Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt
Located on Mathildenheuvel, the highest point in the city of Darmstadt in west-central Germany, the Artists' Colony Darmstadt was founded in 1897 by Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig of Hesse as a center for emerging reform movements in architecture, art, and crafts. The buildings of the Artists' Colony were designed by its artist members as early modernist experimental living and working environments. The Artists' Colony was expanded during successive international exhibitions in 1901, 1904, 1908, and 1914. Today, the Artists' Colony bears witness to early modern architecture, urban planning, and landscape design, all of which were influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement and the Vienna Secession. The two-part collection includes 23 elements, such as the Wedding Tower (1908), the Exhibition Pavilion (1908), the Plane Grove (1833, 1904-14), the Russian Church of St. Mary Magdalene (1897-99), the Lily Basin, the Monument to Gottfried Schwab (1905), the Pavilion and Gardens (1914), the "Swan Temple" Garden Pavilion (1914), the Ernst Ludwig Fountain, and 13 houses and artists' studios built for the Darmstadt Artists' Colony and the International Exhibition. Three house complexes built for the 1904 Exhibition are an additional component.
Vat Phou and Associated Ancient Settlements within the Champasak Cultural Landscape
The Champasak Cultural Landscape, including the Wat Phu complex, is a well-preserved planned landscape that is more than 1,000 years old. Its shape reflects the Hindu view of the relationship between nature and humans, using an axis from the top of the mountain to the river bank to arrange the geometric patterns of temples, shrines and water conservancy facilities, stretching for about 10 kilometers. Two planned cities on the banks of the Mekong River and Phou Kao Mountain are also part of the site. The whole represents development from the 5th to the 15th century, mainly related to the Khmer Empire.
