This symposium will focus on the physical public space and its production. The Spanish architects and designers of the Harvard Graduate School of Design will present the latest projects of their practice in the public sphere.
The public space is presented in different forms: public parks, streets, sidewalks, public spaces of private property, public parks of private management and temporary spaces. The production of public space implies a greater technical implication of the aspects of design, management and financing. Also, the newly opened WE ALL installation will be designed: the first project built to occupy a recently expanded section of Grove, a place at the intersection of North Harvard Street and Western Avenue that serves as the entry point from Cambridge to Allston.
