N69 is a story on how to make roads more green. It is also about how people driving these roads can experience the essence of the surrounding landscape much better. In large part, it concerns the profile/section of the road where the quantity of the asphalt is reduced to the minimum and where the road is stripped of other elements. The animals are welcome to cross the road through a sequence of underpasses but also on the road, as, due to the fence-free profile, the visibility is much improved. More or less linear masses of trees try to remain as uninterrupted as possible when crossing the road so birds can be protected while flying back and forth. A part of the road is lifted on the bridge so the animals can move seamlessly on the grounds. This is how we should do roads. ]]> https://landezine.com/new-provincial-connection-n69-brabant-netherlands/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/lila-2021-gepke-heun-and-lodewijk-van-nieuwenhuijze-present-hns-winning-project/ https://landezine.com/lila-2021-gepke-heun-and-lodewijk-van-nieuwenhuijze-present-hns-winning-project/#respond Mon, 11 Oct 2021 10:43:59 +0000 http://landezine.com/?p=67217 The winner of the LILA 2021 infrastructure category is Area development Ooijen-Wanssum in the Netherlands by H+N+S Landscape Architects.

Moving the bunker from its ancestral place and letting it re-appear in a new one is both astonishing and effective. This blunt dislocation, which first reacts to infrastructural requirements and finally turns the bunker into a ready-made, creates a whole new quality of visual perception. It is in this aesthetic space of resonance, where contemporary infrastructure development ultimately becomes conceivable as a possible instalment of the European warfare history. Consequently, the actual traces of history are kept visible with a genuine purpose – although this required such an action as moving a bunker. As a bold and even radical gesture, the project inscribes itself in the infusible tension between past, present, and future on the one hand, and between absence and presence on the other. In doing so, it formulates a notable reference point for the contemporary discipline of landscape architecture as an artistically informed cultural practice.]]> https://landezine.com/lila-2019-objets-trouves/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/lecture-hank-van-tilborg-of-hns-landscape-architects-at-landezine-live/ https://landezine.com/lecture-hank-van-tilborg-of-hns-landscape-architects-at-landezine-live/#respond Fri, 29 Sep 2017 14:37:00 +0000 http://landezine.com/?p=79722 H+N+S introduces Hank van Tilborg (1972), who has been working at H+N+S since 2006 and became a partner and member of the management team in 2011.

Over the past 1000 years the rivers have been harnessed between higher and stronger dikes.

The plan by H+N+S embraces all distinctive existing characteristics: openness and scale, roughness, debris, bomb craters, machines and so forth. The previous use evidently made a mark on the topography and H+N+S introduced human scale features by following the rules of uniformness and clarity. This blend contributed to the feeling of emergency that is simulated in the military exercises that are being carried out for the sake of the visitors.]]> https://landezine.com/national-military-museum-soesterberg-by-hns/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/buitenschot-park-by-hns-landscape-architects/ https://landezine.com/buitenschot-park-by-hns-landscape-architects/#respond Wed, 20 Jul 2016 12:16:42 +0000 http://www.landezine.com/?p=33191 The notion of innovation today in our profession is used too lightly. Often the term comes around in PR texts and in the end reveals decades (if not centuries) old knowledge concerning water management, restoration of habitats, other known ecological measures or simply minimalistic solutions that perform well. But every now and then there's a project that can proudly use this term. The task of Buitenschot park is to reduce ground noise from the airport so that the residents of the nearby housing could enjoy quieter living conditions. The residents reported that there was less noise when the fields around were ploughed which gave clues to the designers. After some interesting experiments involving concert speakers and noises from all kinds of aircraft engines, triangular linear landforms were designed as an effective measure to reduce the noise. The result is this strange park that offers a special kind of experience to visitors. ]]> https://landezine.com/buitenschot-park-by-hns-landscape-architects/feed/ 0
