The Production of Public Space

 

This conference at Real Colegio Complutense will focus on the physical public space and its production. Spanish designers from the Graduate School of Design will present the latest projects from their practice in the public realm.  Public Space comes in different forms: publicy owners parks, streets, sidewalks, privately owned public spaces, privately managed public parks, and temporary spaces. The production of public space imply a larger technical implication from design aspects, management and financing. In this conference, those topics will be discussed with anengaged audience. Francisco will lay out the newly inaugurated installation WE ALL: the first built project to occupy a newly expanded section of the Grove, a site at the intersection of North Harvard Street and Western Avenue that serves as an entry point from Cambridge into Allston.
