West Park, Munich

A long thin park in southwest Munich, made between 1978 and 1983. Westpark hosted the 1983 IGA (International Garden Show). It is a good example of the style of the times: curvilinear abstract modern, with daring use of herbaceous plants. A green bridge carries the park over Garmischer Strasse. There are a number of Asian gardens and structures in Westpark - see Ostasien Ensemble.
