"Dissolved as a monastery in 1557, and acknowledged as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991, the site of Lorsch Abbey shares the destiny of the antique scriptures: little is left of its original substance. The design idea is to render history visible as landscape space, aiming to make the remnants and former existence of the monastery legible again. The aim is to exemplify and emphasis this emptiness, to express presence and history through the sites inherent and austere nothingness."

This issue is part of the Box Set #29 collecting five landscape projects by Berlin-based TOPOTEK 1 photographed by Hanns Joosten.
