Grant Clement and Matt Adams, from first year landscape architecture at Kingston, have just published a critical essay in the journal of the Landscape Institute, Landscape. Following a field trip to Berlin Grant and Matt were asked by the editor to critically appraise several key regeneration projects within Berlin’s infrastructure. Straddling the River Spree, and between the new train station and the large government campus, there are a series of contemporary landscape projects that were the focus of their essay. Their critique was included in the latest edition of Landscape which examines German landscape and is a collaboration between leading UK and German designers.
