Public Square Studio

American common space is in a state of flux. As demographics shift, technologies advance, cultural mores morph, and economies + politics churn, our cherished public spaces are becoming obsolete empty vessels of nostolgia. How can architects and urban desingers alter these spaces to accomodate the new and ever-changing character of American public space? This is the question that Kent State University's CUDC Fall 2006 Graduate Studio will investigate.

STUDIO UPDATE 27 SEPTEMBER 2006

Students have started to tackle the re-design of Public Square.

Three very different schemes/systems are beginning to emerge:

1. Multipli-cities of Spectacle Infrastructure
2. Intellectual Grazing Fields
3. Denisty-calibrated + modulated public space generators

Look for rapid progress in the next two weeks.
