Hosted by the Neapolis University in Paphos, Cyprus, from 16th – 20th of March 2016 the forum will focus on the north-western region of Cyprus including the peri-urban landscape of Paphos and the natural areas of the Akamas peninsula. The competition area is located in the most eastern part of Cyprus. The objective is to conceive a landscape narrative from the sea to the rural hinterland. The proposed transect starts at the coastline following the Avakas Gorge to the Pano and Kato Arodes Villages, situated at 500 m above sea level. A concept should be developed around the overall themes of sustainable tourism and cultural heritage. The detailing task is to design a park for amateur astronomy and star-watching.
The competition aims to support integrated and holistic approaches to the Akamas landscape through multidisciplinary student teams elaborating planning and design proposals at various scales and around the following aspects:
Sustainable visions balancing the interplay of landscape scenery, habitat management, visitor flow and settlement development
Enhancing, interpreting and integrating heritage elements and historical layers
Concepts for nature-oriented tourism and environmental education focussing on the exploration of natural phenomena (i.e. geology, ecosystems, astronomy) and their translation into the landscape
Sustainable traffic concepts, connectivity, enhancing modal shift and increased landscape experience by alternative means of transport
Enhancement of ecological functions and ecosystem services of both the protected areas and the surrounding agricultural land
Introduction of green infrastructure elements based on a conceptual framework
Exploring any possible landscape-based assets creating possibilities for small enterprises in order to foster the landscape’s socio-economic foundation
