The American Idea of Public Design: The Street as Place, a panel discussion co-presented by Temple University Libraries and DesignPhiladelphia, explored design at street level on Thursday, November 8, 2012. How do objects on the street – the props that surround us as we come, go, and linger – affect the quality of our experience and the livability of the city? All photos in the slideshow are of public spaces in Philadelphia. Panelists: Bryan Hanes, Landscape Architect and Urban Designer; Diana Lind, Executive Director and Editor in Chief of Next American City; and Inga Saffron, Architecture Critic at The Philadelphia Inquirer. Hilary Jay, Founding Director of DesignPhiladelphia moderated the discussion.
