e-publicspace.net – Public Space Encyclopedia

As part of a research project entitled UrbansSystems/Urban Models (USUM) that brings together Laboratories of ETHZ (Studio Basel), Università della Svizzera italiana, and EPFL, a specific research on public space is being undertaken by the lab. Chôros (http://choros.epfl.ch). This research confronts theory and empiricism and attempts to analyze the complexity of public spaces in cities. Is public space a universal concept?

Creating e-publicspace.net : an Encyclopedia of public space
For this research, we are creating a website which will be an Encyclopedia of public space.  we are looking for documents and projects on this issue: texts (theory, anthology, bibliography), images (photographs, videos, maps, drawings) and sounds. If you are geographer, urban planner, architect, engineer, artist, sociologist, landscape historian, philosophers, political scientists, etc. you can contribute to e-publicspace.net.
