Contemporary Caravanserrais

This book is a collection of thoughts, passages, research and projects that regard the emerging question of public space. The square and its evolution, from a place of urban and human relationships to a place of different collective activities in the contemporary city. From the analysis one can read not only the design experience and the diffusion of new models, but also the changes in the aesthetic experience of public space, in its socio-urban and architectural implications, and in its relationships between horizontal space (square) and vertical space (building). Text in English and Italian. 720 colour
