Neue Landschaft Lausitz: IBA Furst-Puckler-Land 2000-2010

In 2010, the last stage of the International Building Exhibition (IBA) Furst-Puckler-Land takes place in the Lusatian Lakeland. It has been working to create a new face for the region located between Berlin and Dresden. With the economic, ecological impulse from IBA for the required transformation, this is far more than an ordinary exhibition - it is a future-oriented programme for the former mining region. These pages provide us with a detailed account of developments and present 30 large-scale and small-scale projects from the ‘horizontal Eiffel Tower’ to a floating diving school above a flooded mine. All the projects demonstrate the imaginative diversity of what will have been a successful ten-year programme.
