Research was performed on three former iron and steel works areas located in the Ruhr region in Germany: one of the Thyssen's ironworks in Duisburg – Meiderich, the area of steelworks complex Gute-Hoffnungs-Hütte in Oberhausen and the area of the iron and steel works Phönix in Dortmund - Hörde. Methods were applied specific to urban morphology. For each object of study a comparative analysis of the town plan was carried out. Town plans were compared before and after the revitalization process and special attention was paid to land use. This allowed us to observe morphological and functional changes which occurred as a result of the revitalization of the study areas. The research showed that the revitalization of post-industrial space may be conducted in many different directions but irrespective of that it has a huge impact on the evolution of urban space in both a morphological and a functional way.

    Postmodern Landscape Architecture: Theoretical, Compositional Characteristics and Design Elements with the Analysis of 25 Projects

    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS SAPIENTIAE AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT, 7 (2015) 7181 DOI: 10.1515/ausae-2015-0006 Postmodern landscape architecture: theoretical, compositional characteristics and design elements with the analysis of 25 projects Anna EPLÉNYI, Brigitta OLÁH-CHRISTIAN Department of Garden History and Landscape Techniques Faculty of Landscape Architecture, Corvinus University of Budapest e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Manuscript received April 25, 2015; revised May 29, 2015; accepted June 30, 2015 Abstract: This paper endeavours to highlight three aspects of postmodern landscape design: theoretical basis, composition and design elements. Postmodern theories, philosophy influenced the language of the postmodern landscape architecture and got materialized in the use of narratives, eclecticism, the Rhizome-principle. Postmodern landscape composition can be associated with anti-hierarchy, unusual structures, landforms, and playful moods. Postmodern design elements consist of the strong graphical use of colour and pavements, bizarre water features, unusual structures and buildings, postmodern sculptures and thematic garden details. 25 analysed projects try to capture the essence of postmodernism in landscape architecture as well as to reveal points of intersection within these projects. Keywords: landscape history, landscape design, comparative analysis Introduction There are numberless works discussing postmodernism, but, if we view these in relation to landscape architecture, we will soon realize that there are many gaps to be filled. This fact is even more intriguing since one of the best known theorists of postmodernism, C. Jencks, whose famous gardens, landscape designs have made him one of the leading figures in British landscape architecture, discusses postmodernism in The Language of Post-Modern Architecture solely from the perspective of architecture >1@.

    Annual Report 2015/16

    Annual Report 2015/16 Purpose The aim of the Foundation is: ‘the advancement of education of the public directed towards the promotion, furtherance and dissemination of knowledge of matters associated with the built environment’. We pursue these, where possible, with an emphasis on ‘the multi‐disciplinary nature of design in engineering and architecture’. Chairman’s Statement The year 2015-16 has been very busy with both extensions of existing projects and developing ideas for new and potential projects. Inevitably not all the work developing projects is successful, but when it is it can be the result of many months of work. As well as activities that we have funded (listed at the end of this statement); we were very pleased to be able to extend MADE’s work again for the outstanding educational programme they are providing to make young people aware of a career in the Built Environment professions. We have agreed two other small projects and an agreement to part sponsor an Academic in Residence at the Institution of Civil Engineers to help inform decision making for global solutions. Our financial position is strong, in spite of the continuing economic pressures, and we enter the next year with confidence in continuing the pattern of supporting both short and long term projects. This year we held a Strategic Discussion workshop for about 50 invited guests: The Next 25 Years of The Ove Arup Foundation and we wish to thank everyone who attended for the valuable contributions that they made to make this day a success. We have prepared a report on the discussions and we will be developing and implementing the ideas in the immediate future.

    Principles for Purposeful Business

    Principles for Purposeful Business Principles for Purposeful Business How to deliver the framework for the Future of the Corporation An agenda for business in the 2020s and beyond 1 Future of the Corporation Front cover Renewable energy generation illustrates the role business can play in investment, research, new technology, skilled work and solutions to the problems of people and planet. © Getty Images 2 Principles for Purposeful Business Foreword The British Academy’s purpose is to deepen understanding of people, societies and cultures, enabling everyone to learn, progress and prosper. Our Fellowship draws on the full range of the human experience – from politics to art, and economics to philosophy. The Future of the Corporation programme could not be a better example of the Academy’s work and its ability to draw on such a wide range of ideas. With this new report, the Academy is setting out the conclusions of our Future of the Corporation research and its extensive deliberations. The programme has made new connections, encouraged debate and developed new insights. By engaging a range of experts, practitioners and leaders from different parts of society and different disciplines, it has been able to bring a comprehensive view of the role of business in society. The Academy’s aim in this is not to make prescriptions or advise business on answers to their specific questions. Rather, by laying out an evidence-base and a set of principles we aim to provide a framework for others to build on. We hope that business leaders and their advisers will use this framework as a starting point to develop new practices, lawmakers as a basis for consultation on legal changes, researchers as a rationale for further research on purposeful business and teachers as a foundation for curricula to provide the new skills needed.
