the character of our cities is influenced by public space in particu-
lar. it represents the figurehead and backbone of urban development,
whether in local districts, on the city level, or in a regional context.
this book presents concrete spatial concepts and introduces possible
strategies for the redevelopment of public space, so providing
new impulses for urban renewal. in addition to aesthetic design, special
emphasis is placed on the role of public space as a social setting
for human encounters and communication; modern revival takes
precedence over pure reconstruction. this book will appeal to a wider
readership than urban planners and architects.

rural space is the blank spot on the map of
contemporary architecture. Cities are becoming
our living spaces, or so it seems; the countryside
is blacked out. What spatial strategies
are practised there, and how do they permeate
rural and urban ways of life and settlement?
Could a global hinterland emerge via
rural peripheries, countryside pioneers, and local
energies? What effect is the increasing concern with food production
having on architecture and urban development?
Landraum seeks instruments of perception and design with which
to comprehend the dynamics of rural areas by employing a spatialarchitectonic
approach. it presents larger-scale works—including
buildings—for discussion, and demands a rediscovery of the periphery
on the basis of studies, research projects, and artistic interventions.
this collection of international projects in rural areas made by
matthias reichenbach-klinke and his colleagues at the Chair of planning
and Construction is illustrated with aerial photographs by klaus
leidorf.
