Public Life in the In-Between-City International Conference

Public Life in the In-Between-City
International Conference
Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning, Technion, I.I.T.
June 6-10, 2010

What are the phenomena of publicness under emergent life-styles?
What are the patterns and qualities of public spaces in the In-Between-City?
What are the potential contributions of researchers and designers to publicness and public spaces in the In-Between-City?

Through examinations of, among others, the following themes – definition of public space/place; single vs. multiple interpretation/identity; unity vs. discontinuity in space and time; abstract vs. real belonging; the planned/designated vs. the spontaneous/subversive – we would like to reexamine the appearance, meaning, performance and form of  publicness in the public spaces of the dispersed urban surroundings.

Researchers, designers, theoreticians, practitioners and scholars of various fields and backgrounds are invited to submit a 500-words abstract to <plic2010@gmail.com> by December 15, 2009.

Scientific Committee: Marc Augé | Iris Aravot | Peter Bishop | Margaret Crawford | Marina Epstein-Pliouchtch | FKL architects | Einat Kalish Rotem | Zvi Koren | Claudio Millul | Yael Moria | Franz Oswald | Elisheva Rosenberg | Tom Sieverts | Els Verbake
