Topotek 1 Rosemarie Trockel : A Landscape Sculpture for Munich

The new and extremely playful park in Munich is the result of a collaboration between them. It covers a three-hundred-meter section of railroad tracks and creates urgently needed open space for the neighborhood of Theresienhöhe. In addition to the design, technically demanding questions like the approach to statics, acoustics, and traffic safety also needed to be solved. This has been achieved with an intricate and elaborate mix of gravel, pine trees, plastic, artificial turf, styrofoam, and concrete, which creates varied textures for the site. This monograph examines the new park design in a number of essays and documents the design and production process.
