Description
In investigating the rebirth of the idea of community through its relationship with architecture, this issue offers a range of perspectives on the social aspects of the city, from gathering spaces and individual bodies to the scene that builds a community. Sixteen projects from around the world are profiled, showing the perception of buildings at the scale of communities, and how users and inhabitants interact with their surroundings. Among these are Barcelona’s New Encants Market by b720 Arquitectos, Brasil Arquitetura’s Square of Arts in São Paulo, Lons-le-Saunier Mediatheque by du Besset-Lyon Architectes and the Elena Garro Cultural Centre in Mexico City.
