A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The shaping of the transitional zones between town and country is an area for landscape architecture which is gaining in importance. Three landscape competitions for such areas took place and have been partly implemented in the ‘Berliner Barnim’ on the north-eastern border of Berlin. Agricultural use will have to continue because otherwise the open character of the ‘Berliner Barnim’ (approx. 1,400 hectares) cannot be maintained economically. The question of how deliberately designed nature (third nature) can be made to blend in with agrarian areas (second nature) ran right through the process. Designing within an agrarian landscape is a relatively new task facing landscape architects. The conceptional and design problems are exemplified by showing design schemes and partly realized areas. The demand for new images for peripheral landscapes is discussed, as well as the contemporary concept of the picturesque in art theory which is applied to some of the projects shown.
