PUBLIC/PRIVATE SPACE
OF ALL THE THINGS CONSIDERED WHEN DESIGNING, WHETHER ARCHITECTURE OR CITY PLANNING, AMONG THE MOST IMPORTANT ARE PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SPACE, AND THE TRANSITION BETWEEN THE TWO. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE NEED IS OBVIOUS, PRIVATE SPACE IN A RESIDENCE FOR INSTANCE, AND OTHER TIMES WHEN IT'S MORE AMBIGUOUS, SUCH AS IN THE CASE OF PRIVATELY OWNED PUBLIC SPACES WHERE WHO THE "PUBLIC" IS CAN BE WIDELY INTERPRETED. THE MOVE BETWEEN PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SPACES CAN ALSO VARY FROM A WELL DEFINED BOUNDARY TO A MORE LOOSE TRANSITION. THESE AMBIGUITIES ARE INCREASING ESPECIALLY IN THIS TIME OF INCREASED CONNECTIVITY.
