Redesigning
Wounded
Landscapes
The IBA Workshop in Lausatia
JovIs
our global thirst for energy and raw
materials is increasing all the time.
Year after year, humanity exhausts
large quantities of mineral resources;
the areas of the world in which we drill
and dig for oil, gas, coal, gravel, clay
and ore are becoming more and more
remote, and the range of resources demanded
is expanding constantly. Lusitania
is a prime example of this kind of
resource depletion. Unrestrained openpit
mining during the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries has devastated the
region, and ten years ago this
“wounded landscape” became the subject
of an International Building exhibition
dedicated to providing creative
designs for a post-mining landscape.
What are the possibilities of such landscapes?
What methods and processes
may be applied in regions beyond
Lusatia? In Redesigning Wounded
Landscapes, ten authors explore these
questions, looking at the region and
the project from a wide range of perspectives.

Meisse:
Museumsinsel
Berlin
wAsMuTh
Introduction by hans kollhoff.
one of Berlin’s best-known attractions,
the museumsinsel (or museum Island)
is a complex of five historic art museums
located on an island in the Bree
river, within the city’s mitte district.
the museums are the altes museum,
built in 1830; the neues museum, built
in 1859, and recently reconstructed by
David Chipperfield; the alte nationalgalerie,
completed in 1876; the Bode
museum, which opened in 1904; and
the pergamon museum, built in 1930.
the collective holdings of these five
museums are among the world’s finest,
but the museums themselves are all
breathtaking architectural specimens,
as UneSCo recently recognized by
designating the museumsinsel a
World Cultural heritage site. Until now,
this unique ensemble of museums has
never been thoroughly documented. In
this volume, architectural photographer
maximilian meisse celebrates the
rich variety of the museumsinsel. as
architect Hans Kollhoff writes in his
preface, meisse’s photographs “create
an urban crown for Berlin.”

Megastructure
Schiphol
Design in Spectacular
Simplicity
nAI PubLIshers
edited with text by koos bosma.
Text by Marieke berkers, Iris burgers,
Abdel el Makhloufi, et al.
the amsterdam airport Schipol can
genuinely be called a megastructure.
originally opened in 1916, Schipol
has been added to in fits and starts
over the years, maintaining throughout
its construction an extraordinary
consistency and simplicity of design,
and expanding to become a city in
its own right. now one of the world’s
busiest airports, Schipol enjoys an
iconic status in Holland, and not
only because of its sheer scale—its
signage, for example, developed by the
information design firm mijksenaar,
has been adopted by airports all
around the world and is admired today
as a classic motif of Dutch Design.
Megastructure Schipol looks at the
history of Schipol: its metamorphoses
over the years; its function as a
model for other airports; and its
unique accommodation of the
surrounding metropolis, in terms
of economics, infrastructure, design
and image-making.

Christ & Gantenbein:
Around the Corner
hATJe CAnTz
Text by Markus breitschmid, victoria
easton. Interview by victoria easton.
emmanuel Christ (born 1970) and
Christoph gantenbein (born 1971)
are prominent international representatives
of the youngest generation of
Swiss architects. after completing
their degrees at the etH Zurich,
they opened their offices in 1998.
Completed projects to date include the
ancient tree pavilion in China (2007);
the renovation and extension to the
national museum in Zurich (2002);
and the conversion of the Swiss
Church in London (2010). In 2010, the
office won the competition to build
the extension to the Kunstmuseum
in Basel, which is scheduled for
completion in 2015. this volume
provides a general overview of Christ
& gantenbein’s work to date, including
their most recent proposals, but it
particularly focuses on two very
different projects: the volta mitte
Housing and Commercial Building
in Basel and the London Swiss
Church. an extended interview and
an illustrated essay elucidate the duo’s
design ethos.
