fellépk
Fellépk is a term used in landscape architecture and civil engineering to describe a system of elevated, stepped platforms on slopes designed to stabilize terrain while enabling human use. The term is a neologism in design discourse and is not tied to a single standardized implementation. In practice, fellépk refers to a sequence of level pads created by partial retaining structures, often combining reinforced earth, stone, timber, and geosynthetic materials. Each platform supports a different function, such as pathways, cultivation, or small-scale structures, and is connected by stairs or ramps.
Design and construction of fellépk platforms emphasize slope stabilization, drainage, and adaptability. Drainage layers are integrated
Applications commonly cited for fellépk include hillside villages, terraced vineyards, disaster-prone regions seeking erosion control, and
