure, springing up in front of my eyes, in readiness for tomorrow’s festival. A festival that is a mark of resilience and overcoming adversity; a celebration of life on the water. And also a lesson in balancing space, culture and technology. Have a good weekend all. #Venice #ReshapingSustainability #WaterfrontRevival #FloatingStructures #CultureOnTheWater #JasonPomeroy #PomeroyStudio #PomeroyAcademy
