Summary:
City by Landscape documents the work of a landscape architect active in the interface between urban planning, open space planning and architecture. For many years Rainer Schmidt Landschaftsarchitekten + Stadtplaner have been among the leading offices in the fields of landscape and urban planning; the projects are also increasingly being realized internationally, above all in North Africa, the Middle East and China. The company's overriding objective is to find answers to the urban-planning problems of today, and to do so in the awareness that 21st century landscape architecture should be a 'built' reflection on how people deal with one another and with nature. The office puts these answers into practice as designs and strikes a successful balance between design, functions and feelings. The intelligent use of natural resources is of prime importance for the work of the office so as to maximize the ecological, economic and social impact of the projects. In various essays the book addresses the central topics in Schmidt's work and documents some 40 selected projects including the highlight Business Towers in Munich, the park city Schwabing, the Congress Center Doha and the Great Mosque of Algiers.
Rainer Schmidt Landschaftsarchitekten + Stadtplaner gehört seit vielen Jahren zu den führenden Büros in den Bereichen Landschafts- und Stadtplanung, dessen Projekte zunehmend auch international realisiert werden - vornehmlich in Nordafrika, dem Mittleren Osten und China. Ziel des Büros ist es, Antworten auf die städtebaulichen Probleme unserer Zeit zu finden, und zwar im Bewusstsein darüber, dass die Landschaftsarchitektur des 21. Jahrhunderts eine realistische Reflektion darüber sein sollte, wie sich Menschen miteinander und mit der Natur auseinandersetzen. Diese Antworten setzt das Büro in Entwürfe um und findet dabei eine gelungene Balance zwischen Gestaltung, Funktionen und Empfindungen. Die kluge Nutzung natürlicher Ressourcen ist für die Arbeit des Büros von vorrangiger Bedeutung, um die ökologische, ökonomische und auch soziale Wirkung der Projekte zu optimieren. Das Buch widmet sich in verschiedenen Essays den zentralen Themen in Schmidts Werk und dokumentiert ca. 40 ausgewählte Projekte, darunter die Highlight Business Towers in München, die Parkstadt Schwabing, das Kongresszentrum Doha und die Große Moschee in Algier
