There is only one landscape. The studio goal is to enable students to perceive the landscape as one unit consisting of natural and cultural elements. The studio is aiming to familiarize students with large scale design mode. Students should think holisticly about their designs in a structural way. They will be able to perceive the landscape individual elements and layers as anintegral part of their design. Students will learn to perceive the landscape as one living organism modified by human activity.
Project SEMNĚVICE LANDSCAPE
deals with reconstructing the landscape natural values and corresponding cultural memory of Semněvice near Horšovský Týn located somewhere between Český les and Sedmihoří. The Salzmann atelier intensively deals with the Sudeten landscape.
A village with the original German name of Semlowitz has been greatly affected by the communist regime and current ways of farming in the countryside. The drying of the landscape, the loss of biodiversity and the overall impact of climate change is evident. What can the locals do to continue development and improvement of the situation. Students have opportunity to learn working in large scale, to assess values and possible dangers negatively effecting the territory as well as offering solutions to adapt the landscape to conditions of today.
All of this is based on understanding of historical heritage and eventual future challenges.
This seemingly ordinary landscape host people caring about further development of their living space who care of their home landscape and environment.
Project QUO VADIS, PRAMENY?
Prameny – former city, today a village in Sudetenland with original German name of Sangerberg. Originally a tin mining center, later a spa with Gisela, Rudolf and Vincent mineral springs. After World War II, the original German residents were driven out and a military training range was established here during 1946-1958. Only few of the 256 original houses escaped demolishon. A church older than the Charles Bridge in Prague went down in 1958. Today the village became infamous for its long-term financial mismanagement and debt.
In spite of the economic decline, the village surrounding is well-preserved as part of the Slavkovský les protected area. The landscape cultural values as well as ecological diversity form the unique value of Prameny. One goal of the project is to identify and recover the tradition values, locate and classify them in context to propose a comprehensive solution for further protection and development.
We want to draw attention to appreciate local values and display the potential of this well-preserved landscape with many original cultural landscape elements typical for the borderlands attractive as a huge tourist industry center.
