Short Introduction to the Area of Study
The park is in the south of Duisburg near the district Hochfeld. It’s an old area of a metal factory. Loidel and TOPOS landscape architects tried to open the place near the river. They developed an area of modern employments, living space, culture and leisure time.
The area is about 25 ha. and was finished in the year 2009. The architects decided to include the old buildings of the factory in their concept. To make the ruins more attractive for the visitors, the planners commissioned some graffiti artists to create a special concept for the buildings. Near these old colorful ruins is the “skate area”, which is very good accepted by young people.
Also the bridge form the main part to the river is an impressive building; it offers the visitor a great view over the park and the other side of the Rhein.

Exercise 4: Communication Concepts
Time frame: December 19, 2011 - January 17, 2012
- Based on the different landscape assessment approaches students will develop a communication concept for their area of study
- Which measures would be necessary for enhancing the awareness for the area?
- Students are free to choose their method.
In times of social network i think there should be a little bit of “new media’s” in the concept of the Rheinpark. My ideas are different: The first , would like to work with a webpage, that offers the visitor of the page differ parts of information and activities in the park. You can also meet friends in the chartroom and invite them to play for example football or do graffiti.
The second idea is “the walk around the park with art”, there should be more walls in the park where artists can present their work. So the art is more available. People can also lent headphones and mobile equipment to get information about what the artist what to show with this kind of art. So the visitors have the possibility of direct examination.
The third idea is to produce kind of a magazine, which shows the activities in the park and the change in the several years. It’s also possible to finance all sorts of activities.
