Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Kunst - Architektur; Baugeschichte; Denkmalpflege; Note: 1; Universitauml;t zu Kouml;ln (Kunsthistorisches Institut der Universitauml;t zu Kouml;ln); Veranstaltung: Zeitenwende: Architektur der Renaissance im Rheinland; 23 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis; Sprache: Deutsch; Abstract: Juuml;lich ist ein einzigartiges Beispiel fuuml;r die Renaissancebaukunst im Rheinland. Die vom italienischen Architekten Alessandro Pasqualini geplante und uuml;ber Jahrzehnte hinweg von ihm und seinen Souml;hnen errichtete Idealstadtanlage lauml;sst sich noch heute am Juuml;licher Stadtbild ablesen. Der folgende Text beruuml;cksichtigt die Zitadelle jedoch nicht; sondern konzentriert sich auf die Schlossanlage; von deren einstiger Pracht heute nur noch Teile zu sehen sind. Diese bdquo;Teileldquo; gilt es scharf zu beobachten; um ein Bild entwickeln zu kouml;nnen; das der Erscheinung des Schlosses in der zweiten Hauml;lfte des 16. Jahrhunderts nahe kommt. Auszlig;erdem wird versucht werden Pasqualinis Beziehungen zur zeitgenouml;ssischen italienischen Architektur anzuzeigen. Die einzelnen Beschreibungen haben keinen Anspruch auf Vollstauml;ndigkeit; sondern dienen vielmehr der groben Orientierung und beschrauml;nken sich auf das Essentielle.

A must read for designers and their clientsBy Dan EarleThis book is must reading for anyone involved in landscape design; interested in the nuances of ecologically based design; or just interested in plants and gardening. It starts with the simple idea that landscapes; if left alone; will follow their own path of succession and evolution. It follows with the notion that the designer; using knowledge of science and design can have some influence on the direction this evolution will take to form a creative image directed toward some sustainable environmental; artistic and educational end. Achieving this goal runs into several problems.First; most people are not accepting of change in spite of the fact that once a home is built it starts to deteriorate and once planted a landscape continues to grow and change. There is no status quo. Much of our lives are spent maintaining our dwellings and controlling our landscapes because we have a certain vision of the "fixed image " and state of affairs that are the way "things are supposed to be". We want to be in control.Second; design is seen as a phase in the lifetime of projects. The client hires the architect and landscape architect to develop "the plan". The contractor builds "the plan" and at some point the client ends up managing the results of "the plan" over its life span. The designers are off to other projects.The Crosby Arboretum presents us with a new paradigm which is well presented with logic and grace of language by Bob Brzuszek having been an important part of this process. Basically; the designers never leave even though the people change. The client; their staff; their consultants; like the landscape; are part of a controlled interactive and evolutionary journey. There is no fixed image and there is no life span. There is life; vitality and change.This book is important but not because it is revolutionary. The concept of evolutionary nature based design has been around for some time as Bob shows in credit to Ian McHarg and others. What is important is that the book documents in detail the process of implementation of the paradigm on this site over time. The arboretum is the ultimate test of the concept and the result is there and living. It works! It is an example that others can follow in thinking about our environment from the personal space to the urban conglomerate. It is an approach and process that should be incorporated into the education of every design student.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A book well worth havingBy Arthur DaigleThe Crosby Arboretum is an exceptional book for several reasons. Firstly; it shows the creation of an arboretum from the beginning stages. You get an in-depth understanding of the work it took to plan and build this establishment. The book also goes into great detail about the idea of the arboretum as a changing environment. It is being allowed to develop from grasslands to forests; and the forests change to favor new species of trees. The author also shows how what we would consider minor changes in the environment can make the difference between certain plants dominating the landscape or being outcompeted. Photos in the book are high quality; and Im particularly happy with the last picture in the book.One thing the book shows is rather unfortunate; namely the role of money in arboretums and similar establishments. The author made repeated references to arboretum directors filing for grant or receiving money; and being heavily dependent on volunteers. I have had some minor experience with zoos and arboretums; and this fits with what Ive experienced. Funding heavily determines what the arboretum can accomplish and how big it can be. Crosby Arboretum got around some of this by allowing nature to take its own course; raising some of their own seedlings; using volunteers and spacing out improvements on arboretum property. This is not a criticism of the book; but a criticism of our society and how little weight we put on preserving nature.
