The architects envisioned a \u2018green\u2019 slope combining the split-level atrium. Prof. M\u00f6hrle and I decide to come up with the opposite of the typical lush green calming experience up the escalator. We proposed piranha fish tanks alongside the escalator to create a dramatic sense of arrival. This sketch depicts this idea. At this time architects were not ready for the abstraction or a totally different landscape architecture experience without thinking \u2018green\u2019. Since than we have come a long way in landscape architecture. Pioneering work is often hidden on paper, but \u2018paper architecture\u2019 is also a design,  just not executed, whatever the circumstances might be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/drawingsdanielroehr\/files\/2019\/03\/DD_Small_0967-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/drawingsdanielroehr\/files\/2019\/03\/DD_Small_0967-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1046\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/drawingsdanielroehr\/files\/2019\/03\/DD_Small_0967-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/drawingsdanielroehr\/files\/2019\/03\/DD_Small_0967-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/drawingsdanielroehr\/files\/2019\/03\/DD_Small_0967-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As project landscape architect &amp; office manager of the Potsdamer Platz Project, Berlin in the 90\u2019s in the office Kr\u00fcger &amp; M\u00f6hrle Stuttgart\/Berlin responsible for the design of all the extensive and intensive green roofs, courtyards and atriums we designed the atrium for one of Sir Richard Rogers buildings.
