Landscape and/or urban context of your case

Landschaftspark is a public park located in Duisburg Nord, Germany.

It was a agricultural land, prior to the mid 19th century.

Then it became a coal and steel production plant, which has been abandoned in 1985.

The area had been leaving significantly polluted.

In 1991 Latz + Partner (Peter Latz) has win the design competition for this area.

The intention is to to heal and understand the industrial past, rather than trying to reject it.

What are the objectives of your design?

Iwein Mertens: The site/park is not only a good example for the re-use of it, but it is also a very great statement to the people. Not only would they waist "our" money by demolishing everyting, but the recyling from an old industrial material (cooling tank) to an object that the people know and like (lilypond). And it shows that the use-age of green still has hope in the industrial areas.

Design Synthesis

Please analyse the individual approaches presented so far and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses (you may use the SWOTanalysis model). Try to create a synthesis and represent it with a plan and some sketches. You can still use drawings/sketches.

Summary of the collaborative process

Please reflect on your collaborative design process. Which potentials have you encountered? What was most difficult? What does collaborative design mean for you? (approx 150 words).
