Abstract

Between art and landscape architecture: the work of Monika Gora Landschaftsarchitektur kann eine Planungsdisziplin sein, die ebenso wie Architektur tägliche Umwelt schafft, oder aber ihre Stellung als Kunstform behauptet und außergewöhnliche Werke hervorbringt, die kommuneikative Aufgaben wahrnehmen.Monika Goras Oeuvre gründet auf einer knapp 20-jährigen Arbeit als Landschaftsarchitektin und -künstlerin mit Sitz in Malmö, Schweden, aus der zahlreiche Werke im skandinavischen und mitteleuropäischen Raum hervorgegangen sind, die mehrfach Preise erhalten haben und international publiziert worden sind. Jenseits der Seriosität von klassischer Landschaftsarchitektur zeigt Gora mit ihrem Werk den spielerischenUmgang mit der Umwelt und beweist, dass gebaute Landschaft keine bierernste Sache sein muss, sondern für die Sinne da ist, für ein Staunen, ein Grübeln, ein Aha oder Lachen, irgendwo zwischen Intellekt und Sensibilität, jenseits vom Materialismus des Garten- und Landschaftsbaus und weit entfernt vom Konzeptualismus der Museumskunst. Davon zeugen beispielsweise ihre amorph geformten Lichtobjekte « Jimmies », die etwaauf Spielplätzen, in Wohnsiedlungen zum Sitzen oder Klettern einladen, aber zugleich mit weißem oder farbigem Licht ein Leuchten erzeugen.

Abstract

Over the last few decades, a rich and increasingly diverse practice has emerged in the art world that invites the public to touch, enter, and experience the work, whether it is in a gallery, on city streets, or in the landscape. Like architecture, many of these temporary artworks aspire to alter viewers' experience of the environment. An installation is usually the end product for an artist, but for architects it can also be a preliminary step in an ongoing design process. Like paper projects designed in the absence of "real" architecture, installations offer architects another way to engage in issues critical to their practice. Direct experimentation with architecture's material and social dimensions engages the public around issues in the built environment that concern them and expands the ways that architecture can participate in and impact people's everyday lives. The first survey of its kind, Installations by Architects features fifty of the most significant projects from the last twenty-five years by today's most exciting architects, including Anderson Anderson, Philip Beesley, Diller + Scofidio, John Hejduk, Dan Hoffman, and Kuth/Ranieri Architects. Projects are grouped in critical areas of discussion under the themes of tectonics, body, nature, memory, and public space. Each project is supplemented by interviews with the project architects and the discussions of critics and theorists situated within a larger intellectual context. There is no doubt that installations will continue to play a critical role in the practice of architecture. Installations by Architects aims to contribute to the role of installations in sharpening our understanding of the built environment.
