This catalog accompanies an exhibition at the Museum for Concrete Art in the summer of 2014 that presented the ideas of the design concept, Stadt Park Donau - Donau-Loop, created in response to a study commissioned to investigate the potential development of the Danube River area in Ingolstadt, Germany. The project created a new riverine district that encompassed various landscapes along the river and connected them with the town and urban expansion, through tunings linked by a multimodal pathway, the Donau-Loop, along the river's edge that connects smaller spaces. The catalog documents the project and exhibition and includes an interview with the designers and essays on the history of the river and the project's scales, environments, and visual elements, along with maps, plans, photos, and art. --ProtoView
