• Partners, Architects, Landscape Architects, Urban Planners LOMA | LOMA, Kassel | loma-online.de
•  
• The architect Ilija Vukorep together with landscape architect and urban planner Wolfgang Schück have been running the planning office LOMA architecture. landscape.urbanism since 1999. From the beginning, the interdisciplinary team has specialised in a field of work that results from the intersection of architecture, landscape architecture and urban planning. In recent years, the team has intensively focused on digital design methods and the interfaces to construction; „parametric design“ is regularly used in their daily work. The example of the Summer Island project for the Federal Garden Exhibition (BUGA) 2019 in Heilbronn is a good illustration of the entire process: in the planning phase, the entire landscape formation was created parametrically; in the construction process, the data from the digital model was transferred to the control system of the excavators and implemented directly. There were no classic plans for this project.
