Abstract- In architecture of public space, the experience of place plays an important role in the making of the good quality of public spaces. The experience of the space is multi-sensory, so architecture should emphasize its attention also on the architectural space approach through auditory experience. The study was conducted to determine the dynamics connection of soundscape experience and Terrace Cikapundung architecture.The research method is qualitative and descriptive analysis. Quantitative measurements are made to complement the qualitative data. The analysis is done through questionnaire distribution, field observation, analysis, and by relating it with the study of theories about public space architecture, soundscape, sacred sounds, sense of place, intention of architecture, and perception theory.In Terrace Cikapundung are found quite a lot of natural sounds, which are considered as sounds that improve the quality of the people spatial experience. The natural sounds that are found there are the sound of birds, wind, and water flow. While the dominant voice heard is the sound of motor vehicle, which is considered as disturbing sound for the audiences in particular “man-made zone” (zone that borders the highway). This indicates that there are some architectural elements that have not been able to work optimally, especially the design of bordering element between the site with the main sound source (Jalan Siliwangi). Furthermore, the concave physical topology and the zonation of “man-made zone” and “natural zone” is well designed, based on the variety characterictic of function, location, and order of architectural elements, that will give us the study and example of spatial making and good experience of place.Through design that concern in the multi-sensory aspects of experience, especially in auditory experience, the experience of space can be felt thoroughly and the quality of a public space can be increased. Key Words: soundscape, architectural element, open public space

The City

In the last decades, the occupation of the pedestrian routes and in general of the public space in the city center of Cali Colombia, have been evidencing diverse phenomena, which to a great extent respond to the accelerated growth of the urban population, where the migrations that have occurred in the interior of the country (fruit of the social conflicts of the last decades), have particularly marked the realities. In Cali, on 10th and 15th streets, near the Government Building, the Palace of Justice and the Municipal Administrative Center - CAM, the public space in general terms has been stressed in a particular way, which has generated conflicts in the surfaces designed for the pedestrians, since they are occupied by vendors in the midst of the informality routines, forcing the pedestrian to use the automobile tracks being a notorious and interesting phenomenon, when observing the factors that produce it and using them as parameters in the design of architectural spaces that contribute to improvement.

This brief study focuses on proxemic study approach for public spaces which brushed the reflec- tion of aspiration and collaboration of the artists, designers and their public as phenomenon on the spirit of today (zeitgeist). The study also reads the environmental effect on people’s habitude and its surroundings.The study is intended to obtain facts about objects on public spaces ever-evolved, e.g. Cihampelas Avenue Bandung, to identify recent problems and practices implied on tendency of using visual sign as allure. It is also intended to compile ideas about visual signs through relevant proxemic study approach, so that it could be processed into temporary conclusion to advice entrepreneurs, local au- thorities, academics and commoners.Keywords: public space, architecture, visual signs, communication science, proxemic approach

New Urban Agenda

In September 2018 City Space Architecture organized a three day event in Venice titled ‘Knowledge sharing toward implementation of the New Urban Agenda’, included in the ‘Past Present and Future of Public Space’ international conference series started in 2014 with an inaugural three day event in Bologna. City Space Architecture signed a cooperation agreement with La Biennale di Venezia within the 16th International Architecture Exhibition (Venice Architecture Biennale) - titled FREESPACE, curated by Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara[1] - in order to be included in the ‘Biennale Sessions’, a special program for Universities and Higher Education Institutions. The 2018 conference in Venice was organized in partnership with UN-Habitat, ISOCARP – the International Society of City and Regional Planners, University of Auckland (New Zealand), and Hunan University (China). It was willing to strengthen City Space Architecture's efforts around the implementation of the New Urban Agenda adopted at the Habitat III conference and to continue the discussion on the importance of public space in cities, with the participation of students and young researchers.

In November 2018 The Journal of Public Space published the special issue ‘Art and Activism in Public Space’, that was launched in Barcelona at RMIT Europe headquarters, during the SkypeLab Sympolab (http://www.skypelab.org/), and was introduced by Estanislau Roca Blanch, Vice Rector for Infrastructure and Architecture at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. The issue collected a selection of projects of invited artists and activists, from Italy, Spain, Germany, United States, South America, Africa and Australia, and was the result of a collaboration between City Space Architecture and RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. The issue received an overwhelming success: according to our data and statistics, it gave a significant boost to the journal, so we decided to start a series on this topic. The Journal of Public Space is interested to embed artists and activists’ research work in the discussion on public space, highlighting the importance of on-the-ground observations and human-oriented thinking for the future of cities.

<p class="PublicSpace-Abstract" align="left">The workshop ‘Facilitating Spatial Negotiation’, which took place as part of the ‘Past, Present and Future of Public Space’ International conference on Art, Architecture and Urban Design that took place in Bologna (2014), promoted by City Space Architecture, demonstrates a pragmatic approach to understanding how public space can be realised. The method of collaborative painting is employed within a participatory practice that adopts tactics from spatial agency and critical spatial practice. First, this paper provides a descriptive and visual insight into the discussion between six participants on the topic of the street as a public space, in light of the Social Street movement. Then, it sets out how the session can be understood, through analogy, as a creative exercise in performing a common space. By reflecting upon this event through the framework of participatory practice, the focus is on how conflict is revealed and negotiated within the group. Two instants of conflict are discussed, which raise the critical question whether people are, in fact, interested in working together towards the production and use of common space. It is suggested that the implications of this workshop are twofold. First, a truly public space cannot be realised if the principles of common space are not adopted within the process of its negotiation. Secondly, the finding of a common language in the process of negotiating public space is crucial to this process. The painterly approach offers a shared visual forum, but ultimately the use of any facilitating medium depends on people’s responsibility to participate.</p>
