Lecture: Berlin's Park am Gleisdreieck or the Art of Creating Lively Places
Saturday, June 9, 11:30 a.m.
Landscape architecture can be more than aesthetically innovative: It can contribute to integration in society, social stability, and a vibrant public life. But how does a park become an intensively used stage, a well-visited everyday location? What constitutes the „boon of life“ (Jane Jacobs)? And what makes a park urban? In my lecture I will try to address these topics at the example of Park am Gleisdreieck and will introduce a toolkit ready to be adapted to other park designs.
