1 The unfolding of public space

Belonging is our business now

That is our business now. From the largest to the smallest detail, we must ask ourselves: What is it about this technical matter, that must be done so as to support our belonging, our humanness, our capacity for love.

Start with the public space

When living processes are applied systematically to the public space in a human community, they will — because of their emphasis on the formation of strong centers — generate a system of articulated, useful, coherent, and mainly pedestrian spaces.

Hulls of public space

- coherent, partly enclosed public spaces that are positively shaped
- holding and forming a kernel of outdoor space formed to be contained (almost as rooms or other interior spaces)
- give communal structure to a town or a neighborhood

Public space must always be positive in its geometric character.
