6.5 Graphic development of prelimnary prototypes -DRAFT-

Prototypes of Landscape Units are an adequate mean to develop Amenity Design Guidelines. They correspond to the heterogene morphology of previously described Visual Landscape Units. Besides the primar visual aspect the prototypical design approach also manages ecological and economical issues in terms of amenity design. All findings of the first steps has to be taken into consideration for an adequate landscape design. Amenity Design Guidelines may therefore contain verbal and graphic descriptions of prototypical landscape units, based on the result of the Public Preferency Survey and ecological and economical needs.
Following draft shows manually done graphics of prototypes for landscape unit "Danube Valley" and "Plateau Flächenalb", which handle the problem of afforestations and their aesthetical and ecological effect. We intend to complete the study with

• photorealistic prototypes for all landscape units (Photoshop/GIS)
• prototypes for silvicultural systems
• visibility analysis for selected prototypes (GIS)
• reference to the economical and ecological situation (GIS)
• verbal description
