1.- What is Landscape Arquitecture? Landscape architecture is the profession which applies artistic and scientific principles to the research, planning, design and management of natural and built environments. Who practice this profession applies creative, technical skills, and scientific, cultural and political knowledge in the planned arrangement of natural and constructed elements on the land with a concern for the conservation of natural, constructed and human resources. The resulting environments shall serve useful, aesthetic, safe and enjoyable purposes. Lorenza Giner

2. History of Landscape Architecture: Landscape architecture is not a new concept. For millennia people have wanted to adapt and craft their environment to suit their needs, both practically and aesthetically. It all started in the ancient world where the ancient Egypt, China, Babylon, Greece, and other cultures started making decorated pools, gardens, etc. It later translated to America. In 1750 AD or soon afterwards, Capability Brown perfected the smooth, green landscape ideal as English park. Greenhouses helped raise plants. Joseph Paxton revolutionized greenhouse design which helped. In the late 20th century the modernist movement made a start and this become important after 1980. Modernist designers take centre stage now but no one style predominates. Now there is a variety of style, an increase in our understanding of plants and different materials have been developed for light weight and outdoor use such as stone, metals, polymers, and lighter materials that look like heavier ones. Recycling is important now and each householder is made to feel as if their contribution in the form of their garden is important. Our style today owes much to the past and there are so many different styles of landscape architecture that it cannot be said to be influenced by just one period. Yet, we owe our knowledge and choice to those who went before. Lorenza Giner

4.-What is assessment? What is landscape assessment? An assessment can be the act of assessing or an amount, or it can also be an appraisal or evaluation. Landscape assessment is a sub-category of environmental assessment concerned with quality assessment of the landscape. Landscape quality is assessed either as part of a strategic planning process or in connection with a specific development which will have an impact on the landscape. The term 'landscape assessment' can be used to mean either: · Visual assessment: This would look at the nature and extent of visual impacts and qualities relating to locations and proposals. UK-related guidance on the preparation of these assessments is given in Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment published by SPON press on behalf of the Landscape Institute & Institute of Environmental Management, 2002. · Character assessment: This includes assessments of each aspect of the landscape: geology, hydrology, soils, ecology, settlement patterns, cultural history, scenic characteristics, land use etc. It typically includes distinct descriptive and evaluative components. Guidance on the preparation of these assessments is given in Landscape Character assessment: Guidance for England and Scotland published by the Countryside Agency & Scottish Natural Heritage, April 2002. <span style="color: #e36c0a; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 14.25pt;">Lillian Romo Lillian Romo & Patricio Chavero

<span style="color: #ffc000; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">5.- Which is the importance of ecological design? <span style="color: #ffc000; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">Ecological design was defined by Sam Wander Ryn and Stuart Cowan as "any form of design that minimizes environmentally destructive impacts by integrating itself with living processes."Ecological design is an integrative, ecologically responsible design discipline. It helps connect scattered efforts in green architecture, sustainable architecture, ecological engineering, ecological restoration and other fields. <span style="color: #ffc000; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">Ecological design is both a profoundly hopeful vision and a pragmatic tool. By placing ecology in the foreground of design, it provides specific ways of minimizing energy and material use, reducing pollution, preserving habitat, restoring ecosystems, inventing landscapes, and fostering community, health and beauty. Ecological design provides a new way of thinking about human interventions into the natural world by going beyond many streams of environmentalism, which often merely call for a minimization of human impacts on the natural world. Ecological design thus can be defined as a careful and deliberate form of human intervention with the natural environment that attempts to improve natural conditions or reverse environmentally destructive impacts. <span style="color: #ffc000; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">Lillian Romo & Lorenza Giner Lillian Romo & Patricio Chavero

6.- The steps to design an ecological garden are: - Selected a theme and style, then - Prepared a plan of the current site, when you already prepared all, - Ensured that the style and site are compatible, then - Used the garden design principles, then researched the plants required, - At the end do your ecological garden. Saori Kimura and Sebastián Ruanova Lillian Romo & Patricio Chavero 7.- A sustainable garden is a garden that works in harmony with nature, by minimizes the negative impact of environment. In it they use a sustainable system, that means that plants are grown without depleting (run out) nature resources or contributing to pollution and it should last for long time. Sustainable gardens includes: - Organic Gardening: Growing food without using substances. - Native plants and trees: Combine species of plants and trees stronger, healthier and better quality for surviving to the area. - Double Digging: Help the soil holds more water, improves aeration and place organic materials. - Vermicomposting: Worm composting. For making this composting you need to recollect trash, food and worms. You leave it for long time and you will start watching the results. This is excellent for your garden and keep all trash and food out of the garbage. - Backyard composting: This composting is easy to make. You just need to return organic waste back into a nutrient rich soil. This would help the health of the plants and your garden. - Animals: Bringing animals its also important for the garden. Animals that polonaise, just normal animals help your garden for having diversity and heath of some plants. They’re exist thousands of thing that includes a sustainable garden that I didn’t mention but they aren’t necessary.

1.- Choose the site for the ecological garden.

2.- Clean the area of the plants that are not original of the Pedregal and remove grass to save the natural resources. Example, water.

3.- Choose the flora that will work in harmony with others species.

4.- Prepare the volcanic rock were the garden will be place and plant the selected flora.

5.- Observe the process of the garden and take notes of any changes to considered for the successful growth of the ecological garden.

Why is important to keep the original plants of the Pedregal in our ecological garden? There are many reasons of why do we need to keep them. This are special and unique of our colony, here is where they grow better. They adapt to the volcanic rock, not so many plants can. These plants are the only ones that can adapt to this kind of zone. These plants don’t need lots of resources, in the other hand the plants that aren’t from here need lots of resources and care from us. If we mix them some plants would kill the others, that is their nature. The last and one of the most important is that because as they grow better and bigger, there are more plants and that's what our planet needs. = The most important thing of all is that we need to appreciate our plants, the ones from our colony. Some people say it’s the legacy of our ancient times. Other people say that an ecosystem looks better with its original plants because that way you can recognize it. But they say that because the plants that we have here are very strange they have many colors and different shapes, the plants of the Pedregal are unique and we have to take care off it. = media type="custom" key="9110062" <span style="color: red; display: block; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 26.5pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: center;">Final Reflection <span style="color: #e36c0a; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">For our Interdisciplinary Project, in literature class, we read some poems about nature. In pairs we looked in the dictionary for the words that we didn’t know. We answered some questions about the poem that the teacher gave us and that is what I’m going to talk about. <span style="color: #ffc000; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“The tallest tree that ever stood, in time without a dream to keep, crawls beside the root to sleep” is a quote of Edna St. Vincent Millay, who wrote the poem “The Leaf and The Tree”. It is about a leaf which asks herself, when is she going to understand the cycle of life. In autumn she will turn <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> brown and maybe she will fall; or maybe in winter she will be full of snow. This nice poem tries to tell us the importance of life processes. It tells us that when someone or something goes someone or something comes. We need to wait patiently to treat with love those who come, and forget slowly the ones that go. It can also tell us that a tree is full of leaves as the world is full of people. That we are not alone and we need to work together differently, they live for short time so others can come and give all the ecosystems a great look. It teaches us many, many things, and I wouldn’t finish writing them all. It makes me feel curious and gave me Goosebumps because of the way Edna wrote this poem. It is like mysterious but it is very true. It’s a poem that gives me faith, confidence and happiness because of all the marvelous things it says. It is related with nature in each of its aspects. Obviously if you are talking about a tree you are talking about nature. It talks about the cycle of life which also involves nature. It is amazing the way Edna St. Vincent expresses herself with questions and then mysterious sentences. I loved it! <span style="color: #ff3399; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%;">-Lorenza Giner

__ Final Reflection __ <span style="color: #e36c0a; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In Literature we worked in PI teams, later we divide ourselves into pairs and thirds. We analyzed a poem called “The Leaf and the Tree” by Edna St. Vincent Millay. This poem was about life, it was represented as a leaf. This leaf grows in a tree, but when will it learn to be a dying leaf on a living tree? This poem teaches us that we aren’t going to live forever, just like a leaf. We are the leaves and the tree is our planet, our world. We are as small as that. We live, grow, reproduce and die. Nobody can change that process. Later we read other poems from other teams to get “inspired” to make our own poem. My poem was called “The mysteries of the Palo Loco”. This poem talks about life, our lives. We <span style="color: #e36c0a; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">live and die, that’s our life cycle. It never changes. Not even if we have different religion, language or nationality. This is a gorgeous poem, I liked it very much. It teaches us using a very naturist method. It makes me feel comfortable, in peace. This poem is related to nature because it talks about a tree and a leaf. Her style is a really nice style, she tells them as she was someone else, something else. -Lillian Romo F i n a l R e f l e c t i o n

For the Interdisciplinary programme final project named “Green Areas, Alternatives on the Alexander Bain Institute” we did many thing with the teacher Estela Soberón, in literature. The first thing we did was to analyze a poem. The poem was of Edna St Vincent Millay and it is named “The leaf and the Tree”. For this project we worked in pairs. What we needed to do was to read it and see what vocabulary words we didn’t understand and look for their meaning in the dictionary. Then the teacher wrote on the blackboard some questions. The questions were planned to made us think about little things. We answered them with the help of our teacher. To finish this work we wrote a final reflection based on the questions she made. Then we did another work that was fun to do it. We made a poem in pairs about “El Pedregal”. The poem we made is named “Mysteries of “El Pedregal”. It was easy to do it because it didn’t have to rhyme, just have a message remembering the wonderful things that you can find in this unique place.

With this poem I felt relaxed, just like being in a yoga class. This types of poems nurture your soul with wisdom, happiness and good thoughts. I think the author tried to transmit the people is that the process of life in all living things no matter how little they are, like a leaf. Also that the end life someday will come and we all need to accept it, because someday will take someone’s place. For example the leaf, it falls from the tree in winter and in spring another leaf will be there. This poem is not only related to nature because it talks about plants, but I think that is related to nature because plants are living things and they also have a process of life and we don’t have the right to accelerate its dead. In my opinion this author has a great style. I cant thing of something to criticize her. I loved that she uses rhymes and she transmitted so wonderful things at the same time. Her style is unique, creative and original by involving this types of things. I’d like that by making this types of poems people could change their way of thinking. For me this author really appreciates nature and all things that surround her and she is conscious about what is happening now a days. The thing I liked the most of this poem was the way she explained the message she was trying to transmit.

In class we also made poems. The authors Lillian Romo and Saori Kimura, made a wonderful poem about nature. What we wanted to transmit was an example of the incredible plants you can find in “El Pedregal” and all the mysteries we can find and some that we will never now about. Our poem doesn’t rhyme at all but we put all our effort and that’s why it’s worth it. This poem is related to our theme because our school belongs to the community of “El Pedregal”, and the poems are about the biodiversity that exists in this place. Saori Kimura <span style="color: #e36c0a; display: block; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 26.5pt; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">Final Reflection For the Interdisciplinary Project Alternative Green Areas in the IAB, in literature we read a poem about nature with the teacher. Then in teams the teacher gave us a poem also about nature, and we analyzed and talked about it. Then in the notebook we wrote the words that we didn’t understand and wrote the meaning. When we finished, we answered some questions about the poem and based in the answers we made a reflection. Then we split the I.P teams in pairs and thirds, and wrote a poem about nature of the pedregal of san angel. When we finished we have to rewrite into a sheet of paper and showed it to the teacher. Sebastian R.  <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 35px; line-height: 52px; text-align: center;"> Fi nal Re fle ct ion  ** The ** ** Lea **  ** f ** ** and ** ** the ** ** Tree ** <span style="color: red; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14.25pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">To do this project we chose a partner and read some poems the teacher gave us. Then we copied some questions so this is what we thought and what we answered. <span style="color: #e36c0a; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14.25pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;"> This poem tells me 2 things; first it tells me a story about a leaf that doesn’t know how to be part of a tree, a leaf on a tree. The second thing tells me the process of the trees, its cycle of life. <span style="color: #ffcc00; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14.25pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">I think it is a nice poem, I loved the theme the author chose; I learned some things about the cycle of life of a tree, just the important things. <span style="color: #00b050; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14.25pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;"> This poem makes me feel happy, curious, and at the same time I think it is boring, honestly. It inspired me; it makes me feel good because I think it is nice to learn with a different and funny form, reading a poem. <span style="color: #00b0f0; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14.25pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;"> I think it is related to nature because a tree is a plant, it is alive, and so, a plant is part of the nature. I also think it’s related because, like I said, it tells me the cycle of life of the tree so that’s why it is related. Thinking about the author, I think his style is perfect, it has sense and it is very well done. How I already said, I like very much the theme of the poem. There was just one thing I didn’t like, there were a lot of complicated and difficult words that did that I couldn’t understand some parts of the poem. - Giovanna Alva <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="color: red; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 20pt;">My <span style="color: #e36c0a; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 20pt;">st <span style="color: #ffc000; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 20pt;">er <span style="color: #92d050; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 20pt;">ie <span style="color: #00b050; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 20pt;">s o <span style="color: #00b0f0; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 20pt;">f “ <span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 20pt;">El <span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 20pt;">Pe <span style="color: #cc0066; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 20pt;">dre <span style="color: fuchsia; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 20pt;">gal”

El pedregal has unique plants only ones that grow in volcanic rocks. One of it is the mystic Palo loco is a unique plant of the pedregal. We have take care of it that’s why is there. By Patricio Chavero, Jose Pablo Mendez and Sebastian Ruanova Plants we want to use in our Ecological Garden



This are the plants we chose to put in our ecological garden.

Individual Proposals For Justification.-



- Lorenza Giner's Sketch.



-Giovanna’s Sketch



- Sebastián's Sketch



- Saori's Sketch

This sketches were made by each of the team members. Each one could use a certain number of plants and could design their proposal of the garden as they wanted.

Team Design Proposal For Justification.-

<span style="color: #ff6600; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin-left: 18pt;">

- Team's Sketch.

Based on the individual designs, the members of the team voted for the best sketch, and that sketch was supposed to be the team sketch. As we have many artists in the team and we couldn’t make a decision, we did a new one all together.

Group design proposal.-



Finally all the group voted for the best team design and ours won. This is our group design.

O u r P r o p o s a l t o t h e P r i n c i p a l s  Finally all was done, the video, the models, the sketches, etc… Ready for presenting it to our principals. For starting the event three kids of our group stand up and introduced our project. Then the video was reproduced and for ending the proposal we show our models. After the last group present, the principals gave us permission to make our ecological garden. We all were very proud, after months of working with all our effort we finally succeed. We all hope the garden will be such as good work as the presentation was.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> For making this video we passed through out lots of steps. First we needed to investigate about the original plants of the Pedregal and what is an ecological garden and the steps for doing them. A few days later Miss Loxá told us about a new project, this was about making an ecological garden here on school. Based in all the information we got, the plants we were going to use were chosen. The next step was making a proposal of the ecological garden in I.P teams. Then all the teams created its own proposal and a few days later we chose the best. The next step was to make a simple video, to show our principals our proposal. We made a script, we filmed, we made the music and we edited it on movie maker and finally the video was done.

Algunos días después de la presentación junto al profesor Rodrigo Gonzáles (profesor del laboratorio de ciencias) empezamos a realizar nuestro jardín ecológico. Pero al momento empezamos a tener algunos problemas. Primero el lugar estaba lleno de basura y nos tardamos casi dos horas en limpiarlo. Después no se había plantado como en el diseño y nos tardamos otra hora en acomodarlos en su lugar. Pero después de tanto esfuerzo el jardín fue terminado y quedo muy bien.
