5 + 2 Landscapes Lutzow 7

Author: Thies Schroeder
This book presents the landscape architecture of Lutzow 7, who owe their long-standing reputation to the civic open spaces that they have designed for the German Chancellery, the Reichstag building and the Jewish Museum in Berlin. They have produced about one thousand projects over the years - seven of which (or more exactly 5 built and 2 under construction) from Germany, Belgium, Italy and Ireland - form the main parts in this landscape-architectural monograph. Other sections strive to grasp the essence of Lutzow 7's approach to landscape design in a panoramic portfolio and also in a directory to important design tasks and typical solutions in the realm between wilderness and detail. Tom Sieverts, the creator of the "in-between city" paradigm, and Cornelia Hahn Oberlander, Canadian pioneer of the return to nature-oriented design and well acquainted with the partners Cornelia Muller and Jan Wehberg's work, contribute their personal views.
