An interdisciplinary debate on project perspectives
Table 1 Synthesis of the cases study, results from a landscape architecture perspective
From: Urban metabolism planning and designing approaches between quantitative analysis and urban landscape
Rotterdam the urban metabolism | Amsterdam urban pulse | Amsterdam De Ceuvel | |
|---|---|---|---|
Scale | Metropolitan | Metropolitan | Neighborhood |
Context | Projects atelier—IABR-2014 | Research project—AMS-started 2014 | Neighborhood construction. Started 2013, implemented |
Methodology | Interviews (architect/urban planner), produced documents analysis (reports, maps etc.) | Interview (landscape architect), produced documents analysis (reports, papers etc.) | Interview (landscape architect, environmental engineer, architect, 10 inhabitants), produced documents analysis (Reports, papers etc.) Filed works observation |
Assessment from a landscape architecture perspective | Flow maps Heat Hub as public amenities | Spatiotemporal data for planners/designers | Peculiar urban form/landscape linked with ecological lifestyle Inhabitant implication Exemplarity of an experimental project |
Gaps from a landscape architecture perspective | Focus flows and lack of territory characteristic | Difficulties to integrate the spatial component | Ephemeral Hard to transfer/reproduce (favorable environment) |
