Produktbeschreibung
This book is an inquiry on leftover spaces,
regarding their values and potentialities for the
city based on their contributions to the public
realm. To develop a consistent understanding of the
public realm in the city, the book encompasses a
comprehensive survey of theoretical approaches
towards urban space. The survey includes a
discussion on the concept of appropriation as a
specific mode of using spaces. Design attitudes in
applied projects are researched through literature,
and a critical model of public realm is obtained
concerning the elaborated concepts and objectives.
The study demonstrates the peculiarities of
leftover spaces and a contemplative design attitude
towards them in relation to the developed model.
Both actual use and physical characteristics of
spaces are matters of concern, with the claim that
such disregarded urban spaces can be conceived as
values for the city. The study ends with a
discussion on the characteristics of leftover spaces
in the context of Turkey, as values and
potentialities for public realm, elaborated in
relation to the types observed in the city of Ankara.
