Plans, Ideas, and Imaginations Civic Studio Fall09
Check out the “public theory” section of the Wiki from the Wealthy Civic STudio Project. http://look.gvsu.edu/wealthy/index.php/Public_Theory.
The list is a good overview of various thinkers whose work is relevant to a consideration of civic life in public space. STudio members each did research on the thinkers which you can use as an introduction.
by John Stilgoe
This book is a great introduction into how to use observation as a method of understanding a space. This is one of the two books I referenced in the Studio orientation meeting. Stilgoe calls attention to little details that are markers of the rich stories under the details. Give it a try in your own environment.
