Located in Duisburg, Germany, Landschaftpark is a total of 180 acres of re purposed industrial land. While the park was originated in the early 1990s, it functioned as a steel mill until 1985. Today however, it is as model for post industrialization landscapes and revitalization.

The park as a whole was designed by Latz + Partner (Peter Latz), with the intention to generate understanding of the worlds industrial past by preserving the site instead of wiping it clean. This concept however was born from the people, much of the surrounding community shared opinions and ideas about what the site could be, from this much of the final designed were born.

Landshaftspark Park includes multi-faceted combination of uses. Walking, cycling, playing, a restaurant, a beer garden, scuba diving tanks, climbing structures, educational stations, preserved plant diversity, gardens, light installations, etc. Overall the park is programmed with something for everyone.

Personally, I really enjoyed visiting this project. It is intriguing to see a sight that is still healing and changing all on its own, and by placing people in the middle of this we are educating them. I feel that by letting them in they themselves can judge what they value and what the future could be if we work to make it that way. As for how this can be applied in the U.S, I feel that people's minds are malleable and that industrialization cannot carry on forever if we wish to preserve the world we live in educating the people is key and sites like this could be potential solutions.

About Me

Hello! My name is Claudia Pool, and like any college student I am just trying to keep my life together. Honestly, I think it is pretty entertaining. For this reason I wanted to share my experience with you, so laugh, learn, and become curious. If there is any one thing that matters to me it is to live fulfilled and selfish. I mean to say that at this point in my life I live for myself so that in my furniture I will never question who that is. So live for you and make memories! Enjoy!
