A critical introduction to the design of public spaces The way
public spaces are designed reflects the period in which they were
created. However, in our globalized world of experience and images
the desire for uniqueness tends to achieve the opposite:
increasingly, designers of open spaces resort to the same devices
and thereby distance themselves from the urban context. The author
analyzes ten outstanding contemporary designs of public spaces in
Europe in terms of their function in the urban context and what
materials are used for their implementation. In interviews with the
designers she retraces the changes of the concepts during the
design stage of the projects, underpinning her findings with
numerous sketches. In addition, her research focuses on how the
projects were received in the community. Learning from designers of
outstanding public spaces in Europe Numerous unpublished design
sketches A clear guide to urban design Also available in a French
edition
