PARC UND PAVILLON OF CULTURE THEATRE
Gubin
The town of Guben, as a result of World War II divided in a German (Guben) and Polish (Gubin) part, bares a great historical meaning for both countries. The parc of the theatre island lies in the border river Oder in the very center of the two towns. This public green space is a nucleus full of symbolism for bordercrossing processes. As a cultural place for both towns the parc island makes a contribution to the communication between the two nations within a united Europe. Similar to a borderline that constantly is redefining its separating or joining qualities, the architectural and landscape strategies vibrate between various articulations and stay away from one precise answer. They echo this uncertainty and search for an articulation of such a complex place.
