The very large presence of works of art in Kant Park necessitates a questioning of the nature of the landscape architect's intervention. Under no circumstances should such an intervention or design attempt to claim the status of a work of art, but should rather aim to create an authentic landscape with which artists can work. We thus distinguish very clearly between works of art and those interventions which belong to the realm of architecture. In Duisburg, we were impressed by the radical modernity of several architectural and urbanism projects, and our approach to Kant Park sought to partake of the same aesthetic determination. We sought to transform a commonplace park into a prestigious and contemporary space, to leave its outmoded composition behind, and above all, to forgo the tendency of superimposing yet another stereotyped academic composition lacking any connection with the site, onto the site. In the manner of archaeologists, we examined the site stratum by stratum. At each of these layers, in working with the various textures present, the greatest amount of legibility was created throughout. Through this minimalist rigour, in combination with the lavish beauty of the already present trees, the future park takes on sense and shape.
