Digital collages examining public spaces in New Haven, CT and West Haven, CT. These studies focus on the tension of boundaries between public and private spaces.
This is a call for more attention and more space for the communal area, which in practice will come down to placing private interests in proper perspective. Such ‘social space’ is the achievement of creating a distinction between an unallocated zone for communal claims and the elements allocated to individual claims, to which the unallocated zone is complementary and equal. Making the specific and the general fundamentally mutually dependent, and therefore the temporary and individual on the one hand and the more permanent and communal on the other is the essential achievement of structuralism for architecture.OASE Issue 90
