Summary:
What is required to renew and articulate public spaces? The need for, and demands of, public spaces are highly specific to the local spatial and social conditions under which people live. Action at neighborhood level is crucial, and must involve interacting and co-creating with residents to discover their needs. At the start of the pandemic, superwien was commissioned to develop innovative designs for urban public spaces in three different cities: Dhaka (Bangladesh), Maputo (Mozambique), and Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic). The main objective of this applied research was to strengthen the capacity of local governments to undertake participatory urban design processes. This book calls upon architects and urbanists to develop place-based solutions in challenging circumstances.

Squares, galleries, loggias, porticoes, and courtyards are the elements that characterize Italy’s historic towns and cities—and that make the experience of these public spaces intense and attractive. Labics sets out to explore these enchanting spaces, to analyze their history and typologies, and to document and describe them through newly produced photographs, plans, and diagrams. They offer a taxonomy of solutions that, as a whole, forms a timeless theory for the design of public spaces. ''The architecture of public ppace'' forms a captivating collection of image material that visually decodes the characteristic core elements of Italian architecture and specifies their role in the definition of public space. The volume highlights the architectural solutions from the thirteenth to the twentieth centuries that produce the particular spatial quality of these urban structures and sets out how they were originally established for and are continuing to be used by the people.

Un drôle d'urbaniste, le dénommé John Mill, accompagne le changement. La rue rendue piétonne est peu à peu plantée à même la chaussée. On organise des fêtes ouvertes à tout le monde, où se mêlent gens du cru ? habitants et coiffeurs d'origine africaine ? et les passants bien sûr... Un conte de fées urbain? Plutôt un vaudeville à la limite parfois d'être une tragédie. Car un porche se révèle très vite un des acteurs, accueillant peu à peu SDF en surnombre puis vagues de migrants. C'est cette histoire vécue d'une transformation que raconte cet ouvrage, un récit passionné des moments d'enthousiasme et des écueils surmontés.
