Building Commons and Community documents 45 years of the late Karl
Linn's legacy creating neighborhood spaces for communities and by
communities. In this richly-ilustrated landscape-format hardcover
book, Linn presents his philosophies and practical wisdom. Linn
created some of America's first community design centers, and his
work inspired Eunice Shriver to initiate Americorps. In this
richly-illustrated book, Linn presents his philosophies and
practical wisdom to help people use the resources they find in
their own surroundings to create welcoming shared spaces. In
addition to an extensive addendum of resources for creating
community commons, this work contains colorful photo-essay case
studies of projects that cross boundaries between professional
design and neighborhood activism provide inspiration and guidance
for citizens and professionals who wish to collaborate to
strengthen communities. Projects include community gardens,
playgrounds, parks and other gathering places built on derelict or
unused property by the people who use them. Landscape architect and
child psychologist Karl Linn (1923-2005) was a beloved,
down-to-earth, visionary leader of grassroots community building,
who brought life to economically disenfranchised neighborhoods in
cities from Boston to Berkeley. His book documents the creativity
and ingenuity of working-class citizens, students and volunteer
professionals who transformed derelict vacant lots and drab
institutional settings into colorful and lively community commons
in Boston, New York, Newark, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington
DC, Louisville KY, Pittsburgh, Columbus OH, Chicago, St. Louis, San
Francisco and Berkeley.
