Why should cities be dull and predictable? We believe public spaces can be vibrant, playful, and full of life. Color, creativity, and interaction are not extras—they are essentials. #100Architects #UrbanActivation #PublicSpace #PlayfulDesign #ColorfulSpaces #CreativeCities

Public spaces are adopting unique identities - but WHY? As much as I love a good logo, the reason public spaces like parks are becoming branded isn’t really about aesthetics. It’s about making these public spaces more accessible and appealing. Thoughtful branding transforms parks into destinations, signaling their purpose and creating a sense of belonging - often you’ll see parks branded in a way that’s symbolic of the local culture. I personally love this move toward intentionally branded public spaces - as we seek to make public parks more active parts of the community, branding is a tool to engage the distracted, chronically-online public. What do you think? Have you noticed branding in your local park? #brandidentity #brandstrategy #thirdspace #graphicdesign #wellnessbrand

According to sociologist Ray Oldenberg, ‘third places’ are key to fostering a sense of community and promoting civic engagement in society. These shared spaces encourage interaction between people across the different realms of life, beyond more structured spaces like home and school or work, and become the backdrop for informal public life. Some examples of third places include libraries, parks, cafes, and community centres. Studies, however, have shown that with the onset of social media, these spaces are gradually disappearing. Studio Saar’s Third Space in Udaipur, India, for the local non-profit Dharohar, aims to help reverse this trend by providing a multifunctional space that can cater to the social and recreational needs of the locals.

Part 1 of 3! Do these characteristics describe a third place you go to?❤️ and what are we looking to DO at these places? (Beyond just having fun and hangin out…which is necessary, but we’re getting at something more… #thirdspace #thirdspaces #thirdplaces #thirdplace #communitycenter #walkablecities #walkablecommunity #publicspace #greenscreen

What is a sense of enclosure? It helps make streets feel cozy or comfortable, and improves walkability #urbandesign #walkability

Walkable spaces truly feel freeing #city #walkablecity #transit #officespace #urbanism #carfree #reels

This is how the space used for parking spaces could instead be used for people. Sign the @yimbyaction People Over Parking petition petition at the link in bio. #urbandesign #urbanplanning #parking

“The Fakirs’ Rest” by Stéphane Argillet and Gilles Paté exposes the rise of hostile architecture in Paris—spikes, barriers, and divided benches designed to prevent homeless people from resting in public spaces. The #video highlights how these urban features exclude the most vulnerable, turning cities into spaces of quiet social violence. Drawing parallels between homeless individuals and fakirs who endure pain, the artists challenge viewers to reconsider for whom public spaces are truly designed and call for inclusive, humane urban planning that prioritizes accessibility over exclusion. #architectanddesign • #architecture #architect #design #society #building #urbandesign #urbanarchitecture
