Topotek 1 is one of Germany’s internationally best-known practices for landscape architecture; Rosemarie Trockel is one of Germany’s highly influential artists. The „Bahndeckel Project,“ a landscape sculpture and urban park in Munich, is the result of a collaboration between them. It covers a 300 meter section of railway tracks and creates urgently needed open space for the neighbourhood of Theresienhöhe. In addition to the design, technically demanding questions like structural engineering issues, artificial materials, and planting also needed to be solved. This monograph examines the landscape design in a number of essays by renowned authors and documents the design and production process.
