The document discusses public spaces and their design. It defines public spaces as places anyone has a right to access without exclusion. It describes several objectives for urban design in public spaces, including quality, legibility, diversity, adaptability, ease of movement, and identity. The document analyzes the Superkilen Park in Copenhagen according to Kevin Lynch's five dimensions of urban design performance: vitality, sense, fit, access, and control. Finally, it discusses how design can affect people's choices and behaviors in public spaces.

In land use planning, urban open space is open space areas for "parks", "green spaces", and other open areas. The landscape of urban open spaces can range from playing fields to highly maintained environments to relatively natural landscapes. They are commonly open to public access, however, urban open spaces may be privately owned. Areas outside city boundaries, such as state and national parks as well as open space in the countryside, are not considered urban open space. Streets, piazzas, plazas and urban squares are not always defined as urban open space in land use planning.

Creating Great Places - Webinar1_Salutogenic Design QUT
Imagining and designing urban environments where all people thrive is an extraordinary task. For a space to inspire, excite and positively transform people’s lives, it needs to be designed based on theory and research. This PPT is part one of a free four-part webinar design series delving into research, case studies and critical theories to provide you with the tools to create spaces that are inclusive, sustainable and salutogenic, that is, health-promoting.
Based on their newly released book “Creating Great Places: Evidence-based Urban Design for Health and Wellbeing”, Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture Debra Cushing and Professor of Design Psychology Evonne Miller, will lead a conversation about the value and processes of engaging deeply with design theory. In collaboration with Tobias Volbert from Urban Play, Deb and Evonne will walk through a different priority each week:
Week 1 introduces their notion of theory-storming (based on Edward de Bono’s Thinking Hats approach) and how to design salutogenic (health-promoting) places.

The Phase 2 of the End-of-study project is focus on Design creativity and development.
During this phase, I produced leaflet, booklet and posters to explain my ideas.
1 - Green Escape
2 - In front of the door
The green areas facilitate in encouraging human interaction while promoting community involvement and ownership. Local Green Spaces contribute to local identity, character of the area and sense of the place. They make an important contribution to the physical form and layout of the settlement. They may link up with other open spaces and allow views through or beyond the settlement, which are valued locally. The green areas must be aesthetically pleasing, tranquil and possess recreational value for the local communityUse of native, drought-tolerant plantings will create habitat for birds and insects, reduce water use, and aid adaptation to changing climate conditions. Planting of shady trees will reduce the urban heat island effect, creating more livable outdoor spaces. Edible landscaping is a responsible and worthwhile use of landscape space, even in the front yard. Water retention and filtering will help protect water quality.
The soft landscaping in forms of trees, lawns, hedges, flower gardens can be around public areas such as monuments, industrial areas, commercial areas, along the drains and roads.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

2. CLASSIFICATION OF PUBLIC SPACES
• STREETS AS PUBLIC SPACES • PARKS AS PUBLIC SPACES
WHAT IS A PUBLIC SPACE?
Public space or a public place is a place where anyone has a right
to come without being excluded because economic or social
conditions.
12. HUMAN INFLUENCE ON PUBLIC SPACES
ACCORDING TO KEVIN LYNCH,
Lynch (1981, Pp. 118-119) Identified Five Performance Dimensions Of Urban Design:
Vitality: The Degree To Which The Form Of Places Supports The Functions, Biological
Requirements And Capabilities Of Human Beings.
Sense: The Degree To Which Places Can Be Clearly Perceived And Structured In Time And
Space By Users.
Fit The Degree To Which The Form And Capacity Of Spaces Matches The Pattern Of
Behaviours That People Engage In Or Want To Engage In.
Access: The Ability To Reach Other Persons, Activities, Resources, Services, Information,
Or Places.
Control: The Degree To Which Those Who Use, Work Or Reside In Places Can Create And
Manage Access To Spaces And Activities.
13. EXAMPLE OF A PUBLIC SPACE ANALYSED ACCORDING TO LYNCH
FIVE PERFORMANCE DIMENSIONS
SUPERKILEN PARK, COPENHAGEN, DENMARK.
Architects: BIG Architects, Topotek 1, Superflex.
Area: 30.0 sq.
Year: 2012
15. VITALITY OF THE SPACE
Superkilen is a park that supports diversity. In the
garden, the translocation of an ideal, the
reproduction of another place, such as a far off
landscape, is a common theme through time.
The activities of the Green Park with its soft hills
and surfaces appeals to children, young people
and families.(Arch daily, 2012).
16. SENSE OF THE SPACE
The conceptual starting point is a division of Superkilen into three zones and colours – green,
black and red. The different surfaces and colours are integrated to form new, dynamic
surroundings for the everyday objects(Archdaily, 2012).
17. FIT OF THE SPACE
Facades are incorporated visually in the project by following the colour of the surface
conceptually folding upwards and hereby creating a three-dimensional experience.
18. ACCESS OF THE SPACE
To create better and more transparent infrastructure throughout the neighbourhood, new
connections linking to the surrounding neighbourhoods were created, with emphasis on the
connection to Mimersgade, where citizens have expressed desire for a bus passage.
19. CONTROL OF THE SPACE
To protect from the street ending at the north east corner of the square and to meet the
wishes from the neighbours, they folded up a corner of the square creating a covered
space.
In the heart of the Superkilen Masterplan, it is a space where the locals meet around the
Moroccan fountain, the Turkish bench, under the Japanese cherry-trees as the extension of
the area’s patio. In weekdays, permanent tables, benches and grill facilities serve as an
urban living room for backgammon, chess players etc. (Archdaily, 2012).
20. THE DESIGN OF A PLACE COULD AFFECT THE CHOICES
PEOPLE MAKE FOR INSTANCE
Where they could and could not go
The range of uses available
How easily they could understand what opportunities it offers
The degree to which they could use a given place for different purposes
Whether the detailed appearance of the place made them aware of the choice
available
Their choice of sensory experience
The extent to which they could put their own stamp on a place
21. EFFECTS OF THE ENVIRONMENT ON PEOPLE
JACK NASAR(1998), Identified Five Attributes Of ‘Liked’ Environments. Disliked
Environments Tended To Have Opposites Of These.
NATURALNESS, the environments that are natural or where there is a
predominance of nature over man- built elements.
CLEANLINESS, environments that appear to be looked after and cared for.
OPENNESS AND DEFINED SPACE, the blending of defined open space with
panoramas and vistas of pleasant elements.
HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE, environments that provoke favourable
associations.
ORDER, in terms of organisation, legibility and clarity.
22. People seek to satisfy basically four primary needs in public spaces,
1) COMFORT
• length of time people stay in a public space indicates their level of comfort.
• Social and psychological comfort.
• Environmental factors are also important(sun, wind, etc.)
• Sense of security.
23. 2) RELAXATION
• Natural elements such as trees, water features, greenery and also separation
from vehicular traffic help the body and mind for relaxation.
24. 3) PASSIVE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE ENVIRONMENT
• not becoming actively involved with the environment
• People sometimes go to watch the environment, pedestrian flow, art
activities and other performances.
25. 4) ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE ENVIRONMENT
• Direct contact with friends, family and even strangers.
• Successful spaces provide opportunities for contact between individuals.
26. CONCLUSION
Human behaviours in public spaces differ from one another but become similar in
cases where the users are not taken into consideration before the design is
implemented in a given space. Gender is one of the key factors to be considered when
discussing about the users of spaces. The gender gaps in levels of individuality and
belonging in public spaces were small but significant in developing societies.
