Book excerpt: Forschungen zur Geschichte der Gartenkultur, zu moderner Landschaftsarchitektur und zu Gärten und Landschaften in der Literatur sind einer der Forschungsschwerpunkte des Zentrums für Gartenkunst und Landschaftsarchitektur (CGL) der Leibniz Universität Hannover. Der Band 19 der CGL-Studies bietet wichtige neue Erkenntnisse zum Zusammenhang von Literatur- und Sprachwissenschaften einerseits und den "Garten"-Wissenschaften andererseits.Fachleute aus den verschiedenen Disziplinen haben sich anlässlich des 70. Geburtstags von Hubertus Fischer mit einer faszinierenden Vielfalt neuer Fragen den Gärten und Landschaften in und außerhalb der Literatur genähert. Die Beiträge des Bandes entwickeln u. a. "Transdisziplinäre Blicke auf akademische Landschaften", stellen "Reflexionen über Landschaften und Gärten in Mittelalter und früher Neuzeit" an oder wandeln "Auf den Spuren Theodor Fontanes". Es geht dabei immer wieder um Beziehungen zwischen realen und "Stimmungslandschaften", um Imaginationen von Natur und Landschaft und "Landschaften der Leidenschaft" bis hin zu den Gebirgslandschaften der Schweiz und der Klosterlandschaft Chorin. Ein Kapitel mit "Kulturgeschichtlichen Perspektiven und Fallstudien" rundet den Band ab und fragt z. B. nach "religiösen" Landschaften oder nach urbanen Utopien in literarischen Texten der Gegenwart.Mit Beiträgen von:Roland Berbig, Regina Dieterle, Konrad Ehlich, Jan Gehlsen, Harald Haferland, Karsten Jørgensen, Detlef Karg, Dieter Kartschoke, Wolfgang Keim, Hansjörg Küster, Günther Mensching, Gerd Michelsen, Maria E.

Download or read book Hanover and England written by Marcus Köhler and published by Akademische Verlagsgemeinschaft München. This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When George I, Elector of Hanover, was crowned King of England in 1714, he established a dynastic union between the two countries that endured until 1837, leaving many cultural and political accomplishments to posterity. The 300th anniversary of this union led the Institute of Landscape Architecture, Technische Universität Dresden, and the Centre of Garden and Landscape Architecture (CGL), Leibniz Universität Hannover, to take a critical look at the gardens that resulted. The symposium "Hanover and England: a union of state and garden / German and British garden culture between 1714 and today" was sponsored by the Lower Saxonian Ministry of Science and Culture. The resulting papers dealt with far more than garden history, addressing as well the background and channels by which ideas on art, agriculture, commerce, technology, literature and politics were exchanged. Given the encyclopedic interests of late 18th century thinkers, it was necessary to invite several academic disciplines to participate, in order to describe and discuss the cultural transfer between Great Britain and Hanover. The transfer of horticultural and artistic ideas very often flourished in the 19th century at different places. For this reason, the conference focused on two key aspects: the Hanoverian-British exchange between 1714 and 1837 (the period of the actual royal union) and the Anglo-German relations that endure to the present day. Als Georg I., Kurfürst von Hannover, 1714 zum König von England gekrönt wurde, begründete dies eine Personalunion zwischen den beiden Ländern, die bis 1837 bestand und der Nachwelt eine Vielzahl kultureller und politischer Errungenschaften hinterließ. Das 300-jährige Jubiläum dieses Zusammenschlusses nahmen das Institut für Landschaftsarchitektur der Technischen Universität Dresden und das Zentrum für Gartenkunst und Landschaftsarchitektur (CGL) der Leibniz Universität Hannover zum Anlass, sich kritisch mit den in dieser Zeit entstandenen Gärten auseinanderzusetzen. Das Symposium "Hanover and England: a union of state and garden / German and British garden culture between 1714 and today" wurde vom Niedersächsischen Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Kultur gefördert. Die Beiträge beschäftigten sich nicht nur mit Gartengeschichte, sondern widmeten sich auch dem Austausch von Ideen zu Kunst, Landwirtschaft, Handel, Technologie, Literatur und Politik. So schien es sinnvoll, unterschiedliche akademische Disziplinen zur Teilnahme einzuladen, um den kulturellen Transfer zwischen Großbritannien und Hannover zu untersuchen und zu diskutieren. Die Konferenz konzentrierte sich auf zwei Schlüsselaspekte: den hannoverisch-britischen Austausch zwischen 1714 und 1837 (die Zeit der Personalunion) und die deutsch-englischen Beziehungen, die bis heute andauern.

Book From Dangast to Colorado Springs

Download or read book From Dangast to Colorado Springs written by Gert Gröning and published by Akademische Verlagsgemeinschaft München AVM. This book was released on 2016-08-03 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irma Franzen-Heinrichsdorff was a 20th century landscape architect, who was not widely known in Germany. Her creative horticultural work included not least her impressive "landscape ideas" for private gardens, some of which are presented and paid tribute to here for the first time. In this book, Franzen-Heinrichsdorff's remarkable biography is traced using information from previously untapped sources. Franzen-Heinrichsdorff studied at the horticultural institute "Lehr- und Forschungsanstalt für Gartenbau" in Berlin-Dahlem and became the first woman to gain the qualification of "Staatlich diplomierte Gartenbauinspektorin", i. e. horticultural inspector, in the subject of landscape gardening. She thereby attained the highest academic honour there was in this profession at the time. Influenced by expressionism and with an interest in music and dance, the accomplished illustrator and designer had a promising career as a landscape architect ahead of her. Rather than marrying the distinguished solo flutist Alfred Tibursky, the father of her two children, she tied the knot with landscape architect Gustav Heinrichsdorff, only to divorce him several years later. Family-related and professional difficulties forced Franzen-Heinrichsdorff to give up her career, and she went on to run a children's home in the North Sea resort of Dangast for twenty years instead. Undeterred by intermittent harassment from National Socialists, she also cared for three foster children there over the years. It was not until later in life that she had the opportunity to work as a landscape architect once again in Colorado Springs in the United States of America; two of her former foster children and her son were instrumental in paving the way for her.

Download or read book Jewish horticultural schools and training centers in Germany and their written by Tal Alon-Mozes and published by Akademische Verlagsgemeinschaft München. This book was released on 2020-04-08 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 27 of the CGL-Studies – "Jewish Horticultural Schools and Training Centers in Germany and their Impact on Horticulture and Landscape Architecrture in Palestine / Israel" – presents the results of a symposium which was held in September 2016 at the Leo Baeck Institute Jerusalem, jointly organized by the Leo Baeck Institute, the Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning of the Technion, Haifa, and the Center of Garden Art and Landscape Architecture of Leibniz University Hannover. The volume presents four main chapters. The first, "Hachsharot in Context", deals with the context and changing role of Jewish agricultural training in Germany and Hachsharot in the time of the Nazi dictatorship. In the next chapter, "Perceptions of Nature", ideas of the Jewish youth movement about nature and landscape and the perceptions of nature among Hachshara members are discussed. "Hachsharot in Germany and Palestine", the third chapter, presents papers on Jewish horticultural training centers in Germany in the regions of Hannover and Berlin/Brandenburg, as well as on Gross-Gaglow, a cooperative Jewish settlement located near Cottbus, and on Kfar Ruppin and Sde Eliyahu, a secular and a religious Kibbutz in Israel, respectively. The papers in the concluding chapter "Beyond Hachsharot", deal with the lives and work of female Jewish gardeners and garden architects in Vienna, and with the Ahlem memorial and documentation center, established at the site of the former Israelitische Gartenbauschule Ahlem (Jewish Horticultural School Ahlem) in Hannover.

Book From Garden Art to Landscape Architecture

Download or read book From Garden Art to Landscape Architecture written by Joachim Wolschke-Bulmahn and published by Akademische Verlagsgemeinschaft München AVM. This book was released on 2021-04-26 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally, the area of responsibility for landscape architecture was based on the premise that the planning and creating of open spaces such as parks and gardens was the business of garden artists. Today, the training of landscape architects and future challenges of the profession include the protection of natural resources and the environment, urban planning or tourism - to name but a few. The international symposium “From Garden Art to Landscape Architecture - Traditions, Re-Evaluations, and Future Perspectives” addressed questions which, based on the idea of garden art, should help to reconstruct its historical development but also discussed the notion and the relevance of “art” in everyday work. The contributions critically reflect on the professional self-image of landscape architects at the beginning of the 21st century. The symposium in September 2018 was co-organized by the City and State Capital of Hannover’s Herrenhausen Gardens Division, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gartenkunst und Landschaftsarchitekturt (DGGL), the Volkswagen Foundation and the Centre of Garden Art and Landscape Architectur.

Book Environmental Policy and Landscape Architecture

Download or read book Environmental Policy and Landscape Architecture written by Joachim Wolschke-Bulmahn and published by Akademische Verlagsgemeinschaft München. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 18 in the CGL-Studies series, entitled "Environmental Policy and Landscape Architecture", is the result of an international symposium held in Jerusalem in March 2011 which was organised by the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute in collaboration with the Centre of Garden Art and Landscape Architecture. The symposium focused on how the many different facets of landscape architecture could help towards solving environmental problems. Sustainable Development and Landscaping, Environmental Policy and the Contribution of Landscape Architecture at a Local Level, Designing Public Open Spaces and Social Sustainability, Spatial Planning and Landscape Architecture in Israel/Palestine, and Water and Soil: Crisis and Conservation are the key chapters in this volume. The authors address a wide range of issues including the significance of religions in ideas about environmentalism in historical and current debates, how Palestinian society can meet challenges posed by the dynamic development of urban structures through capacity building in landscape architecture, and economically meaningful strategies for soil conservation in arable fields as part of agricultural sustainability in semi-arid areas. A key objective of the symposium was also to determine opportunities for cooperation in the field of environment and landscaping for Israelis, Palestinians, Muslims, Jews and Christians in a region marked by huge tension and conflicts. The authors are scholars of various disciplines such as landscape architecture, urban planning, technology assessment, philosophy of science, environmental communication and ecology, and come from Israel, Palestine, USA, Norway and Germany.

Book Gardens  Knowledge and the Sciences in the Early Modern Period

Download or read book Gardens Knowledge and the Sciences in the Early Modern Period written by Hubertus Fischer and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on the outstanding contributions made by botany and the mathematical sciences to the genesis and development of early modern garden art and garden culture. The many facets of the mathematical sciences and botany point to the increasingly “scientific” approach that was being adopted in and applied to garden art and garden culture in the early modern period. This development was deeply embedded in the philosophical, religious, political, cultural and social contexts, running parallel to the beginning of processes of scientization so characteristic for modern European history. This volume strikingly shows how these various developments are intertwined in gardens for various purposes.

Book Zukunft aus Landschaft gestalten

This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wie kann man Zukunft aus Landschaft gestalten und welchen Beitrag kann dazu die Landschaftsarchitektur leisten? Auf diese Fragen versucht der Band eine Antwort zu geben. Bald vierzig Expertinnen und Experten entwickeln ihre Gedanken zu Stichworten wie "Fragment" und "Freiraum", "Heimat" und "Horizont", "Wald" und "Wasser". Die Idee zu dem Buch entstand in einem Gespräch mit Bernard Lassus. Sie hat Professionen der Landschaft zusammengeführt und neue Ideen produziert. Von der "Imagination" als Provokation der Landschaftsarchitektur hat man bisher wenig, von der "Fraktalen Geometrie" als Neuansatz in der Gartenkunst noch gar nichts gehört. Der Band regt zur Fortschreibung an.Mit Beiträgen von: Gerd Aufmkolk, Werner Durth, Hans Jörg Duvigneau, Johannes Dziadek, Inken Formann, Anette Freytag, Christophe Girot, Gert Gröning, Stephanie Hennecke, Almut Jirku, Karsten Jørgensen, Peter Kees, Albert Kirchengast, Kaspar Klaffke, Thomas Kluge, Reinhard Komar, Stephanie Krebs, Hansjörg Küster, Bernard Lassus, Elisabeth Merk, Sarah Michaelis, Günter Nagel, Bettina Oppermann, Cord Panning, Martin Prominski, Florian Rüger, Sören Schöbel-Rutschmann, Hille von Seggern, Christiane Sörensen, Johannes Stoffler, Sigrid Thielking, Donata Valentien, Udo Weilacher, James L.

Book Ecological Thought in German Literature and Culture

Download or read book Ecological Thought in German Literature and Culture written by Gabriele Duerbeck and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume offers a survey of the contribution of German literature and culture to the evolution of ecological thought. As the field of ecocritical theory and practice is rapidly expanding towards transnational and global dimensions, it seems nevertheless necessary to consider the distinct manifestations of ecological thought in various cultures. In this sense, the volume demonstrates in twenty-six essays from different disciplines how German literature, philosophy, art, and science have contributed in unique ways to the emergence of ecological thought on national and transnational scale. The volume maps the most important and characteristic of these developments both on a theoretical and on a textual-analytical level. It is structured in five parts ranging from proto-ecological thought since early modern times (part I) to major theoretical approaches (part II), environmental history (part III), and ecocritical case studies (part IV), to ecological visions in different media and art forms (part V). The four editors have widely published and are actively involved in ecocritical literary and cultural studies. The group of editors consists of two scholars of German literature and cultural studies, Gabriele Duerbeck and Urte Stobbe (both University of Vechta), a scholar in German and comparative literature, Evi Zemanek (University of Freiburg), as well as a scholar of Anglo-American ecoliterature and ecocriticism, Hubert Zapf. All of them are involved in various projects and research networks on ecology and literature. The contributors of the individual chapters likewise are all experts in their respective fields, ranging from German literature, history, environmental studies, art history, music and art. The book is a unique and readily accessible collection of essays that is of relevance not only for a German and continental European but for a worldwide audience.

Download or read book Leibniz Garten Landschaft written by Hubertus Fischer and published by Akademische Verlagsgemeinschaft München. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646–1716), Philosoph, Mathematiker, Historiker und Diplomat, verbrachte die letzten vierzig Jahre seines Lebens in Hannover. Wegen dieser herausragenden Bedeutung für die Stadt wurde an der Leibniz Universität Hannover von 2010 bis 2017 eine Leibniz-Stiftungsprofessur eingerichtet, deren Aufgabe es war, Werk und Wirken von Leibniz zu erforschen und einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit zu vermitteln. In Kooperation der Leibnizstiftungsprofessur mit dem Zentrum für Gartenkunst und Landschaftsarchitektur (CGL) der Leibniz Universität Hannover und den Freunden der Herrenhäuser Gärten e.V. fand am 3. November 2016 eine Matinee "Leibniz – Garten – Landschaft" statt. Dies war international vermutlich die erste Veranstaltung, die explizit dem Themenfeld Gärten, Garten- und Landschaftskultur im Zusammenhang mit Leibniz' Leben und Werk gewidmet war. Die Matinee führte Wissenschaftler und Wissenschaftlerinnen unterschiedlicher Disziplinen zusammen: der Philosophie und Geschichte, der Baugeschichte und Geologie, der Literaturwissenschaft und Landschaftsarchitektur sowie der Geschichte der Gartenkunst und -kultur. Mit dem Band 7 der "Herrenhäuser Schriften" sollen die Vorträge der Matinee wiederum einer interessierten Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht werden, ergänzt durch drei weitere Beiträge aus dem in der Matinee angesprochenen Spektrum. Die Themen reichen dabei von Leibniz' eigenem Garten in Hannover, seinen Reisen durch den Harz und seiner Auseinandersetzung mit der dortigen 'industriellen' Landschaft bis hin zu Leibniz und China sowie zur Frage, ob Leibniz inspirierend sein kann für die moderne Landschaftsarchitektur.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, suburban growth and the decline of industry have left cities throughout Europe and America searching for creative and effective ways to revitalize blighted areas and reclaim underused land. In Grounds for Review, Andrew Theokas examines one particularly exciting tool for reinvigorating urban areas: the garden festival. These festivals, which began in post-war Europe, have been popular throughout the Continent for decades but are just beginning to gain currency in the United States. A garden festival temporarily transforms a previously derelict area, such as an abandoned factory lot, into a festival of horticulture, combining luxurious landscapes with exhibits and carnival rides. Most garden festivals last about six months--during which time they draw millions of visitors--but the success of the fair itself is only the initial step in a detailed plan for urban improvement. At the conclusion of the festival, funds from its operation are used to transform the grounds once again, this time with an eye toward the long-term use of the land. The enduring result of a successful garden festival is thus the transformation of derelict land into a community asset, such as a new urban park or an affordable housing project. Theokas considers here fifteen garden festivals--in Europe, England, and the United States--in all their dimensions. He examines the role they play in stimulating urban redevelopment, their effects on the practice of landscape architecture, and the contentious debates over their financing, purposes, and future prospects. This highly illustrated volume will serve as a useful introduction to garden festivals for all those interested in urban planning, horticulture, and the future of cities.

Book Cityscapes and Countryside in Contemporary German Literature

Download or read book Cityscapes and Countryside in Contemporary German Literature written by Julian Preece and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2004 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the chapters in this volume were delivered as papers at a conference on the same theme held at the University of Kent in April 2002. The essays collected here, by scholars from the UK, Ireland, Germany, and the US, address a topic of fundamental concern across all the disciplines engaged with the study of contemporary Germany: the evolving relationship between urban and rural space, the metropolitan centre and the provincial Heimat. The volume identifies and investigates a number of recent trends: the emergence of 'eco-literature', the renaissance of writing - in prose and verse - inspired by the new Berlin, the realignment of regional sensibilities, which is complicated by the troubled tradition of Heimat in all its literary manifestations, and the continuing disjunctions between East and West. Individual essays engage with the work of established writers (Günter de Bruyn, Hubert Fichte, Peter Handke, WG Sebald, Siegfried Lenz, Martin Walser, and Elfriede Jelinek) and emerging talents (Georg Klein, Christof Hamann, Ludwig Laher, and Arnold Stadler).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The understanding of landscape in the German-speaking area has some similarities with the discussions of the topic in other European languages and scientific communities, but there are some specifics. These specifics can be found both in the common sense understanding of landscape and in the history of scientific conceptualization. Special features of the common sense understanding lie on the one hand in the medieval roots, a strong romantic charge and the strong connection between home and landscape. With regard to the scientific examination of landscape, there are specific fractions and discontinuities in the German-speaking world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der Garten als Inspiration Der Garten verkörpert verdichtete Natur, so wie sich nach japanischem Verständnis in einem Tautropfen die Welt widerspiegelt. Diese Vorstellung kann als Impuls für die Imitationen japanischer Gärten in der Schweiz im 20. Jahrhundert gesehen werden, als Anstoß für die Einbindung japanischer Elemente und als Stoffumwandler vom Alpinum zur Trockenlandschaft. Die Autorin illustriert erstmals anhand von zehn Schweizer Landschaftsarchitekturbüros wie diese sich von miniaturisierten Gärten (Bonsai) inspirieren ließen, sich Szenerien (Shakkei) liehen, dem Reiz des Unvollkommenen (Wabi-sabi) erlagen und den Geist von Zen einfingen. Sie beleuchtet Parallelen zur Anverwandlung chinesischer Einflüsse in Japan und verortet das Phänomen in der Rezeption Nippons im Westen.
