Path, portal, place: Appreciating public space in urban environments

by edward-t-white

Inspired by a year living and teaching architecture in Florence, Italy, this book addresses the goal of keener environmental knowing, pointing out a way to see urban settings in more penetrating ways to evolve a personal urban alertness that moves us to finer levels of making sense of spaces. Emphasis is on the areas between buildings where urban life happens. The book has three sections, on urban environments, public space, and learning to appreciate, and is profusely illustrated with the author's signature hand sketches.
