Situated within the remains of a former warehouse, the design accepts the given conditions—the weathered walls, industrial remnants, and raw materiality—as active participants in the emerging landscape. Porch House demonstrates a productive position for small-scale landscape interventions: embracing incompleteness, cultivating hybrid conditions, and staging the possibility for future ecological and spatial complexity to unfold. - from the award statements]]> https://landezine.com/raleigh-iron-works-by-future-green-landscape-architecture/ https://landezine.com/raleigh-iron-works-by-future-green-landscape-architecture/#respond Fri, 22 Aug 2025 10:32:22 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=122845 Raleigh Iron Works: Restoring the Past and Forging the Future Raleigh Iron Works is deeply rooted in the city’s history, honoring its industrial past as a steel foundry and munitions manufacturer during both world wars.

It is precisely the abstract dimension of the playground, these unique specifics, that separate the playscape from strictly catalogue-based playgrounds and contribute to children’s emancipation and development. In doing so, it affirms play as a creative, cognitive, and social practice—contributing to children’s emancipation from rigid, predefined systems of interaction. The result is an outstanding playscape, both ecological due to adaptive reuse and socially fulfilling. - from the award statements]]> https://landezine.com/transforming-the-aproz-wastewater-treatment-system-into-a-playground-by-en-dehors/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/parc-belval-sud-by-agence-ter/ https://landezine.com/parc-belval-sud-by-agence-ter/#respond Mon, 17 Mar 2025 10:37:24 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=118123 Agence Ter: Since 2008, Agence Ter Karlsruhe is working on the transformation of the former steel industry site in the south of Luxembourg.

After the closure of the mines, the area, due to its scenic qualities, became increasingly popular with visitors. Now the Dark Line is a part of the tourism infrastructure emphasising the area's industrial heritage. The Dark Line is a generous, confident and yet careful intervention that materialises through a sequence of uniquely moulded rebars. The choice of the material fits the postindustrial site and handles all topographical anatomies, the site's historical charge and its purpose seemingly effortlessly. Complementing the lush green vegetation, the dark brown steel carries a dense atmosphere along the former railway and beautifully balances the transitional character of this space with a sequence of ambiences where one can stop, rest and observe. From a phenomenological perspective, the rebars are, essentially, materialised cross-sections that outline the elements such as fences, benches, and pavement. Elements are described by shaping the rebars as if they exist only through a series of descriptions. Besides the well-crafted material, the jury appreciates how masterfully the designers embraced and responded to simple spatial facts that often go ignored in landscape architecture, those concerning the shifting conditions of light, surrounding vegetation, morphology and cultural memory. The jury finds the Dark Line project as a sublime intervention that respects the local ecology and greatly enriches the site's functional, historical and aesthetical dimensions with incredible charisma and grace. ]]> https://landezine.com/the-dark-line-by-michelemiquel-and-da-vision-design/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/tangshan-quarry-park-by-zt-studio/ https://landezine.com/tangshan-quarry-park-by-zt-studio/#respond Wed, 21 Jun 2023 13:00:46 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=94811 Project Statement The Tangshan Quarry Park is a project to rejuvenate an abandoned quarry into a dynamic public space.

A clever, precise design of a path, with a sophisticated geometrical set of shifting positions, where platforms, seats or walls organize the views far away, and with the same movements build a very strong sense of place. The materiality of the realization continues and reinforces the design with a great coherence, forming this precise architectonic play with a restrained number of materials. A presence arises – a collision of space and time – and you experience a landscape at the same time very old and very new. - from the LILA Jury statements]]> https://landezine.com/lila-2019-objets-trouves/ https://landezine.com/lila-2019-objets-trouves/#respond Wed, 19 Jun 2019 09:43:54 +0000 http://landezine.com/?p=52101 From the jury statement: The project Objets Trouvés convinces with outstanding artistic quality and visible historical awareness. Moving the bunker from its ancestral place and letting it re-appear in a new one is both astonishing and effective. This blunt dislocation, which first reacts to infrastructural requirements and finally turns the bunker into a ready-made, creates a whole new quality of visual perception. It is in this aesthetic space of resonance, where contemporary infrastructure development ultimately becomes conceivable as a possible instalment of the European warfare history. Consequently, the actual traces of history are kept visible with a genuine purpose – although this required such an action as moving a bunker. As a bold and even radical gesture, the project inscribes itself in the infusible tension between past, present, and future on the one hand, and between absence and presence on the other. In doing so, it formulates a notable reference point for the contemporary discipline of landscape architecture as an artistically informed cultural practice.]]> https://landezine.com/lila-2019-objets-trouves/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/wirral-metropolitan-college-by-bca-landscape/ https://landezine.com/wirral-metropolitan-college-by-bca-landscape/#respond Thu, 16 May 2019 07:58:06 +0000 http://www.landezine.com/?p=45424 BCA Landscape: Bold colours and forms, robust materials, close attention to details and new blocks of coppiced willow trees transform a derelict dock edge into an iconic and memorable landscape in scale with the post-industrial waterside neighbourhood.

Especially interesting is the concrete linear play element that much like the old mining shafts runs through an array of wooden slabs that were supporting the underworld. Furthermore, climbing on the concrete gets increasingly more difficult towards the top and requires some team work, which, according to the designers, acts "as an immaterial reference to the hard physical work of the old mine-workers, who had to trust one another unconditionally". Reaching the top immediately pays off the effort of climbing.
