Learning from vernacular architecture on how to design a better public realm
Description
Readings from Gottfried Semper on "ornament and pattern making" and Christopher Alexander on "form and context", together with learning from vernacular architecture and the ideas that shaped our private realm can actually give ideas on how to solve the design problems in the public spaces and put together a better fit and more harmonious designs for urban designers and architects. This is just an initial discussion to think about how to solve the problems in public spaces in a different way. This is in keeping with the inclusion agenda and designing with empathy for all.
