First sentence: Die Publikation jungle2 dokumentiert Projekte aus den Bereichen Architektur, Innenarchitektur, Medienkunst und Prozessgestaltung, die im Winter 2002\2003 von Studierenden der Fachhochschulen der Nordwestschweiz sowie des Instituts fur Industrielle Bauproduktion der Universitat Karlsruhe entwickelt wurden.
Description: Students and lecturers of architecture, interior design and interactive media from Basel and Karlsruhe spent several months in a small French Vosges town of Senones. The result of their close and ongoing examination of Senone's barren post-industrial situation and lack of perspective is a series of pilot projects, practical first steps in the social transformation of an industrially depressed area in the digital age. Their recommendations, presented in this visually attractive publication, address regional- and town-planning issues, and the question of new uses for abandoned buildings and complexes, such as the Abbey of Senones, and provide stimulating proposals of a general relevance for structurally depressed regions.
