10 good, old pear trees, preserve!

27. February 2023/in Road Studies/by Daniela Lehner

We came across this request on a hand-drawn preliminary design by the garden architects Viktor Mödlhammer and Josef Oskar Wladar from 1957 in the course of our research in the archives of the Lower Austrian Road Administration in Krems. We spent a whole day at the road maintenance department sighting the planning documents for the new construction of the Wachau Road in the 1950s. In about 20 folders, we discovered technical plans for the road alignment, cross-sections, standard profiles, and technical reports. We were particularly excited to find the preliminary landscape design, as it impressively illustrates the design approach and integration of the existing landscape into the road project.
