Interstitial_Space

Publicly usable spaces are a basic prerequisite for public life. This applies to dense urban centers as well as in peri-urban fringe areas and rural communities. The research of the Institute of Urbanism in this area focuses on different forms of urban open spaces and the qualification of the entire space between buildings. Initially an analysis and social, ecological and economic qualification of the publicly accessible spaces in different contexts are elaborated. These form the basis for the development of recommendations for future designs of urban open spaces.
