Elemente der Landschaft. Flächen, Abstände, Dimensionen.

Abstract

Im komplexen Entwurfsprozess entwickelt der Landschaftsarchitekt Außenräume, die durch verschiedene Einflussgrößen geprägt sind. Wichtig sind Parameter wie Flächenbedarf, Abstände, Möblierungen oder Bewegungszonen. In dem Nachschlagewerk finden sich schnell konkrete Informationen zu räumlichen Situationen im Außenraum, die Bestandteil vieler Typologien sind.Our intensive use of urban and rural spaces is putting the environment under increasing pressure. Ever growing requirements are being imposed by demographic development, urban growth on the one hand and shrinkage cities on the other, climate change and energy transition. New land uses represented by solar fields, wind turbines and bio-energy crops are changing the face of the countryside while more and more traffic routes and power lines criss-cross the landscape. Enomous efforts are currently being made to adapt the existing infrastructurereally possible? Reowned authors, scientists and designers including Harald Welzer, Bernd Sommer, Catrin Schmidt, Weert Canzler, Antje Backhaus, Jochen Rabe und Julian Petrin answer this question in very different ways. One thing is clear, however: a green infrastructure must be more than a technical or local response. In essays as well as documentations of the best projects, "Green Infrastructure" presents the challenges, tasks and achievments of contemporary ladscape architecture. It focuses primarily on the best work from the German Landscape Architecure Prize 2015. The book also introduces the most important competition for the next generation of young landscape designers: the Peter Joseph Lenné Prize.
