ADAPTABILITATEA SPAȚIULUI PUBLIC. Centrul istoric București
THE VERSATILITY OF PUBLIC SPACE. The Historical Center of Bucharest

Summary/Abstract: The topic of this article is a reflection on the versatility of architecture and the role of public space in the making of the city, based on the study conducted by the design studio for the first project of the 3rd year of study, Places of the city. Public space gives the structure of the city and can be understood as a series of layers, of distinct registers super-imposed over time, which must not be interpreted by homogenization or reduction. Public space is a concept with a wide range of meanings and its reduction to only one of its characteristics erodes its essence and leads to a loss of its richness of nuances. It takes place not only at a concrete but also at a symbolic level. It signifies the memory and continuity of urban life and its specificity is closely linked to the meanings assigned to it by its users.
