Landscape

Stretching for more than two kilometers, the revitalization of the Mattenbach river allows the nowadays canalized stream to become the heart of a new recreational landscape, making room both for humans and their non-human counterparts. By carefully highlighting traces of history and gently redirecting the stream, it transforms the former riverbed into a shaded promenade, where the tall trees of the alluvial forest create a continuous, living corridor.

IrchelNord

Completed Landscape

Irchelpark is a key example of the Swiss nature garden movement of the 1980s, which redefined the idea of what a park should be and how it should looks like: Instead of serving as a carefully manicured landscape in contrast to wilderness, irchelpark was conceived as a sanctuary with high ecological values. Building on the same guiding principles, the proposal demonstrates that these ideas remain as crucial today as they were for half a century.
