Libri di Madalina Ghibusi

The exploration of social spaces within urban environments conducted by the author is driven by the changing practices and behaviors of people. Focusing on the past two decades, the research addresses the challenges of maintaining a human scale in rapidly growing and densifying cities. The study identifies and defines these new forms of social space, emphasizing a qualitative approach to urban development. Through transdisciplinary research and observational studies, the author observes a preference for temporary and informal settings in undefined public spaces, contributing to the creation of diverse socio-spatial constructs. The resulting terminology captures the intersection of physical and social dimensions, revealing how strategic and intervention processes shape the contemporary city's new social forms. Through the articulation of nine possible definitions, this book provides a nuanced exploration of the dynamic relationship between urban life, space, and society, offering valuable insights into the evolving lexicon of urban space.

From park through gardens and arriving to objects might seem, at the first sight, like a big leap between these three different notions that we propose to call scales, as they are going to be treated by their ability to measure and orientate. This is what the discourse of this publication aims to highlight: that interior design can reach and enrich on multiple levels. These levels will arrive to some touchpoints in a few cases only to continue afterwards to go in other directions, proving how the research in design and architecture can become a neverending resource for future inquiries.
