Campus landscape - Planning & design

The book takes a look at a subject area of public life which will become more and more important in the future: education. The prospective development of our societies will in future primarily be determined by the quality of culture and education.The following projects mirror a cross-section of all facets of different educational institutions : universities, secondary schools, primary and vocational schools, as well as schools for handicapped people. All sites have one thing in common : these institutions opened up for new ideas and concepts. The times in which structure and learning contents were determined by self-centredness are over. Instead openness and curiosity for learning determine the self-image of new generations.The new campus landscapes display modern examples of generating architectural and landscape qualities of the site and their interactions. Today, the consequent integration of architectural and landscape architectural concepts to form a coherent whole determines the quality of planning for different needs and in different yardsticks.
