Summary: It is Dieter Kienast's way to look at the traditional concepts of nature critically. In 1998 he wrote " a habitable town needs nature yet this cannot be limited to a concentration of vegetation" and so his landscape architecture gives expression to the fundamental relationship which exists between man and nature. Whereas the first volume looked at the private gardens designed by Kienast, this volume presents the public spaces created by Kienast, revealing how he dealt with the considerably more complex task of integrating the most diverse requirements of many people. This volume presents examples from Germany and Switzerland featuring in particular residential superstructures, industrial grounds, museums and hospitals. Amongst his most acclaimed projects are the Swisscom grounds in Worblaufen, the Swiss Rckversicherung in Zurich, the Federal industrial tribunal in Erfurt and the psychiatric clinic Waldhaus in Chur.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Der Landschaftsarchitekt Dieter Kienast, geb.1945, gehört zu den wichtigsten Protagonisten der gegenwärtigen Landschaftsarchitektur. Seine internationale Bedeutung bleibt auch nach seinem frühen Tod im Jahr 1998 unbestritten. Dieter Kienast hinterfragt den traditionellen Begriff von Natur kritisch. In den von ihm gestalteten Landschaften drücken sich tiefgründige Auseinandersetzungen mit dem gegenwärtigen Verhältnis von Mensch und Natur aus. Wurden im ersten Band Kienasts Privatgärten zur Anschauung gebracht, so geht es nun um den weitaus komplizierteren öffentlichen Freiraum, in dem vielfältigste Bedürfnisse und Ansprüche des Menschen integriert werden sollen. Bei den hier dokumentierten Arbeiten aus Deutschland und der Schweiz handelt es sich um Anlagen zu Wohnüberbauungen, Gewerbebauten, Museen, Krankenhäusern etc. Dazu gehören: die Anlagen für die Swisscom in Worblaufen, die Schweizer Rückversicherung in Zürich, das Bundesarbeitsgericht in Erfurt und für die psychiatrische Klinik Waldhaus in Chur.
