The concepts of modernism and current practice
Friday, February 24, 2017 and excursion on February 25, 2017.

"LANDSCAPE - the concepts of modernism and the future of landscape" is this time the topic of the international exchange on particularly significant architecture and urban planning of the 20th century as well as on the current handling of the heritage of modernism. We will discuss concepts of modernism on the one hand and current projects and attitudes on the other hand with the question: "Which strategies offer interesting perspectives for the future?"

"THE MODERN" in Europe created numerous projects with model character, concrete utopias, new scientific disciplines, new modes of production and organization, and it gained influence worldwide.
Our two contributions to this, "Bucharest and the Colentina River Project" and "Rome and Raffaele de Vico and Italian Modernism", are representative of models that had and still have a lasting, timeless character.
What opportunities do the landscape contexts and the open spaces offer together with the development, for example in the Ernst-May-Siedlungen in Frankfurt, in the housing estates, the parks and ensembles in Berlin, the Volksgärten and the garden city concepts of modernism? What advantage will we have in the future from the generous sports and leisure parks in Munich and the conversions of the harbours, for example in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, or the renewal of both banks of the Main in Frankfurt, Museum-ufer, Osthafen and Westhafen as urban redevelopment?
What opportunities and potentials do contemporary ideas and trends in architecture and landscape planning offer? How can ecology as a theme of our post-industrial society be conceived and planned in urban space in the future?

Landscapes, gardens, open spaces are a living cultural asset. They have often grown over generations, are in a constant state of change, and are always experiencing new demands. They are not only a resource, but the elementary core of all environmental qualities, anything but a luxury or an ingredient. They are the actual inalienable basis and necessity, the prerequisite for quality architecture, urban space and living space, for urbanity, for public space, for freedom. That is why the question of currently valid research results and future concepts, strategies is particularly relevant for us here.

As organizers and in the name of all partners, we cordially invite you to meet
