Neue Landschaft Lausitz

Bilingual edition (English/German) / Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) In 2010, the International Building Exhibition (IBA) Fürst-Pückler-Land in Lusitania enters its final round: it has been working to create a new face for the region between Berlin and Dresden scarred by lignite mining for over ten years now. This catalogue presents thirty large- and smaller-scale projects aiming towards comprehensive structural change: from the floating diving school above a flooded mine to the “horizontal Eiffel Tower” near Finsterwalde—the former conveyor bridge F60, now reused as part of a visitor’s mine. In addition, the catalogue publication explains the working methods and philosophy of the IBA, integrating it into the 100-year tradition of international building exhibitions in Germany.
