International Society of Biourbanism at the
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ART, ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN DESIGN
Bologna, Italy, 25-27 June 2014
“Past present and future of public space” is an Italian project, developed as an academic research activity by Dr. Luisa Bravo at the Department of Architecture, University of Bologna (Italy). It aims to explore new dimensions of public realm and to discuss results of research activities, through a multidisciplinary approach, on public space and related topics, comparing theories and projects with advisors and correspondents from different contexts.
Started in 2012, the project has involved many international scholars and professionals.
First results were presented and discussed at the Biennale dello spazio pubblico on May 2013 in Rome, during an international session coordinated by Luisa Bravo, and published in a special issue of the digital journal “IN_BO. Ricerche e progetti per il territorio, la città e l’architettura”, entitled “The public space of education”, edited by Luisa Bravo and Claudio Sgarbi. During the Roman session a call for proposals has been launched in order to invite scholars, architects, urban designers, planners, photographers and artists to join the project.
The research project was then discussed in Bologna, on November 2013, during a symposium and exhibition at Quartiere San Vitale, Municipality of Bologna.
The international conference, promoted by “City Space Architecture” cultural association in Bologna (Italy), that will take place in Bologna, next 25-27 June 2014, is intended to be the final result of this research activity, as a large public event.
