Carl Alexander Life and Science Park in Baesweiler

Baesweiler, a small German town near Aachen, decided to return to its citizens a burden dump that was used in the former mining industry but had been abandoned since 1975; this project was meant to be the starting point for the development of a technology park.

The result was an extraordinary construction challenge. The project was awarded the German Landscape Architecture Prize in 2009.
