Summary:
"The (un)common place" is the result of the research project "Trans : it. moving culture through Europe", a journey through creative practices between art, architecture and urban research that are redefining the concept of public space in Europe. A "common place", a shared vision, from Norway to Turkey, from Spain to Bulgaria, from Cyprus to Romania, emerged from the more than fifty artists and projects documented in this book. Artists, institutions and society are searching for new relations to experiment unforeseen forms of cohabitation, mutual understanding and visions of the urban landscape. The book, organised in five thematic chapters, presents a European interpretation of public space resulting from complexity and difference, translation and memory.

Summary:
With more than half of humanity living in cities, public places have become important regulators of planetary cohabitation. But rapid and uncontrolled urbanization or the urban decay of cities in times of economic crisis can jeopardize crucial aspects of this cohabitation such as community feeling, public life or social cohesion. In this context, Public Space Acupuncture has crystallized as a set of alternative urban strategies based on coordinated catalytic interventions with the aim of activating the use of public space and balancing or revitalizing urban life. The book analyzes the key factors in these innovative strategies, including citizen participation and short-term and flexible processes developed through a wide variety of temporary, low-cost, mutating, nomadic or artistic interventions.
