This thesis project defines the role of a ‘third place’ as an informal public space and an essential part of the urban landscape, as well as citizens’ daily lives. Such spaces help the urban growth to integrate with the lives of the people, allowing for our diverse community to come together and nourish new kinds of relationships that are rather hard to obtain in private or commercialized spaces. Our cities are increasingly deprived of such spaces due to changes in our urban planning structure. Culture of commerce has put a lot of pressure on urban areas replacing the program of present and potential public areas for private functions. With the introduction of online communication and creation of social networks most social encounters take place in cyberspace. These technologies allow for easy and constant virtual information exchanges eliminating the need for physical contact, therefore changing the patterns of social interaction. Aiming to bring us closer together, these technologies began to physically isolate our society even more. As members of our society enter into the virtual world of these technologies everywhere they go, they began to isolate themselves from others in the physical realm. This thesis project aims to redefine the physical role of a ‘third place’ in the context of a modern society that has been affected by virtual communication technologies and increasing privatization of urban public spaces. A new form of a ‘third place’ will be designed to create a sense of place within a community, enhance and bring back the presence of people in the city, engage diverse social groups in physical activities and improve their social interaction.

Compared with the gradual and long exploration processes typical of European and American countries, China experienced a period marked by extremely high-speed modernisation and urbanisation, following the Land Reform. This is exemplified by a great number of urban reconstruction projects which have changed the traditional fabric of most cities. Yet, following the trend of cultural consumption since the late 1990s, numerous integrated restoration projects for historic districts were implemented to promote tourism as a promising industry to sustain economic growth. As a consequence of growth-oriented urban entrepreneurship, public spaces in these historic urban areas have also been perceptibly privatised. To a large extent, the capital and the authority of the local government directs the future prospect of the historic urban landscape in Chinese cities. On the other hand, development-oriented urban construction stimulates a rise in awareness of the need for protection strategies to conserve historic urban fabric. On a global scale, the public sector has begun to introspect on urban governance under the spirit of entrepreneurship. The urban renewal has now been extended to urban regeneration and the previous public-private partnership has been substituted with a multi-sectoral cooperative model. In recent years, the Chinese central government has proposed the core concept of “Seeing people, Seeing things, Seeing life”, which is re-orientated towards historic-city regeneration as a way of promoting “Micro-renewal and Micro-disturbance”. Among such activities, the use of exhibitions as a strategy for simultaneous spatial transformation and activation has gradually formed a common path, encouraging many cities to regenerate historic urban areas. This article is based on on this reorientation, taking Quanzhou as an example, making a critical observation on the new form of public space it has produced, and digs into the operational mechanism behind it as well as the possibility for publicness.

Most people are trapped by their monotonous activities, they tend to look for more practical entertainment through smart phones, the internet or television. That might  reduce  the real meaning of social interaction. The existence of public space itself is one of many factors that encourgage people to do social interaction. Therefore, as what the author has read in  a literature study, that third place able to be one of the bridges of social interaction. Third Place provides a catalyst space between home and work, making the third place a comfortable haven. Third Place is not a place of work or home, but a place to relax that can allow you to have a open community life. The selection of a cultural center as a third place because the cultural center can pour various expressions of human needs, dreams and desires. In addition, the location of the site is next to Taman Ismail Marzuki. Seeing that there are several programs that cannot be accommodated by Taman Ismail Marzuki and the need to reintroduce Betawi cultural values that are starting to fade in the present,  encouragge us to create programs that can support this. The design method used by this project is the dis-programming method, a program that is mutually contaminating with other programs, The location is close to the education center and cultural the center which drives both programs to support one another, here the writer combines programs in the cultural center with educational programs such as dance studios, music studios and libraries. AbstrakSebagian besar masyarakat terjebak dengan aktivitas mereka yang monoton, mereka cenderung mencari hiburan yang lebih praktis melalui ponsel pintar, internet atau televisi. Hal tersebut mengurangi esensi dari interaksi sosial yang seharusnya dilakukan. Keberadaan ruang publik sendiri merupakan salah satu faktor yang dapat mendorong terjadinya interaksi sosial. Oleh karena itu penulis melakukan studi literatur, berdasarkan hasil studi penulis dapat menyimpulan bahwa third place dapat menjadi salah satu jembatan interaksi sosial. Third Place menyediakan ruang katalis antara rumah dan tempat kerja, menjadikan third place sebagai tempat singgah yang nyaman. Third Place bukanlah tempat kerja ataupun rumah, melainkan tempat bersantai yang dapat memungkinkan kehidupan komunitas yang terbuka. Pemilihan pusat kebudayaan sebagai third place dikarenakan pusat budaya dapat menuangkan berbagai ekspresi kebutuhan manusia, mimpi dan keinginan. Selain itu, lokasi tapak berada disebelah Taman Ismail Marzuki. Melihat ada beberapa program yang belum dapat diakomodir oleh Taman Ismail Marzuki dan perlunya pengenalan kembali akan nilai-nilai budaya betawi yang mulai pudar di zaman sekarang, mendorongnya diciptakan program – program yang dapat mendukung hal tersebut. Metode perancangan yang digunakan proyek ini adalah metode dis-programming, program yang sifatnya saling mengkontaminasi dengan program lainnya. Letak tapak yang dekat dengan pusat pendidikan dan pusat kebudayaan mendorong terjadinya program yang saling mendukung satu sama lain, disini penulis menggabungkan program yang ada di pusat kebudayaan dengan program pendidikan seperti studio tari, studio musik dan perpustakaan.

The fighters of the People's Liberation War (PLW) enjoyed the social prestige and the monuments of the killed fighters served the role of the ideological interests of the ruling class at the time. The aim of this paper is to show the link between the alive social actors and the chosen dead ones (fighters of the PLW, partisans) through the use of the anthropological anxiety of the cessation of life through metaphorical immortality and eternal memory. Essentially, this was the illusion for ideological foundation, special thematic and ideological orientation of sculptures within the public space. Via symbolic contents, such as monuments in this case, death is shown as the transition, that is, new beginning of life and not its end. Active involvement of a number of artists from all parts of former Yugoslavia within the units of the Partisan army in the PLW is the phenomenon which unequivocally testifies about the link of their political commitment and artistic creation, which also got particularly strong momentum immediately after the Liberation. The most important social task in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) was nurturing of the revolutionary tradition, especially seen in the erection of memorials, then in (re)naming of the towns with Tito's name or the names of the local heroes, as well as streets, schools, factories, but also in organizing marches to places where the famous battles and Partisan sessions during the PLW occurred, etc. This paper, among other things, deals with extremely fruitful production of the sculptors in the liberated country, especially from the aspect of extensive social orders, which at the same time encouraged and enabled fast and diverse development of the public monuments within urban areas on the ground of the whole former Yugoslavia, whose modus operandi was reshaping of the political and ideological map of The New Yugoslavia and ideological and political battle with "relapses of the past".

Abstract: Public space as part of city space cannot be separated from a city. According to Sunaryo (2004), the city system is a fulfillment of the necessities of life for the community which includes living, working and recreation. Public space has an important meaning for urban areas or regions, because the main role of public space is to harmonize the patterns of life of a city (Kustianingrum, 2013). every type of public facility must be able to accommodate the interests of all community groups starting from the conditions that are categorized as normal, small children, disabled and elderly. One strategy to be able to provide facilities that are able to meet all these needs, namely by considering the application of the seven principles of universal design. In this study the data analysis method used is descriptive qualitative method. Qualitative research aims at research that ultimately produces design solutions. In this study will reveal how the implementation of 7 (seven) Universal Design Principles in public spaces in Bandar Lampung City. It is hoped that this study can be used as a recommendation in policy making for the design of a friendly public space for all people including people with disabilities and children in the city of Bandar Lampung.Keyword: Public Space, Universal Design, DisabilitiesAbstrak: Ruang publik sebagai bagian dari ruang kota tidak dapat dipisahkan keberadaannya dari suatu kota.

This article considers the experience of improving public spaces of one of the small towns in Sverdlovsk region – the city of Krasnoufimsk. The topic of urban improvement is a serious challenge for our country. When designing public areas, it is important to consider the features of the city, its history, uniqueness, opinion of the population. Several tasks can be solved through the improvement of the city: the development of a comfortable urban environment, attracting tourists and preserving the cultural heritage. The choice of certain landscaping projects in most cases requires historical and cultural examination. Cultural workers should also act as experts in the public space reconstruction project. This article reflects on a similar experience during the reconstruction project of the Ufa river embankment in the central district of Krasnoufimsk, when employees of the regional museum were invited to participate. The text presents examples of filling the space of the embankment with hidden meanings from the regional history. The authors are of the opinion that representatives of museum community in modern society are not only keepers of the past, but also creators of the future image of the city.

Public space is one important element for an area that can be a guide and reflect the character of a society. The existence of public space is a necessity that must be met in the formation or development of an area. At present, public space is also expected to function as a third place that is able to answer the needs of the community to fill the time between returning to work and returning home. Kwitang has minimal social interaction due to the lack of public space facilities that can facilitate the activities of residents in the area. Kwitang is one of the area that requires public space, which not only functions aesthetically, but also functions as a social function such as entertainment and recreation education facilities. The purpose of designing public facilities in this area is to produce public facilities that facilitate activities in the Kwitang, and provide a forum for residents of Kwitang to expose their identity, which is pencak silat art from those area. This public facility is expected to become a neutral third place, a place to relieve stress, a place to gather and discuss after work, school and other activities. The concept of typology of educational facilities for entertainment and recreation uses a qualitative method by looking at the previous typology retrospectively and analyzing the behavior in them, which results in typology of entertainment and recreation education facilities into a single building unit that is connected to the surrounding environment. Entertainment and recreation education facilities that are designed can become a public space that is the identity of a Kwitang Region itself. AbstrakRuang publik merupakan salah satu elemen penting bagisuatu kawasan yang dapat menjadi petunjuk dan mencerminkan karakter suatu masyarakat. Keberadaan ruang publik menjadi kebutuhan yang harus terpenuhi dalam pembentukan atau perkembangan suatu kawasan. Saat ini, ruang publik juga diharapkan dapat berfungsi sebagai ruang ketiga yang mampu menjawab kebutuhan masyarakatnya untuk mengisi waktu diantara pulang bekerja hingga pulang kerumah. Kelurahan Kwitang memiliki interaksi sosial yang minim akibat kurangnya sarana ruang publik yang dapat memfasilitasi kegiatan  penduduk di kelurahan tersebut. Dengan demikian Kwitang merupakan salah satu Kawasan yang membutuhkan ruang publik, yang bukan hanya berfungsi secara estetika, tetapi juga berfungsi sebagai fungsi sosial seperti sarana edukasi hiburan dan rekreasi. Tujuan dari dirancangnya fasilitas publik pada kawasan ini adalah untuk menghasilkan fasilitas publik yang mewadahi kegiatan pada kelurahan Kwitang, dan memberikan wadah kepada penduduk kelurahan Kwitang untuk menyalurkan identitas yakni seni pencak silat dari suatu kelurahan tersebut. Fasilitas publik inilah yang diharapkan dapat menjadi sebuah ruang ketiga yang bersifat netral, menjadi sebuah wadah untuk melepas kepenatan sehari-hari, tempat untuk berkumpul dan berdiskusi selepas bekerja, sekolah dan kegiatan lainnya. ­Konsep tipologi dari sarana edukasi hiburan dan rekreasi menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan melihat tipologi terdahulunya secara retrospektif dan menganalisis perilaku didalamnya, yang menghasilkan tipologi sarana edukasi hiburan dan rekreasi menjadi satu kesatuan bangunan yang terhubung dengan lingkungan sekitar. Sarana edukasi hiburan dan rekreasi yang dirancang dapat menjadi suatu ruang publik yang menjadi identitas suatu Kawasan Kwitang itu sendiri.

Conscientes de la complejidad que supone adentrase en juicios sobre la calidad del paisaje urbano especialmente para una sociedad, como la actual, altamente desvinculada de su medio habitado, el trabajo de tesis doctoral precisó una revisión teórica sobre el papel heredado de la belleza en la formación histórica de las ciudades europeas. Dicho trabajo de investigación es el que aquí se presenta. En él se tratan las cuestiones de definición del concepto de belleza así como sus mutaciones en el plano teórico en paralelo al valor de “lo bello” en la ciudad desde finales de la Edad Media hasta la época contemporánea. Debido al carácter diverso de la belleza, las reflexiones se estructuran en un “espacio de pensamiento” entorno a siete categorías estéticas consideradas por Tatarkiewicz como variedades de belleza. Estas son: la aptitud, el ornamento, la atracción, la gracia, la sutileza, la sublimidad y el concepto de belleza dual. Mediante ejemplos históricos narrativos del espacio público (principalmente de plazas) según dichas categorías estéticas, se concluye que, ya sea desde su concepción amplia (sensu largo) o limitada (stricto sensu), la belleza ha ido acompañando a la formación histórica de las ciudades, al menos, en estos últimos ocho siglos.Abstract:Aware of the complexity involved in entering into judgments about the quality of the urban landscape especially for a society, such as the current one, highly disconnected from its inhabited environment, the doctoral thesis work required a theoretical review on the inherited role of beauty in training historic of European cities. This research work is the one presented here. It deals with the questions of definition of the concept of beauty as well as its mutations in the theoretical plane in parallel to the value of "the beautiful" in the city from the end of the Middle Ages to the contemporary era. Due to the diverse nature of beauty, the reflections are structured in a "space of thought" around seven aesthetic categories considered by Tatarkiewicz as varieties of beauty. These are: fitness, ornament, attraction, grace, subtlety, sublimity and the concept of dual beauty. Through historical narrative examples of public space (mainly squares) according to these aesthetic categories, it is concluded that, whether from its broad conception (long sensu) or limited (stricto sensu), beauty has been accompanying the historical formation of cities, at least, in these last eight centuries.

Commercial Activities

By analyzing the urban landscape, this investigation focuses on commercial typologies in historical urban areas and its relationship with the urban landscape and its heritage values. Trade plays an essential role in historical urban areas, both in the past and in the present, since it is part of the urban landscape—creating it and modifying it, but also preserving it. Historical protected urban areas contain diverse elements reflecting the impacts of commercial activities that have existed in cities throughout history. At present, the urban landscape of commercial activity is made up of a multiplicity of typologies and formats which interact with the historical landscape and its values, using them to strengthen its strategies of attraction, differentiation, and sales. Shop owners contribute to the preservation of historic urban areas by maintaining the commercial functions within them. Therefore, we affirm that the role of commercial activity in the preservation of urban protected areas is essential. However, further research is needed because this aspect has not been addressed in depth by the scientific community specializing in the management of cultural heritage.

From the analysis of the urban landscape, the investigation focuses on the role of commerce in historical urban areas and their relations at present with the landscape, in relation to the preservation of heritage values. Trade plays an essential role in historical urban areas, both in its past and in its present, since it is part of the urban landscape, creating it and modifying it but also preserving it. The historical protected urban areas contain diverse elements that reflect the impact of the commercial activity existing in the city throughout history. At present, the urban landscape of commercial activity is made up of a multiplicity of typologies and formats. Trade interacts with the historical landscape in which it is developed and the heritage values of that landscape, using them to strengthen its strategies of attraction, differentiation and sales. The shop owners contribute to the preservation of historic urban areas by maintaining the commercial function in them. Therefore, we affirm that the role of commercial activity in the preservation of urban protected areas is essential. However, further research is needed because the scientific community specializing in the management of cultural heritage has not deepened in this aspect.
