GENERAL ETHICAL PRINCIPLES
OF HIGH-QUALITY LANDSCAPE DEVELOPMENT
To encourage protection of values and focus on quality
of human life, allowing and even promoting change.
![Page 11: INTERRELATION OF HERITAGE AND CONTEMPORARY …ehhf.eu/sites/default/files/201407/13._Juris_Dambis_Interrelation... · The high-quality, contemporary architecure takes in acount the](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022604/5b5ecd097f8b9a51328d0ec5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Each new high-quality object is a potential
heritage for future generations. The key element
is responsibility – thoroughly considered actions
focused on long-term development, where the
concept of responsibility is mostly oriented
towards acting responsibly towards future
society. We must try to do things that will be
acceptable or necessary to our descendants.
Such ethical philosophy is at the core of any
progressive development.
Contemporary art and architecture in
landscape that respects and highlights
traditional values can become the key to
strengthening the philosophy of their
preservation.

PEDVĀLE OPEN-AIR ART MUSEUM
Pedvāle open-air art museum in Latvia is a good example of
how the landscape of three demolished manors has
become an open natural exhibition hall for expressions of
contemporary art, thereby promoting understanding of the
value of heritage, making use of the territory and allowing
the meeting of heritage preservers with lovers of avant-
garde art.

into a new environmental accent

WEEKEND HOUSE ON THE “EASTER ISLAND” IN KALTENE
The heavy vandalised Soviet-era building out in the sea – a
building whose importance or lack thereof was illustrated by
the words „FOR SALE” that someone scrawled onto the
crumbling bricks – has been turned into a weekend house
with the studio. The spatial scope of the water pumping
station was preserved along with several elements of its
former structure

FOLLOWING APPROACHES AND PRINCIPLES SHALL BE OBSERVED:
People and quality of their life are at the centre.
Long-term perspective and responsibility towards

gathering of extensive knowledge on the particular
place, planning
Dialogue among various professional disciplines
and stakeholders leading to common
understanding

TO ENSURE HIGH-QUALITY DEVELOPMENT OF THE LANDSCAPE, THE
FOLLOWING APPROACHES AND PRINCIPLES SHALL BE OBSERVED:
Building a bridge between traditional, historic
values and contemporary artistic activities –
architecture, design and visual arts
Management and monitoring of the quality of
change – less by restrictive instruments and more
by inviting, recommending advice and successful
examples and explanatory analysis for all levels of
stakeholders.
Understanding that high-quality landscape is also
economic value which gives the society long-term
economic benefits.
