Description
The Landscape Park Duisburg Nord is a part of the larger Emscher Landscape Park, a component of the IBA Emscher Park post-industrial complex. The former sintering plant was heavily contaminated and had to be completely demolished. Today it is a flourishing meadow and a shady grove, a huge festival place, framed to the side of the blast furnace plant by the remainders of the former overhead railway and a high level walk. With a length of 300 meters it leads across the bunkers and gives views down into the gardens built at various heights and depths within the bunker site. - See:http://www.latzundpartner.de/projects/detail/20
Proposed design strategies were engaged with the existing remnants of industry, forming a new landscape.
