Travel in Tropical Islands: Enemies Coexisting in Peace
Travel in Tropical Islands: Enemies coexisting in Peace A.-Chr. Engels-Schwarzpaul An 1851 Punch cartoon of the London World Exhibition shows a “European rider Many thanks to Ross Jenner, with a spiked helmet” racing closely “behind the African elephant and next to Nina Corsten, Albert Refiti, Mark Jackson, Julia Gatley, Frances an American Indian” (Kaiser, n.d.). They waste no time on taking notice of each Edmond and the two blind other, but scramble furiously towards the finishing line. Meanwhile, contemporary reviewers for valuable comments debates nurtured pious hopes that intercultural encounters at the exhibition and criticism. would further mutual understanding and world peace. Likewise, Sigfried Giedion optimistically remarked of the Exhibition: “To take a turn about this place … is literally to travel around the world, for all nations have come here; enemies are coexisting in peace”(in Benjamin, 2002: 175-6). In 2006, a Tropical Village at the Tropical Islands Resort at Brand, 60km southeast of Berlin, features several houses from tropical regions, a Samoan Fale in their midst. Set on an oval, elevated platform, the Fale signals the South Seas’ eternal sun and balmy breezes. Its handcrafted Pandanus mats, carved posts, weaving and lashing details tell of an imaginary place where time moves at a different pace. As part of the €70 million themed resort, the Fale is sheltered under a 360 meter-long steel dome: indeed, an ex-CargoLifter hangar. Punch 20 (1851), p. 208. Both scenarios stage notions of progress, nostalgia and exoticism. In their creation of global public spaces, both combine labour and leisure in peculiar ways, so that Giedion observed enemies coexisting in peace, while the Tropical Village has been labelled a “One-World-Village” (Eine-Welt-Dorf). -
Attractions ENG FINAL
Speed to the limit this season with PortAventura PortAventura, Spain’s first amusement park is celebrating its 15th Anniversary this year. The park offers more than 30 attractions and is perfect for those looking for a fun and exciting holiday this season. PortAventura’s theme park stretches across 117 hectares and takes visitors through five magical areas inspired by the world’s continents: Mediterrània, Polynesia, China, Mexico and Far West. Across these five areas are 75 restaurants, 28 shops and ten entertainment areas. The park also hosts over 100 live shows for visitors every day. Mediterrània welcomes visitors to the park and takes them through the narrow streets of a small village by the Mediterranean shores. Mediterrània’s flagship attraction is Furious Baco, where daredevils can accelerate from 0km/h to 135 km/h in three seconds. In the Far West, visitors will find themselves taken back to the year of 1876 where the town of Penitence, Texas is celebrating Independence Day. The Stampida rollercoaster promises to make even the bravest person scream and will immerse riders in the middle of a truly chaotic buffalo stampede in the Texan desert. Another feature of the Far West is the Wild Buffalo crash cars. To experience the power and rush of the Colorado river, take a ride on the Silver River Flume, where visitors can speed down river rapids. As one of the park’s most popular attractions, this is not to be missed! The little ones can also get into the Far West spirit and go on the Grand Canyon boats, ride the Buffalo Rode cars or zoom around on the Tomahawk, the children’s version of Stampida. -

A Fale Samoa at Tropical Islands Resort, Germany: Performing Samoa to the World
A Fale Samoa at Tropical Islands Resort, Germany: Performing Samoa to the World Presented at the Samoa Conference II: Tracing Footprints of Tomorrow: Past lessons, present stories, future lives 4-8 July 2011 National University of Samoa, Apia, Samoa By A.-Chr (Tina) Engels-Schwarzpaul and Benita Simati Kumar Introduction: Performing Samoa in Germany1 Googling for an image of a fale Samoa (traditional Samoan house) in 2005, Albert Refiti stumbled across an aerial photo of the former CargoLifter hangar on the former Soviet military airbase, 60 kilometres southeast of Berlin. The roof looked at first like that of a gigantic fale afolau, but a closer investigation of the context revealed that the fale was actually inside it: the hangar houses the Tropical Islands Resort, where a fale Samoa forms part of a Tropical Village and where, from April to November 2005, “The Call of the South Seas” was the evening attraction. Further investigation of the Tropical Islands website raised interesting questions about the relationships between Samoan cultural forms and their iconic representation within globalised tourism and leisure environments. For instance, what was the involvement of Samoan professionals and communities? How do collaborations between Germans and Samoans pan out today, and how do they compare with the Samoan shows organized in nineteenth and twentieth century Germany?2 How do German visitors and local communities relate to the appearance of the fale Samoa and to the performers of “The Call of the South Seas” show?3 This is how our project “Tropical Islands – Virtual Worlds” began. Its goal was to assemble a range of perspectives on the history and context of this fale that would contribute to an 1 understanding of Pacific and global cultural exchange. -

An Aquatic Park As a Strategy for Waterfront Developement
GSJ: Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2021 ISSN 2320-9186 385 GSJ: Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2021, Online: ISSN 2320-9186 www.globalscientificjournal.com AN AQUATIC PARK AS A STRATEGY FOR WATERFRONT DEVELOPEMENT By BALOGUN, PROMISE JOSEPH Department of Architecture, Rivers State University Nkpolu Oroworukwo, Port –Harcourt. Abstract This paper identifies the importance of Aquatic parks as a strategy for the development of waterfront areas and the questions to address to ensure a successful waterfront development. The development of the areas at the waterfront has major importance enabling an appropriate insertion of human activities and agglomerations in an increasingly threatened and deteriorating environment. For cities located along a major waterfront – whether that's a lake, river, or ocean – figuring out how to best utilize that space without harming the environment can be a challenge. Many of the most popular activities, such as boating, can be highly polluting, and overdevelopment near the shore can cause problems with erosion, runoff, and contamination. Still, used correctly, waterfront property can be a key part of urban recreation space without contributing to these problems. However, in some cases, the implementation of these waterfront projects is driven more by investment needs than by community and environmental needs, with developers neither taking part nor contributing to the government goals of sustaining water and riversas assets for the country. Aquatic Park provides an opportunity for the development of economic growth within the waterfront area. However, the nature of sustainability assessment practice for aquatic Parks tends to be more focused on social and environmental aspects. Therefore, the aims of this paper are to investigate the relevant economic and sustainability assessment of Aquatic Parks. -
