A public walking landscape between the closed and the open. : Public space in relation to the commercial space and how to use the city like fluid boundary between private and public.

Abstract: I have made a site specific project, a public walking landscape between the closed and the open.This period of 100 days of work has included research addressed to the social infrastructure and the history of the site.The result has become a landscape intervention for urban space.A public landscape formed as a walkway through an existing space, a block consisting of a shopping centre and residences where the parkway moves between the buildings and creates new space.In a critical point of view, the neighborhood has a shortage of high quality public spaces and lack the ability to pass through blocks and inner yards, different alternatives of streets and a choice between the commercial and non-commercial space .The landscape is formed as an open deck and incorporated within the neighborhood. It offers a choice for the pedestrians to choose between the commercial and the non-shopping space when moving through the block. The project also creates new public spaces in between the existing space and the proposal.This proposal is both an investigation of the city and a proposal of possibilities to this specific site.
