Dear pavarh,
thanks for this one.
I love very simple ideas as well.
• How exactly would you implement and run this idea?
Yours Jesko
I was thinking like this:every person from Berlin should plant a tree.Maybe is hard to do that,but let;s say in 5 years from now every person has this duty: to plant a tree! The result? well....a lot more oxigen = a better life....and so on!:)
Nice idea ... and the ugly truth is that in fact the majority of people will plant trees only if you threaten them with something. Some of these organizations (http://www.plantabillion.org/) barely survive . Maybe is a need for corporations to do something in this area but why just trees ... in Berlin are a lot of empty construction areas ... plain , dirty, unused land that is staying like that for years. Why not to plant seasonal flowers and grass in that areas or partially .... also they can and make some simple cheap urban furniture ... and give this spaces back to the public as temporary parks (as long as the owners are not decided to built something there). (ex. Boxhagnerstr. X Holteistr.)
:-) To be sincere in Berlin I think there are enough trees ... in reality I miss the sun ... can you do something about that? :-))
another thought ... can work also Japanese style gardens useng the existing on site abandoned materials like gravel and stone ... but no planet saving here ... just the soul of the Berliner :-)
You no what ... I will post separately the idea mentioned above ... i think it has potential ... and since I consider that in reality is different from you vision ... I will be very happy if you will like to join me on it ... I never tried a collaboration on Jovoto and maybe is time to start one? What are you saying?
Thnak you for your comment and ideea! I'll be glad to collaborate with you in this project!I accepted your invitation on your latest ideea!
People will probably resent having to do anything. Something else I know about trees... they grow. Like, big. And then their roots start destroying the streets, and there is a huge effort to keep them groomed each year. So just have people plant trees wherever... probably not the smartest plan. :)
I do remember something like guerilla guardening, with seed bombs being thrown around the place... with plants that don't grow huge.
You got there a good question " Where will this trees be planted? " Where?where? the town is full of dust and concrete! We started to forget one of the most important thing on this earth: the NATURE! As for me,as an architect,I like to be close to the nature,to feel it,to smell it,to touch it! I will like places and spaces between the nature and so on. A big campaing about this thing with trees made be Berliner Sparkasse will make then more visible than ever.They will pay for the trees as well,as much as they can.Of course if you don't wanna plant a tree it;s allright....there are others!Let;s say 1 TREE for FIVE PERSONS! even like that will be Good for Berlin! :) thank you!
Pretty good!! I love trees into the cities!! great one!! trees are healthy for any city :)
I don't get it.
Did you had a look on google earth to see Berlin from above? Did you?
Every city could be greener and greener, that's for sure. Honestly: Berlin has a lot of green, a lot of parks, a lot of forest (even within the city). You write: Each person = one tree = that's 3,5 Million additional trees (that might be a goddamned huge forest i think)! WOW! And this idea competition is about BERLIN and Berliner Sparkasse. I can't see, how the client is involved in this idea. Impossible.
So again: it's always nice to have more green, that's for sure. That's the reason why i had the idea of a Kiezkonto ( a district account), where people come together , donate some euros, and then to decide, if they like to plant some trees (or do something else) with the money.
But this idea sounds like a law! and being therefore not realistic at all.
Or i am wrong?
I'm sorry if you see it like a law or something!It's just about a better life:more oxigen for the city..that means healty people.My questions is....what kind of architect are you if you don't like trees?
i don't agree with lecorb...more trees merrier it is.. not all people have time to plant trees and take care of them, a little population will be doing it so in no case a forest will be made ..
dear pavarh: i think you did not read my concern carefully. I LOVE TRESS, plants, flowers! I will always do. and therefore i am happy to live in a city where the green is not far away!
I think that this idea could be implemented with the help of the CityHall because you need a big terrain (or severals) where to plant all those trees. But for sure that would be not good, but PERFECT for Berlin.
I think you need to think about another mechanic instead of " 1 tree per person" or "1 tree for five persons". Look at the campaign from pornhub: http://t3n.de/news/clever-billig-pornhub-lockt-542440/
They connected the total count of tree with activity of the community: more videoviews - more trees.
