Landscape Architects from all over the world coming to 

Hochschule Anhalt 

For the 14th time Landscape Architects and Planners from more than 30 

different countries will attend the conference “Digital Landscape Architecture” 

held from 6 till 8 June, 2013 at the Anhalt University. Today it is already possible 

to interactively and digitally design our world using a mobile tablet PC with 

connection to the relevant geographic data. Together we want to discuss the 

future of this development with national and international partners. 

The most current contents of the 50 lectures on interactive movement within 

virtual landscape using mobile tablet PC and using CroudSourcing in urban 

planning will also be addressed in seven workshops in the afternoon sessions in 

addition to this year’s conference we are bringing to you top professionals from 

leading digital landscape architecture companies from across Europe namely: 

West8, KARRESENBRANDS, TOPOTEK 1 and GROSS.MAX. 

All supporters and friends of the Hochschule Anhalt are invited for the public 

concert during the conference dinner on Friday 7 June at 20:00 with the 

rockabilly band “THE MOO” at the stage of the restaurant of AKZENT Hotel 

AcamedResort in Neugattersleben close to Nienburg. 

The full program of the conference and the program of the excursion to the 

Worlitz gardens taking place on Sunday, June 9th 2013 can be found on the 

webpage of Prof. Erich Buhmann www.digital-la.de. Additionally it is possible to

Landschaftsarchitekten aus der ganzen Welt zu Gast 

an der Hochschule Anhalt. 

Vom 6. bis 8. Juni 2013 empfängt die Hochschule Anhalt zur diesjährigen 14-ten 

Konferenz „Digital Landscape Architecture“ Landschaftsarchitekten und Planer 

aus mehr als dreißig Ländern. 

Die interaktive digitale Gestaltung unserer Welt ist heute auf mobilen Tablet PCs 

mit unmittelbarem Zugriff auf die jeweiligen geographischen Daten möglich. 

Gemeinsam mit nationalen und internationalen Partnern werden dabei im 

Bernburger Kurhaus Forschungsergebnisse und Zukunftsfragen diskutiert. Diese 

Veranstaltung reiht sich in die Aktionswoche „Bernburger Saalesommer“ ein, bei 

der 20 Jahre Landschaftsarchitektur-Ausbildung als auch 10 Jahre internationale 

Landschaftsarchitektur-Ausbildung an der Hochschule Anhalt in Bernburg gefeiert

Neben mehr als fünfzig Vorträgen werden an den Nachmittagen Workshops mit 

international renommierten Experten zu Themen wie interaktive Bewegung in 

virtuellen Landschaften am mobilen Tablet PC oder die Verwendung von 

CroudSourcing für die Fragen der Stadtplanung und die Verwendung von 

hochauflösenden neuen Fernerkundungsdaten angeboten. Die wissenschaftlichen 

Beiträge sind unter „Digital Landscape Architecture 2013“ auf 400 Seiten im 

Fachbuchverlag Wichmann erschienen. 

Fachlicher Höhepunkt ist eine Veranstaltung am Samstagvormittag (8. Juni), bei

Quo Vadis Landschaftsarchitektur? – Schöne neue Welt der Dienste und 

Services in der Landschaftsarchitektur und Umweltplanung 

Michael Heiß, IP SYSCON GmbH 

Matthias Pietsch, Hochschule Anhalt 

Landschaftsarchitekten und Umweltplaner nutzen und erzeugen eine Vielzahl 

unterschiedlichster Informationen im Rahmen der Erstellung der verschiedenen 

Planwerke. Während in der Vergangenheit der „Papierplan“ das wesentliche 

Kommunikationsmittel war, treten an dessen Stelle zunehmend neue 

Kommunikationsmedien. Portallösungen für unterschiedlichste 

12

Anwendungszwecke oder Apps ermöglichen einen nahezu unbeschränkten 

Kommunikationsprozess und Informationsfluss. 

Dadurch ergeben sich einerseits eine Vielzahl an Möglichkeiten der Einbindung 

von Bürgern und Entscheidern im Rahmen partizipativer Planungsprozesse, die 

durch die steigende Komplexität rechtlicher und planerischer Rahmenbedingen 

an Bedeutung gewinnt. Andererseits besteht damit die Möglichkeit 

Informationen aus verteilten Systemen plattformunabhängig 

zusammenzuführen. Dadurch ergeben sich jedoch neue Anforderungen an das 

Datenmanagement sowie notwendige Kenntnisse über die Verwendung 

anerkannter technischer und fachlicher Standards. 

Abb. 1: Ausschnitt aus einem GIS-Auskunftssystem unter Nutzung des XPlanung- 

Standard 

Im genannten Workshop soll eine kurze Einführung in die Bedeutung und 

Nutzbarkeit derzeit verfügbarer Dienste und Services für Fragestellungen der 

Landschaftsarchitektur und Umweltplanung gegeben werden. Anhand 

praktischer Beispiele soll auf die Nutzbarkeit, die organisatorischen und 

technischen Voraussetzungen sowie die Anforderungen an das zukünftige 

technische Know-How von Landschaftsarchitekten und Umweltplanern 

eingegangen werden. Gemeinsam mit den Teilnehmern sollen aktuelle Probleme 

aus dem Planungsalltag diskutiert werden.

Geodesign Summit 2014 

29–30, 2014 Esri Headquarters 

Redlands, California 

The 4 th Geodesign Summit will be held at Esri Headquarters in Redlands, 

California 24-25 January, 2013. We would like to invite you to save the date and 

prepare to register to attend the summit and sign up for hands-on workshops 

and seminars we will have on the second day. A call for papers will be announced 

in the coming months. 

The Geodesign Summit is an annual gathering of professionals interested in using 

geospatial technologies to arrive at the best and most sustainable design 

solutions. The two-day summit focuses on geodesign frameworks, workflows, 

applications, and the sharing of real-world examples of geodesign in practice. 

The overall goal of the Geodesign Summit is to help people find innovative 

solutions to the most pressing challenges by fusing design processes with 

geospatial technologies. 

Who should attend? 

The Geodesign Summit draws from a multitude of interdisciplinary experiences. 

GIS and design professionals across all industries that should attend 

include architects, landscape architects, regional and urban planners, 

landscape ecologists, researchers, academics, scientists, environmental 

planners, developers, and civil engineers. 

Benefits of Attending 

The Geodesign Summit is the ultimate event for anyone working at the 

intersection of geography and design. The breadth and depth of sessions, 

the opportunities for hands-on learning, and the many ways to cultivate 

skills and relationships make it a must-attend event.
