Landscape: contemporary spatial pactice

The aim of the exhibition was to present landscape design as an contemporary spatial practice whereby the focus was the role of the landscape in humanization of urban envronment. The sketches, plans, drawings and models of chosen projects present the planning proces, while onother part of the exhibition adresses the contemporary relation between man and nature by using video, sounds and theoretic texts.

The problems of large protected areas in the process of planning : a case study in the municipality Ig, Slovenia.

The addressed problem is how to guide a development in municipalities with vast protected areas. We argue that conservation areas are not completely homogeneous in terms of sensitivity to development. The assessment of the municipality Ig spatial plan was performed on the basis of the vulnerability analysis which helps us to identify different levels of environmental sensitivity to the planned activities. We conclude by suggesting that sectors should rather provide evaluation maps for an assessment of spatial plan and that protected areas maps should be made after a plan is adopted.

OnSite, Landscape Architecture Europe

OnSite, Landscape Architecture Europe is the second in a line of books, presenting and theorizing the contemporary landscape architecture practice in Europe as implemented in the last five years. It is divided in two parts; the first presents designed landscapes; the second planning approaches. The books includes essays on emergents topics and refers to presented examples. The presented cases were chosen by an intenational editorial board, which also invited authors from the relevant fields to contribute the essays

The relevance of vulnerability analysis and environmental guidelines for strategic spatial planning

Consideration and coordination of all the interests that emerge in the process of spatial planning usually results in a number of conflicts. This article derives from the assumption that presentation of spatial status and sectorial guidelines, which are both obligatory by law for preparation and assessment of plans in spatial planning, can help to avoid these conflicts in a limited way, and it therefore makes sense to use analytic spatial planning tools as well.

Playscape - in defence of public space

The essay is based on the study of Johan Huizinga Homo Ludens and assumes that urban spaces can be also play spaces, whereby the play is considered as a type of expression. It identifies two key conditions required for emergence and development of play: freedom of play and space for playing. The freedom as a neccesary condition connects play to a freedom of speech, which is used as an agument for necessity to ensure and design quality public spaces in urban areas
