The competition for the German Landscape Architecture Award 2019 has been decided.
The first prize goes to Baakenpark - A place of longing in the eastern HafenCity, Hamburg, designed by Atelier LOIDL Landschaftsarchitekten, Berlin. This was decided by the jury on April 12, 2019 in Berlin. Since 2015, an artificial peninsula of Elbe sand has formed the green centre of the eastern Hafencity in the Elbe metropolis. The spectacular topography creates diverse spaces with the wild tree population. Where public life is shifting more and more to open space, concentrated and well-zoned different spaces are offered for a wide variety of uses.
At their meeting in the German Architecture Centre, the eleven judges appointed by the bdla, led by jury chair Prof. Inga Hahn, Hahn Hertling von Hantelmann, Hamburg/Berlin, sifted through the 35 nominated works, awarding first prize and awards in nine categories.
