Ziegeleipark Heilbronn BöckingenOffice: Stötzer · Neher The proposal for a new residential park on the grounds of a former brick stone factory in Böckingen/Heilbronn is characterised by the two poles of artificial and natural. Three main terms build the strategy for the new park. Nature generates Design Nature took part in transforming the site of the former brick stone factory into something new. The derelict, abandoned area was again part of nature. Processes of natural development under the conditions of the former human uses created new "natural" habitats of vegetation which are specific to this landscape and which would not occur under the former natural conditions. Only small inconsiderable interventions like in the design of the English Landscape Garden will enable the use of the area as a park and recreation area for residents and visitors. Nature designs Art On the other hand a rural and wild vegetation forms a big contrast to the geometrical landscape of agriculture, were the site is settled. In a world of natural perfection nature seems to be a artificial element. The range of plants on this natural island is strictly determined by the natural conditions and the former human influence on the site. Finding out about these relations makes the fascination of the park for visitors. Give and Take The installations in the park such as walls, pathways, bridges and points of view were made by local sand stone and brick from the former brick stone factory. Their edges disappear and blur under the rural vegetation. Nature gets a working surface for new growth to reclaim these human produced elements. Over the time these elements will be part of nature. They will get illuminated in a wide range of ever new artificial pictures, differing from season to season.
