Vetschpartner Landscape Architects. The Dolder Grand Hotel by Vetschpartner Landscape Architects. Designers: Vetschpartner Landschaftsarchitekten AG, Zurich Foster + Partners, London Itten + Brechbühl AG, Zurich Location: Zurich, Switzerland Commissioned by Dolder Hotel AG Area: 17 500 m2 Design: 2003-2006 Implementation: 2006-2008 This unique hotel, situated between the pulsating city and invigorating nature, calls for a sensitive approach to the open space areas.
Architecture and landscape merge as an ensemble. The unity of structure and open space will be established over three landscape architectural sequences: - The forest sequence as a background scenery. - The hotel sequence as a homogeneous area of expansion with driveway, courtyards and terraces. - The garden sequence as a opulent surrounding of the forecourt.
These three elements overlap in the topographic and spatial association and create a superior tangible, consistent effect. The Zürichhorn Playground By Vetschpartner Landscape Architects.

Project title: Cap-Rouge Memory Wall Landscape Architecture: Plania Project Team: André Arata, Gerald Pau Location: Cap-Rouge, Quebec, Canada Completion date: 2012 Client: Commission de la capitale nationale du Québec Project Type: Retaining wall and cliff renaturalization Photographers: Denis Lemelin; Richard Fiset; CCNQ, Monica Bittencourt; CCNQ, Pierre Joosten; Martin Moisan; Gérald Pau.
After the partial collapse of the Cap-Rouge cliff in 2003, the City of Quebec completed a temporary project to protect the area adjacent to the chemin de la Plage-Jacques Cartier—the boulevard along Jacques Cartier beach. In 2005, the archaeological remains of North America’s first French colony (1541-1543) were discovered on the site, prompting the site owner, the CCNQ (National Capital commission of Quebec), to open an archaeological dig on top of the cliff. Constant communication between the CCNQ, local businesses and area residents was the key to improved signage and organization at the site. 06_this-is-tsp_c-Dreiseitl. 20_great-place-to-be_c-Dreiseitl. 15_music_c-Dreiseitl.

Architect & Landscape Architect: Shma Company Limited Project Team: Director – Yossapon Boonsom, Associate – Kantaya Kiatfuengfoo Client& Developer: Sansiri PCL. Location: Bangkok, Thailand Use: Condominium Garden Site Area: 5,244 sq. m Building Scale: 28 Storey Building. Design Year: 2008 Period of Construction: 2010-2011 Like many other condominium projects, this project is intended to create a good environment for the residents. Facing with many constraints make it difficult for landscape architect to achieve the developer’s expectation, since the location of the site that is in the chaotic and polluted urban area in Bangkok, the limited budget of the project, and the strict regulation of green area requirement. These challenges inspired us to innovate and develop capabilities in this site, turning weakness into strength that would benefit not only the residents but also the city environment.

However, this is not simply a topic of filling up the space, of closing the gap but much more of opening up an old frontier. Previously separated districts need to be connected, a new centre needs to be created. The history of the deep and large cut of the ancient fortification and today’s ring-highway is translated by an open space: a luxury in on of Europe’s most expensive cities. Show in Google Maps.

Back in February 2012, we reported that Hapa Collective had won the Market Lane Design Competition.
Now, we see the realised project from Hapa Collective that is set to revitalize a narrow but critical linkage in the urban fabric of downtown London. Hapa’s proposal (entitled Figure Ground) utilized a simple concept and austere palette of materials to animate the Lane, and provide a venue for the upcoming World Figure Skating Championships and the imminent arrival of Fanshawe College’s Digital Media Arts program on the west edge of the Lane. The landscape design concept drew inspiration from the local landscape of southwestern Ontario, including the Thames River valley that weaves through the city and the Carolinian forest that the site lies within, as well as the aspirations of the larger London community including it’s reputation for higher learning, medicine and technological innovation.
High Line by Corner Field Operations. High Line was constructed in 1930’, in order to put dangerous and unpleasant freight traffic 30 feet above pedestrian sidewalks, 75 years later, pedestrians are put 30 feet above the dangerous and unpleasant traffic conditions, to have a moment away from city’s fast vibe. Elevated park was designed by landscape architecture studio Corner Field Operations. In New York, where urban structure is very dense, High line plays a very important role in people’s everyday life. In a relation to urban context High Line is probably a total success, one could walk the user-friendly pavement, rest on a long and comfortable benches, or explore vegetation. Show in Google Maps.
