Synopsis:
- Berlin's Tiergarten is a metropolitan biotope of unique biodiversity and a vast public space beyond economic, cultural, political, or urban conventions
- This book examines this historic landscape from biological, socio-cultural, historical, urbanist, and socio-political perspectives
- Features contributions by international authors with rich illustrative material
Tiergarten is Berlin's oldest park, with more than five hundred acres of woodland in the heart of the city. Before it was absorbed by the city, the area that became Tiergarten was a natural forest. Throughout its history, it was used as royal hunting grounds and as a landscaped public park, and (in the years of hardship following World War II) an area where trees were felled for firewood, before changing social and political circumstances and the growing ecological movement led to measures to restore and replant this vast public space. Thus, the Tiergarten has become not only a very popular recreation place, but also a biotope of extraordinarily high biodiversity.
Generously illustrated with historical and contemporary photographs, Tiergarten, Landscape of Transgression takes readers through the history of the park, with an eye toward exploring it as a radical spatial expression - a space where humans and wild species and conflicting histories coexist in close proximity, and as a model for future environments in areas of intense urbanisation. Born of a recent symposium staged by Technische Universität Berlin, this book brings together twelve essays with a range of archival documents, including newspaper articles, maps, reports, plans, and photographs.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Tiergarten is Berlin's oldest park, with more than five hundred acres of woodland in the heart of the city. Before it was absorbed by the city, the area that became Tiergarten was a naturally occurring forest. Throughout its history, it was used as royal hunting grounds and as a landscaped public park, and-in the years of hardship following World War II-an area where trees were felled for firewood, before changing social and political circumstances and the growing ecological movement led to measures to restore and replant the vast public space. Thus, the Tiergarten has become not only a very popular place of recreation but as well a biotope of extraordinarily high biodiversity. Generously illustrated with historical and contemporary photographs, Tiergarten, Landscape of Transgression takes readers through the history of the park, with an eye toward exploring it as a radical spatial expression-a space where humans and wild species and conflicting histories coexist in close proximity, and as a model for future environments in areas of intense urbanization. Born of a recent symposium staged by Technische Universität Berlin, the book brings together twelve essays with a range of archival documents, including newspaper articles, maps, reports, plans, and photographs.; Berlins Tiergarten ist mit einer Fläche von 210 Hektar nicht nur ein bedeutender Naherholungsraum, sondern auch ein grünes Biotop inmitten der Stadt. Im Vergleich etwa zum Central Park in New York oder dem Londoner Hyde Park weist er eine sehr hohe Biodiversität auf. Seine dichte Vegetation bietet den Stadtbewohnern Raum für jede Art der Freizeitgestaltung und Triebbefriedigung und gleichzeitig ein ungewöhnliches Mass der Koexistenz von Mensch, Fauna und Flora. Tiergarten, Landscape of Transgression untersucht diesen Stadtwald als Landschaft der spezifischen Grenzüberschreitungen, in der ökonomische, urbane, kulturelle und politische Konventionen weitgehend ausser Kraft gesetzt sind. Die Beiträge renommierter internationaler Autoren beleuchten verschiedene Aspekte des ehemaligen königlichen Jagdreviers unter biologischen, soziokulturellen, historischen, philosophischen und gesellschaftspolitischen Fragestellungen und machen deutlich, wie der Tiergarten im Rahmen einer auf Nachverdichtung ausgerichteten Stadtentwicklung als mehrdeutiges räumliches Modell inselartiger Lebenswelten dienen kann.
