Atelier LOIDL, Lorenz Kehl (D)
"Raum - Bewegung - Detail"
Lecture
“A good form results not merely from the sum of its components, but from the harmony of the opposing elements used to compose it,” so say Lorenz Kehl and Bernd Joosten on their home page under ‘attitudes'. They go on to say, “The locality is the starting point. Only in the dialogue with the context does something special come into being, can the outline contribute to the genius loci. The revival of a locality's potential, the disclosure of ‘lost' spaces and situational opportunities for action – this is what to search for […]. The language of the landscape is felt, its comprehensibility increased, its continuity and variability become palpable and understandable. Richness in simplicity is what we are looking for.” The Brückenpark Müngsten in North Rhine-Westphalia is a landscape developed and cultivated within the frame of the regional programme (a structural programme designed to revitalise the region around the three cities of Solingen, Remscheid and Wuppertal). The outline of Brückenpark Müngsten was chosen on the occasion of a competition won by the LOIDL Atelier in 2003. The essentials of landscape architecture - space, movement, and detail - will be presented by Lorenz Kehl, landscape architect and proprietor of the LOIDL Atelier, in his lecture and demonstrated by the example of the Brückenpark Müngsten.
Lorenz Kehl, born in Heide in 1964, studied landscape architecture at the Technische Universität in Berlin and has worked at the LOIDL Atelier, Landscape Architects, Berlin since 1992. Ten years later he became the manager of the Atelier, and today he and his partner Bernd Joosten are the proprietors. Lorenz Kehl lives and works in Berlin.
