Rudolf-Bednar-Park: Vienna

This multi-layered book chronicles the development of Vienna's biggest new park since 1974, Rudolf-Bednar-Park. The story starts with the city's design competition, won by Swiss landscape architect Guido Hager, and follows the planning and construction process right up to the park's opening in 2008. Hager's plans considered every possible constituency for the park - families, singles, young, old, women, men - and how they would be woven into the neighborhood, an inner-city district of Vienna under intense redevelopment. The book even includes a section on the plant material chosen, and how it will appear season-by-season. Whether you're a landscape architect, urban planner, gardener or simply someone who loves strolling in a beautiful park in a big city, you'll find true inspiration in this stunning landscape design book.

With texts by Ulli Sima, Rainer Weisgram, Gunther Vogt, Eva Kail, Claudia Prinz-Brandenburg, Guido Hager, Pascal Posset, Patrick Altermatt, Stefan Windisch, Viola Thiel, Gregor Furniss, Susanne Fuge, Karl L. Hawliczek und Daniel Zimmermann.
