1. PUBLIC SPACE GROUP RESEARCH

During the rst three weeks, the group research focused on how architecture interacts with the public. e re ection of this study's impact on the later thesis design aimed to use the public facility to interact with communities and reveal for new architecture philosophy.

Agency

Architecture should never be independent and only care about spatial quality. Space is the agency to interact with the environment, humanity, culture and time. Only discussing urban without considering ecology is too limited for architecture study.

Public autonomy

e precedent study of D’architecture Autogree shows that by providing space and some simple strategies, people’s impact and trace on the architecture could be another design space without a designer.

Activity and space occupation

e series study of the agsta garden shows that when di erent crowds with various activities share the same public space, the originally designed function may not end up the same when people use it without any navigation.

Material in public space

e study of Former GPO steps shows how the material impacts public behaviour and how crowd impacts individuals. is reveals that the texture is not the only factor in navigating the utility method. Some events will develop a space’s new function unexpectedly.
