V “Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known.” ― A.A. Milne VI Preface As a creative person with a great interest in the landscape I felt that the final result of studying landscape architecture for some time should involve a research topic that I was passionate about and the outcomes should be both academic as well as an artistic expression. This however created a struggle between designing with the purpose of supporting the research and designing with aesthetics and form in mind with the purpose of making something beautiful. Landscape architecture in my opinion includes both scientific research and a degree of artistry. So I combined both as I am convinced that a strong spatial design makes use of the existing spatial characteristics of an area to the fullest. There are a lot of processes going on in nature, in the landscape, which we easily overlook. The outcomes of these processes can make us stop for a moment and make us realise that these processes are actually continuously going on and we sense them at that moment not just with our mind, but with all our senses. The change of the seasons seems to happen almost overnight sometimes. Heavy rain can make us aware of the presence of water where we didn’t notice it before. So while we can look at facts, the dates that tell us when the seasons change or at a map showing rain clouds, what we see, smell, feel, hear and taste with our body does influence how we experience our surroundings and how aware we are of it. I am grateful to my supervisors for guiding me through the process of writing my thesis. I thank Jhon van Veelen for guiding me in the design process and Ingrid Duchhart for her guidance, difficult questions and for helping me be critical about my own work. I also want to thank Kevin for his help in the final stages of my thesis, providing feedback and supervising me in the effort of bringing everything together into a coherent report. VII Summary Landscapes with characteristic landscape qualities and a strong link to the regional landscape identity are important to preserve. Where urbanization and expanding urban areas have impacted these landscapes measures must be taken to guide changes. The landscape identity is both regionally defined and perceived by individuals. Urban areas especially affect the natural water systems. The cross border region of the Three Countries Park (Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands) has several strong landscape characteristics. In the case of Aachen urban expansion has affected the visibility of the landscape identity. The visual experiences, as part of the visibility of the landscape identity, of three stream valleys in and around Aachen have been researched. By research-through-designing the outcomes of the research and the analysis are directly incorporated in the design. The design process acts as a research tool as well. The final design aims to improve the visibility of the landscape system by designing a stream valley as a connected element. The landscape analysis introduces the landscape characteristics and explains the relationship between Aachen and the landscape, because the presence of the streams and thermal springs play an important role in Aachen's history. The landscape characteristics are used to guide part of the visual research. The visual research concentrates on the visual experiences of three stream valleys, the valleys of the Johannisbach, Gillesbach and part of the Wurm. The focus of this research lies on the visibility of the stream, the appearance of the stream and valley, dominant landscape features and defining landscape elements. The main findings show that; there are several critical points where the visual experiences are diminished because of obstacles, there is a lack of visual continuity and a missing connection between the springs and the tributary of the Wurm River, and that interventions can improve the visibility of the stream and the presence of water in the valleys. The outcomes of the research are translated into four visual design guidelines and 10 smaller specific interventions which should improve the visibility of the stream and strengthen the characteristic landscape system of the valley. In the design these guidelines are elaborated into three detailed designs for the valley of the Gillesbach. The continuity of the stream valley and the coherence of the system is shown by designing both the valley on a larger scale and the interventions in detailed designs on a smaller scale. The outcomes of the design can be important tools in creating awareness about the role of the stream valleys in future urban renewal and the development of the landscape. VIII Zusammenfassung Landschaften mit charakteristischen Landschaftsqualitäten und mit einer starken Verbindung zur Landschaftsidentität einer Region sind besonders schützenswert. Wo Urbanisierung und städtischen Erweiterung diese Landschaften beeinflusst haben, sind Schritte erforderlich um die Veränderungen zu lenken. Die Landschaftsidentität ist sowohl regional definiert als auch individuell lokal wahrgenommen. Städte beeinflussen vor allem die natürlichen Wassersysteme der Landschaften. Die grenzüberschreitende Region des Dreiländerpark (Deutschland, Belgien und die Niederlande) hat mehrere dominante Landschaftsmerkmale. Im Fall von Aachen hat die Stadterweiterung die Sichtbarkeit der Landschaftsidentität beeinflusst. Die visuellen Erlebnisse entlang drei Bachläufen in und um Aachen werden als Teil der Sichtbarkeit der Landschaftsidentität erforscht. Durch research- through-designing werden die Ergebnisse der Forschung direkt in das Design integriert. Der Designprozess selbst dient dabei auch als Forschungsinstrument. Das Design hat als Ziel die Sichtbarkeit des Landschaftssystems zu verbessern durch die Gestaltung eines Bachlaufs als ein zusammenhängendes Element. Die Landschaftsanalyse führt die Landschaftsmerkmale ein und erklärt die Zusammenhang zwischen der Stadt Aachen und ihrer Landschaft, denn die Anwesenheit der Bäche und Thermalquellen spielten eine wichtige Rolle in Aachens Geschichte. Die Landschafts Charakteristiken geben dabei der visuellen Forschung eine Richtung. Die visuelle Forschung konzentriert sich auf die visuellen Erlebnisse von drei Bachtälern, den Tälern des Johannisbach, Gillesbach und einem Teil von der Wurm. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf die Sichtbarkeit von den Bäche, der Erscheinung des Baches und des Tales, dominante Charakteristika der Landschaft und ihren definierenden Elementen. Die wichtigsten Ergebnisse sind; dass es mehrere kritische Punkte gibt bei denen die visuellen Erlebnisse aufgrund von Hindernissen vermindert sind, es fehlt an visueller Kontinuität und an eine Verbindung zwischen den Quellen und dem Wurm Fluss, und Eingriffe können die Sichtbarkeit des Baches und die Erfahrung von Wasser in den Tälern verbessern. Die Ergebnisse werden in vier visuelle Gestaltungsrichtlinien und zehn kleinere spezifische Interventionen umgesetzt. Sie sollen die Sichtbarkeit des Baches verbessern und das charakteristische Landschaftssystem des Tales stärken. Diese Richtlinien werden in drei detaillierte Entwürfe für das Tal des Gillesbachs ausgearbeitet. Die Kontinuität des Bachlaufs und der Zusammenhang des Systems wird gezeigt durch den Entwurf von Tal und die Interventionen in detaillierten Designs in einem kleineren Maßstab. Die Ergebnisse des Designs können wichtige Mittel sein um Bewusstsein zu schaffen über die

At the centre of the Route Charlemagne is the former palace complex of Charlemagne, with the Katschhof, the Town Hall and the Cathedral still bearing witness today of a site that formed the focal point of the first empire of truly European proportions. Aachen is a historical town, a centre of science and learning, and a European city whose story can be seen as a history of Europe. This story, along with other major themes like religion, power, economy and media, are all reflected and explored in places like the Cathedral and the Town Hall, the International Newspaper Museum, the Grashaus, Haus Löwenstein, the Couven-Museum, the Axis of Science, the SuperC of the RWTH Aachen University and the Elisenbrunnen. The central starting point of the Route Charlemagne is the Centre Charlemagne, the new city museum located on the Katschhof between the Town Hall and the Cathedral.

He paid for that activity with 862 days in incarceration under extremely difficult conditions of detention in the concentration camps of the SS.1 Jewish Immigration into Palestine and the Founding of the Haganah2 In order to be able to effectively protect the new Jewish settlements in Palestine from Arab attacks, and since possession of weapons was prohibited under the British Mandatory administration, arms and munitions initially were generally being smuggled into Palestine via French- controlled Syria. The leaders of the Haganah and Histadrut transformed the Haganah with the help of the Jewish Agency from a more or less untrained militia into a paramilitary group. The organization, led by Yisrael Galili (1911–1986), which in the rapidly growing Jewish towns had approximately 10,000 members, continued to be subordinate to the civilian leadership of the Histadrut.

  • Holocene Alluvial Sediment Deposition in Contrasting Environments in Northwestern Europe
    298 Sediment Dynamics in Changing Environments (Proceedings of a symposium held in Christchurch, New Zealand, December 2008). IAHS Publ. 325, 2008. Holocene alluvial sediment deposition in contrasting environments in northwestern Europe B. NOTEBAERT & G. VERSTRAETEN Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, K.U. Leuven, Celestijnenlaan 200E, B-3001 Leuven, Belgium [email protected] Abstract The total mass of Holocene alluvial sediment storage was estimated for three Belgian catchments (Dijle, Gulp and Amblève), with areas ranging between 47 and 1070 km2. The Dijle and Gulp catchments have comparable, rather intensive, land-use histories, while the land use in the Amblève catchment is less intensive and developed more recently. Topography is more pronounced in the Amblève catchment and more gentle in the Dijle catchment. In total, 1070 hand augerings were made to study fluvial deposition at 96 cross-sections across the flood plain. Average flood-plain deposition masses for the different catchments were calculated at different spatial scales. The results show that alluvial sediment storage is much higher for the Dijle catchment (464 103 Mg/km2 catchment area) compared to the Gulp (128 103 Mg/km2) and Amblève catchment (33 103 Mg/km2). Comparison with other data from West European catchments shows that alluvial sediment storage is much larger for the Dijle catchment, while that for the Amblève is very low. These differences between catchments can be attributed to their land-use history. Land use plays a role in both the soil erosion rates and in the sediment transport towards the fluvial system. Radiocarbon dating results for the Dijle flood plain indicate that major changes in land use are responsible for changing flood plain sedimentation.

  • Discharge, Distance to the Source, and Floodplain Geometry
    Sediment and the Environment (Proceedings of the Baltimore Symposium, May 1989) IAHS Publ. no. 184, 1989. Metal dispersal in the fluvial system of the River Geul: The role of discharge, distance to the source, and floodplain geometry H. Leenaers Department of Geography, State University of Utrecht P.O. Box 80. 115, 3508 TC Utrecht, The Netherlands M. C. Rang Department of Works, Province of Limburg P. O. Box 5700, 6202 MA Maastricht, The Netherlands ABSTRACT Due tö mining activities in the past, the floodplain soils of the river Geul are severely polluted with heavy metals, especially lead, zinc and cadmium. In the present situation, two active sources of heavy metals are recognized. Older floodplain sediments, which have been contaminated by the disposal of solid waste, are reworked and continue to function as a major source of heavy metals during floods. Erosion and leaching of spoil heaps that are still present along the channel and on the river banks are additional sources of heavy metals. As a result of an increased activity of these sources during flood events, for at-a-station measurements only a weak nega­ tive relation was found between river discharge and metal concentra­ tions of suspended sediments. However, downstream observations rêveal an exponential decay of metal concentrations that is due to dilution with relatively clean bed, bank and hillslppe material. Moreover, differences in geochemical mobility and specific density may cause ; metal-specific decay rates during low flow conditions. During flood events suspended sediments are deposited in the floodplain area. Local floodplain characteristics such as inundation frequency and geomorphology reflect a spatial pattern of soil pollution that con­ sists of local deviations from the general, exponential decay pat­ tern.
