Heft 34 “Zwischen Architektur und Landschaftsarchitektur” Auf den ersten Blick können Wohnhäuser, Parks, Museen, Brücken, Einkaufsstraßen, Plätze und Gärten mehr oder weniger klar als “Gebäude” oder “Freiraum”, als “Architektur” oder “Landschaftsarchitektur” ausgemacht werden. Das spiegelt sich bis heute auch in den Bezeichnungen des Berufs, der Berufsverbände und der Studiengänge wider.
Schaut man sich allerdings Architektur und Landschaftsarchitektur genauer an, ist es manchmal schwierig, sie einem Gebäude- oder Freiraumtyp zuzuordnen. Typen scheinen in Bewegung zu geraten, sodass sich vielleicht auch begriffliche Fixierungen lockern müssen, ohne das Feld des “Architektonischen” zu verlassen. Solche Architekturen werden sichtbar beispielsweise in Form von Schwellen, Hybriden, Mimesen, Inseln, Klammern oder dergleichen. “Wolkenkuckucksheim” sucht für das Heft 34 “Zwischen Architektur und Landschaftsarchitektur” Aufsätze, die sich diesem Thema aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven widmen.

Issue 34 “Between Architecture and Landscape Architecture”
On first glance, apartment blocks, museums, shopping malls, bridges, parks, squares and gardens can be identified as either “buildings” or “open space,” either “architecture” or “landscape architecture.” This identification is reflected in the nomenclature of the professions, the professional associations, and the academic programs.
However, taking a closer look at individual projects, such classifications become more complex and the line between architecture and landscape architecture becomes blurred; projects turn out to be neither pure building nor pure open space. These classifications have become less black and white and, as a consequence, conceptual determinations must loosen while remaining within the realm of the “architectonic.” Such works of architecture could manifest themselves, for example, as thresholds, hybrids, mimeses, islands, and clamps, among others. “Cloud-Cuckoo-Land” invites authors to submit contributions that reflect on this topic.
