OverviewWith a great deal of precision and a lot of imagination, geskes.hack design parks as locations that simultaneously elicit surprise and build identity - and become a collaborative story told by the planners and visitors. Using practical examples and discussions of theoretical approaches, the book demonstrates the potential of parks in the Anthropocene. The landscape architecture firm has decisively shaped the aesthetics of German parks and horticultural shows over the past years. Here, it offers an insight into its working methods, which rest on storytelling. The book documents groundbreaking projects such as the Kienbergpark (IGA Berlin 2017) and the Sauerlandpark in Hemer - and, additionally, offers a practical definition of the elements that constitute contemporary parks. Text in English and German. AUTHOR: The landscape architecture produced by geskes.hack Landscape Architects is distinguished by a particular accuracy in seeing and designing spaces and locations. This accuracy enables a harmony of planting and landscape formations with elements of infrastructure, materials, furnishings, and colour schemes down to the finest detail.These landscape moods are not an end in themselves. The geskes.hack Landscape Architects style of designing landscapes enables the relating of the tales that can be created from a place. As a part of this, play has a key role in geskes.hack Landscape Architects' work of turning locations into attractive places, into attractions. This is done by connecting with the natural colourfulness of the landscape; thus, geskes.hack create everyday beautiful urban and landscape spaces from the specific situation. This involves optimally combining the skills of the landscape architects with the talents of the specific landscape that is being emphasised - the karst landscape of the Sauerland, the banks of Lake Schwerin, the recovered floodplains of the Raumbach valley in Vogtland, the Tru'mmerberg (rubble mound) in the east part of Berlin, or the former monastic fish pond in Upper Palatinate. On numerous occasions and in many successful competition entries and harmonious structural implementations of locations everywhere from the River Main to the Spree, geskes.hack Landscape Architects have proven their talent for accurately reading a space and conveying its story more beautifully than ever. In doing so, they have been successful time and again in presenting not only the spatial but also the temporal developments of cities and regions. Thus, they create parks for the present day. 200 colour, 50 b/w images Full Product DetailsAuthor: geskes.hack Landscape ArchitectsPublisher: JOVIS Verlag Imprint: JOVIS Verlag Weight: 1.640kg ISBN: 9783868595482ISBN 10: 3868595481 Pages: 272 Publication Date: 28 August 2019 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
