Description
The Architecture of Public Space is a richly illustrated chronicle of architectural research into Italy's historic towns and cities. This new book by Labics explores the country's characteristic public spaces, including squares, galleries, loggias, porticoes, and courtyards.
Through newly produced photographs, plans, and diagrams, Labics sets out to analyze the history and typologies of these enchanting spaces, offering a taxonomy of solutions that forms a timeless theory for the design of public spaces. The book provides a captivating collection of image material that visually decodes the characteristic core elements of Italian architecture.
The volume highlights the architectural solutions from the thirteenth to the twentieth centuries that produce the particular spatial quality of these urban structures, and explains how they were originally established and continue to be used by the people who inhabit them.
