Eine Plattform für die Wissenschaft: Bauingenieurwesen, Architektur und Urbanistik
This chapter explores the relationship between artifice and the urban garden through the fragile traces of the English 18th‐century pleasure garden, then German post‐war international garden exhibitions and particularly Planten un Blomen in Hamburg. The gardens responded to the desire to escape the context of the everyday, in order to rehearse or re‐enact and literally to refashion identity. The sense of sensory and social inversions was essential to the concept of the pleasure garden, from the heavily tainted life of the city beyond to the fragile make‐believe of the artifice within. Sydney Gardens in Bath, principally as a result of having been drawn tightly into the urban fabric, is the only pleasure garden of the period to have survived, and even then only in topographical outline. Finally, the chapter ends with an analysis of the post‐industrial landscape of Duisburg‐Nord, a seminal late 20th‐century landscape design.
