Landscape design
Working with the architect Bernard Tschumi, Ursula Kurz, as a freelance Landscape Architect, was responsible for the design and realisation of the areas around the follies, the Carrés de la Découverte, the Place aux Lions and a number of thematic gardens.
After 10 years of collaboration with the Bernard Tschumi team, Ursula Kurz took control for the creation and construction of a number of atypical works including the Jardin des Ombres, the standarisation of the original Dragon, the fencing of temporary show areas, the park’s northern sound barrier, the creation of removable summer terraces and, following a design competition in 2009, the creation of a new Dragon and its garden.
