Description
The life of plant
These are three plants attached to the building wall in Kassel University, which are in three different positions in the University of Kassel. The three different life stages of plants or the whole life-circle of the plant show a changing landscape over time.
Even when the plants die, the body is still been protected as a valuable landscape. Just like autumn leaves and dead trees in the winter are still appreciated by people. The landscapes (plants or the same with other forms of landscape), which can refly the inherent nature are the cherished landscape.
Background
In the program of Kassel University Campus Nord – Extension, the supporting walls of the terrasses towards the park are implemented by gardening. The most prominent existing trees are integrated into the design concept.So we can still see the old trees and new trees in the same time. http://www.raumzeit.org/NewFiles/kassel_01.html
Notice board
This is a non-physical landscape in Kassel University. Precisely for the cultural information carried by the non-physical landscape make the surrounding physical landscape into a vibrant landscape. Landscape is a term which produced by the human beings, only the landsape meet the need (cultual \physical\...)of the human beings can be full of energy, and can be a landscape.
And you also can see the material and style of the building; it just made us to associate a factory. Actually, the former Gottschalk factory grounds are acquired as the campus in the history of Kassel University. Different metarial and style make different landscape.And you also can see some historical and cutual information from that landscape.

Stone and tree
The combination of trees and rocks can be seen everywhere in the natural landscape. In the artificial landscape, extract the elements and the relationship between rocks and trees, and widely applied, which forming a landscape memory or symbol.
Prof.Stephen Kaplan in Michigan University surveys the landscape preferences of 30 people, which used the selected scenes in Australia, Canada, South Korea and Egypt. Everyone chose the natural landscape rather than the artificial landscape.Our most ancient instinct still influences our choice of the landscape. Just like Lawrence Halprin and other famous designers, most of the works are inspired by the nature.the nature is an important source of landscape.
Background
The first tree to be planted was placed in front of the Museum Fridericianum, here seen at night7000 Oaks - City Forestation instead of City Administration (German: 7000 Eichen - Stadtverwaldung statt Stadtverwaltung) is a work of land art by the German artist Joseph Beuys. It was first publicly presented in 1982 at the documenta 7. With the help of volunteers Beuys planted 7000 oak trees over several years in the city of Kassel, each with an accompanying basalt stone.
In regard to the extensive urbanization of the setting the work was an extensive artistic and ecological intervention with the goal of enduringly altering the living space of the city. The project, though at first controversial, has become an important part of the cityscape of Kassel.After five years the project ended in 1987 on the occasion of documenta 8. It is still alive. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Beuys http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7000_Oaks
