Abstract:
What are really the qualities of an architectural space that contribute the most to become so welcoming to the users and the general public in order to claim such a title? Is there any sort of recipe for that? Can the strategy to achieve this quality be easily applied to all sorts of different public spaces, by all types of users, in all disparate kinds of sites? The paper will examine three different cases of realized works that present the qualities that enhance identity as a public and user friendly space, through a systemic architectural approach.
