description
The Landscape Park Duisburg Nord is one of the most remarkable examples worldwide of an intelligent and appealing approach to dealing with the legacy of industry. In his vision for the park, Peter Latz largely abandons the classical garden art concept of beautifying agricultural and forestal patterns. Instead, he focuses on the complex information system of urban infrastructure and industry. With this book, Peter Latz presents an in-depth account of his knowledge and experience regarding this unique project. Texts by renowned collaborators complement the narrative with various perspectives.
