Recreating Public Space: Poetics in the Production of Public Space

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Community health and environmental sustainability are two national goals. 'Recreating Place' proposes that they are interlinked. First, it focuses on the neglected cultural heritage of local communities. Second, it investigates a graphic technique for translating these collective traces and associations into the design of the place. Developing a creative research model, 'Recreating Place' acts locally but thinks globally. Showing that the well-being that springs from poetic repossession of the place through its stories provides the collective motivation to ensure that place's environmental sustainability, it demonstrates how national goals can be met through the poetic re-enchantment of particular locales.
