Exploring public space

Mapping places where you can connect and places where you can be private.

  1. No connection, more quiet place, lass traffic flows
  2. Back cover, as much protection as possible, not in the middle.
  3. Sit or stand? Standing more easily to go away, more freedom, less noticeable
  4. Have an overview
  5. On the terraces you can sit annonnymous and do not stand out

We felt more comfortable when we used the space in the same way the other people around us did. You feel like you stand out when you stand still on the middle of square, because the other people are using it to pass by. At the same time you will feel more comfortable by standing next to an object, because then it doesn’t feel like you are standing in the way. The feeling of having the control of a situation and being able to oversee the spot makes you feel more comfortable. The connection with the people around you is therefore important.
