About this item

Highlights

Through expanded design strategies in post hand over Macau and the research of infrastructure design and public space within dense environments, LBA defined un-purposed space as a mechanism to intertwine private and public spaces while setting up a model of opportunistic urbanism where designers become agents of innovative procurement strategies.Working beyond the strict realm of design and the commissioned briefs, LBA discovered that architects could sometimes become agents of change, negotiators or policy-makers, thus changing both the culture of commissioning projects and the spatial propositions for the future city by adding new layers of community interaction and cultural use to the overall design.

Description

Book Synopsis

Through expanded design strategies in post hand over Macau and the research of infrastructure design and public space within dense environments, LBA defined un-purposed space as a mechanism to intertwine private and public spaces while setting up a model of opportunistic urbanism where designers become agents of innovative procurement strategies.

Working beyond the strict realm of design and the commissioned briefs, LBA discovered that architects could sometimes become agents of change, negotiators or policy-makers, thus changing both the culture of commissioning projects and the spatial propositions for the future city by adding new layers of community interaction and cultural use to the overall design. It is a labor of generosity that is at the core of the architectural agenda, when we architects are able to address the client's desires and add our own agendas in response to inherent urban issues to fulfill our true civic responsibility.
