#modernist gardens

[germanpostwarmodern]

Hermann Mattern (1902-71), without exaggeration, was Germany’s most important 20th century garden designer whose organic gardens were created alongside significant projects by e.g. Hans Scharoun. Mattern first worked for quite some time in nurseries (for plants) and later studied at the horticultural college of the Botanical Garden in Berlin-Dahlem. After graduating in 1927 he became head of the design department at Karl Foerster’s office in Potsdam-Bornim and quickly became known for taking up current developments in the field of garden design. Here he also met his later wife Herta Hammerbacher, herself a significant garden designer, and established the informal „Bornim Circle“, an important forum for the discussion of developments in garden design, plant breeding and also politics. Although Mattern wasn’t a particularly political person he sympathized with communism, just like his wife.

After the National Socialists came to power in 1933 these political leanings repeatedly caused him trouble: firstly because the regime classified him as „politically unsound“ and secondly because adversaries in the profession occasionally denounced him. But despite these repeated accusations Mattern fared well under the reign of the Nazis as he received significant commissions. Among these were the green areas alongside the Reichsautobahnen commissioned by the Organisation Todt, the private gardens of Albert Speer and Robert Ley and also his chief work, the 1939 Reichsgartenschau at the Killesberg in Stuttgart. In 1939 Mattern also became member of the NSDAP.

At this point Lars Hopstock’s new biography „Hermann Mattern - Idyll and Ideology“, recently published by Jovis Verlag, clarifies earlier and biased accounts provided by his widow Beate zur Nedden and his former student Vroni Heinrich: Mattern wasn’t an active opposition member but came to terms with the regime and advanced his career as the impressive list of works from the war years alone shows.

With this facts and source-based rebuttal of earlier accounts Hopstock doesn’t discount Mattern’s contribution to modern garden design but shows the ambiguity necessary to survive professionally in a totalitarian regime. At the same time he documents how Mattern advanced his idea of an organic modernism in garden architecture, even at the ideologically tainted Reichsgartenschau. Accordingly „Idyll and Ideology“ is a great achievement that based on the in-depth study of sources provides new insights into the life and work of an eminent garden designer. Wholeheartedly recommended!

"Mr. Bubbles, Mr. Bubbles-"

A little boy's voice--the first little boy that Tim had discovered in the labyrinth city below Gotham--echoed through the cavernous halls. Tim crept over the rubble of a broken stalagmite that had fallen through the ceiling, destroying the white and gold decor and dripping water inside. The room up ahead was lit only from glowing green tubes of liquid that lined every wall of Amity, the ectoplasm that powered the entire city.

"Are you there? Are you there?"

He peeked out from behind a crumbled wall. On his own, the little boy was crouched over corpse, fresh enough that it's blood was still wet on the floor. The boy's giant needle, the go-to weapon of all the Little Sisters that Tim had seen so far, was jabbed into the corpse's stomach and, slowly, ectoplasm and blood filled the glass jar on the end.

"Bring me a lolli-"

There was no sign of a Big Daddy, but Tim knew there was one nearby. These children were never without their protectors after all.

"Bring me a toffee-"

And at this point, Tim had killed enough of them to know for certain that one was around.

His left arm, marked all over with the needle marks of constant Plasm and ecto-dejecto injections, tingled, like there were ants under his skin. Or more accurate, he mused grimly, electricity-

Don't Think About It.

"Teddy bear, teddy bear."

He kicked his bare feet excitedly as he finished harvesting ectoplasm. Screwing off the jar, the child lifted it up to his lips like a cup and drank the viscus liquid down in huge, chest-heaving gulps like his life depended on it. Unlike Little Sisters who wore gore-covered dresses, the Little Brother was dressed in a white medical gown, relatively clean considering his filthy surroundings. His arms and face were free from dirt or blood, and even his hair looked suspiciously washed and combed.

Tim tightened his grip on his gun.

The Little Brother sighed, wiping his mouth on his sleeve. Brushing off his skirt, he yanked the needle out of the corpse. Then, like he could sense him, the boy looked straight at Tim. He froze.

Blank eyes covered in a green flim stared at him... and the Little Brother smiled at him, his teeth stained brown from the muck. "Mr. Helper! There you are, I've been waiting soooo long! Big Sister thought you'd never catch up!"

Cemetery Reviews #4 - Gardens of Apogee

A beautiful site from every angle, covered in grass with the cemetery extending in every direction. Once inside, you can't see the end; you only know you're nearing the edges when you hear the traffic from the streets.

There are graves adorned with many flowers, some neatly arranged and others with windmills spinning endlessly. There are also several statues, including a giant one of the Virgin Mary, perhaps about 5 meters tall. I saw a tomb from 1968, but most of the deaths here are not older than the 1970s. There's also quite a bit of unused land where more graves could be placed. The vegetation is beautiful, with many paths to wander, and there's a small hill next to a TransMilenio bus depot.

There are a few graves where the tombstone is nearly hidden among the grass, almost completing its life cycle and allowing the earth to reclaim the person inside. It can be slippery or muddy at times (it had just rained), but considering its size and the number of people here, I found it very well-maintained. Its beauty brings a profound sense of peace. What a beautiful cemetery.

Kengo Kuma’s Swooping Canopy Reorients Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian in Lisbon

The extension to Lisbon’s Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian (CAM), designed by Kengo Kuma & Associates, orients a much-adored park and cultural complex in a different direction. This singular foundation—established by the will of oil magnate Calouste Gulbenkian and today one of the world’s largest in its endowment—first acquired a swath of the city’s Santa Gertrudes Park in 1957 to build a museum for the display of its patron’s highly curated collection of pre-modern art.

The design, by a trio of Portuguese architects—Ruy Jervis d’Athouguia, Pedro Cid, and Alberto Pessoa—brought art and nature into immediate proximity within a Modernist pavilion, which contained two internal gardens, and windows that frame the plantings like artworks. Lisboans flocked to this cool refuge set amid laurels, eucalyptus, and poplar.

The Sixth Pantheon of the Chacarita Cemetery, located in west Buenos Aires, was built during 1950-1958 and designed by one of the first female Argentine architects, Itala Fulvia Villa, a key figure in Argentina’s modernist architectural legacy and a member of the Grupo Austral.

For years the work was solely credited to Clorindo Testa, despite his more minor collaborative role in the project designing the concrete temple and the Torii-gate-style monuments scattered above ground.

The Pantheon is the first modernist work of its kind applied to the design of a cemetery on this scale, created to house 40,000 niches. A labyrinthine network of subterranean galleries and vaults is interconnected by a series of walkways, punctuated by open courtyards and patios characterised by hanging wall planters and vegetation. The result is an oasis of calm split over two levels below ground accessible by generous stairwells, all hidden from view from the landscaped garden above.
