The book is a collection of thoughts, passages, research, and projects
that regard the emerging question of public space. The square and its
evolution, from a place of urban and human relationships to a place of
different collective activities in the contemporary city. From the
analysis one can read not only the design experience and the diffusion
of new models, but also the changes in the aesthetic experience of
public space, in its socio-urban and architectural implications, and in
its relationships between horizontal space (square) and vertical space
(building).
