The public chance

THE PUBLIC CHANCE is a visual analysis of 30 urban landscapes of opportunity. The projects selected are grouped according to scene of origin:

- Industrial areas

- Peripheral voids

- Infrastructures

- Waterfronts.

Each project is located:

- within surroundings of 60 km2 at a scale of 1:20,000 

- within surroundings of 3.5 km2 at a scale of 1:10,000.

Each intervention undergoes a layer analysis: 

- water

- vegetation

- buildings

- routes

- rooms

- activities

The 20 most used strategies arise from the comparison of all the projects.

THE PUBLIC CHANCE is the first book published by a+t ediciones in the In common series, which came about in 2005 in the pages of a+t magazine to express our concern for the good use and design of common spaces and was developed over two years, in four issues.

THE PUBLIC CHANCE offers a renewed vision of some of those projects and a third of new interventions, all of them under thematic analysis, characteristic of a+t’s publications.
