But how does a park become an intensively used \nstage, a well-visited everyday location? What constitutes the “boon of \nlife” (Jane Jacobs)? And what makes a park urban?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Park am \nGleisdreieck in Berlin—developed between 2007 and 2014—was initiated by \ncitizens and built in dialogue with them. This publication presents the \nprinciples underlying its design. They form a toolbox for big city \nparks that can be used in diverse ways, stimulate interaction, and \nappeal to the senses. Furthermore, the book situates the park within \nthe contemporary work of landscape architecture and shows how visitors \nperceive the park and its atmospheres. Overall, this work lays out the \ndesign elements that model a successful citizens’ park in the \ntwenty-first century: Many voices have contributed to its development; \nits design is dynamically complex, and the park invites change and \nappropriation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Leonard Grosch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48279241851131,"sku":"9783868593815","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9783868593815.jpg?v=1772490612","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/designing-parks-9783868593815","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
