This year at the Center for Mediterranean Architecture in Chania we discuss what makes a space truly public.
Why do people occupy a public place-or reject it, they claim it-or ignore it, they use it-or exploit it?
We are seeking for strategies and applications that provide a truly public character of the area, through 4 approach roads.
• The relationship of private and public space. The management of
the boundary (fence it or not).
• Participatory processes in design / implementation of public
space;
• Design principles of public space, referring to the microclimate and
the needs of the region.
• The timelessness of public space as expressed through
management of monuments and monumental sets.
We invite you to join in this experience and participate actively in discussions that will take place in Chania, 4-5 of June 2011.
