Space and Culture

Deutschlandscape:

The fresh overview of over 38 built projects throughout Germany dating between 2000 and 2004 is a deliberate shift in focus away from metropolitan urban centres to the more peripheral areas on the urban fringe. Deutschlandscape is an assemblage, the word itself a laconic parody of a typology. A hybrid scape, it intends to provide a variable frame for a heterogeneous selection of architectural projects that undertake to reactivate spaces within the urban sprawl, suburban and de-industrialised zones. These are residual, often overlooked spaces, the amorphous in-between spaces which evade description, or those which have outlived their former usefulness.
