The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Biological and organic philosophies were of great importance to all reform-minded thinkers in Germany in the early twentieth century, and landscape architecture and planning were also affected. Here, we see how these ideas entered the design fields through popular reception, and how this influenced the development of modern architecture. Because of later contamination by the Nazis, this important field has unfortunately been neglected by historians.
