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. The extent to which revitalization affects morphological and functional structure of urban space depends on the future plan for the spatial development of the site and its attitude to its post-industrial heritage.

According to LORENS’S (2010) degraded part of the town. It includes comprehensive division brownfield sites are included in the third changes in spatial, functional, urban, infrastructural, group – the areas with technical and industrial social and environmental structure of the urban infrastructure. Characteristic features of this group space. It is a particularly complex, long-lasting are: the loss of hitherto function and the exclusion and interdisciplinary process, in which numerous from use, and also the lack of permanent inhabitants. organizations and institutions are actively involved The success of the revitalization of such areas is (KACZMAREK, 2001; HELLER, 2002; STAWASZ & SIKORA, dependent on external factors, in particular the 2007; LORENS, 2010; KOPEĆ, 2010). The notion of spatial accessibility, and internal factors such as ‘revitalization’ refers to actions conducted on the size of the area and the type of buildings (GASIDŁO, existing urban areas which, for various reasons, 1998; DOMAŃSKI, 2000). The advantages of have been degraded (BEHR ET AL., 2003). Considering brownfield sites are their proximity to the city the initial use of the urban space, degraded urban centre and the transport infrastructure (BEHR ET areas can be divided into four groups: 1) housing AL., 2003). However, the environmental pollution, areas, 2) multifunctional complexes, 3) areas with infrastructural barriers and ownership barriers 31 may make it difficult to re-use former industrial domestic fuel, but in the 18th century many forges areas (JARCZEWSKI, 2010). changed their energy sources. They switched Because of the specific circumstances outlined from wood to coal which increased the demand above, the revitalization of brownfield sites is for this raw material. The first steel on the basis particularly complicated. It is often associated of coal was produced in the Ruhr area in 1826. with regeneration (restoring value through Hence, an industrial landscape developed in the renovation or modernization) of historical buildings Ruhr area which consisted of coking plants, or technological monuments, it frequently requires steelworks, ironworks, employee housing districts expensive liquidation of industrial installations and factories.

This situation communities into these areas (DOMAŃSKI, 2010; lasted even after the World War II (HOPPE ET AL., LORENS, 2010). 2010; REGIONALVERBAND RUHR, 2006).

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@.

All of Peter Latz’s projects are infused with a desire for precise craftmanship and have a theoretical and scientific foundation based on a knowledge of the PETER LatZ HONOURED FOR interdependencies that underlie each project. HIS Life’s WORK German landscape architect Peter Latz has been awarded the Topos Landscape Award 2013. This is the first time Topos has honoured a landscape architect for his life’s work. Latz has influenced the profession worldwide. His Landscape Park Duisburg-Nord has played a particularly important role, and is consid- ered internationally to be a model for the conversion of brownfield sites. With this project, Latz set the basic standards for the design and use of post-industrial areas. His ideas about this former ironworks have also enriched the debate about what parks should provide at the beginning of the 21st century.

  • Landscape Architectural Approaches to Post-Industrial Sites: a Design Proposal for a Mixed-Use Redevelopment of the Atlanta Ford
    LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURAL APPROACHES TO POST-INDUSTRIAL SITES: A DESIGN PROPOSAL FOR A MIXED-USE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE ATLANTA FORD ASSEMBLY PLANT by JING LIU (Under the direction of Douglas M. Pardue) ABSTRACT This thesis explores design-oriented landscape approaches toward post-industrial sites. The economic, environmental, and social factors cause the rise of post-industrial sites and leave them three issues as challenges for redevelopment. The aesthetic values, including the views on landscape, nature, industrial heritage, and history, have important influence on the design of post-industrial sites. Analysis of case studies provides further insights into programs as landscape solutions to the issues. The final design proposes a mixed-use development of the obsolete Atlanta Ford Assembly Plant with a vision to preserve the industrial heritage of the site, clean up the site, and regenerate the site- centric area.
