In the 1990s the landscape architect Peter Latz and his team
designed and executed a park that transcended all fashions and
trends. This volume provides insights into twelve years of planning
and realisation through photographs, sketches, plans and
explanations, and reveals to the reader a fascinating world in the
footsteps of industry. 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 abandoned the concept of
landscape art and of the beautification of agricultural and
woodland organisational patterns. Instead, he focused on the
information-rich web of urban infrastructure and industry. Peter
Latz presents the first in-depth account of his knowledge and
experience regarding this unique project in this book. Texts by
renowned collaborators complement the narrative with differing
perspectives.
