Inhaltsangabe

Intended for designers, planners, developers, public officials, community leaders, and students, this volume is designed to stimulate discussion--about public spaces and about design that is responsive to the built and natural environment--as well as to support the creation of convivial civic spaces. Childs (architecture & planning, U. of New Mexico) begins with history & theories of public places, and then addresses many aspects of design, from public art to cars to landscape to physical hazards. The book has an unusual structure: a question is posed, and a discussion of the topic follows, often accompanied by brief case studies. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
