Placemaking: The Art and Practice of Building Communities
|
Addresses the current need for design professionals (placemakers) to work with constituents in creating space. Provides excellent advice to help designers understand the human requirements which are at the core of their profession. The authors share four narratives of placemaking in action. These stories demonstrate how placemakers have worked with people to plan a new church building, coordinate neighborhood development in a small city and assist the facility managers in a large banking institution.
