Urban Spaces by Jacobo Krauel, has a lot of glamor pictures of new urban spaces and designs through out the world. The case studies show a range from Plazas to art installations. It seems like the trend is that new urban spaces are taking a stance to engage the public and raise the public's conscientious of its existence. For example, Torico Square
Urban Space by Rob Krier, I a more architectural theory of historic spaces. It explores aspects that are not just perceived in plan but sectional as well. There are a lot of diagrams that explain variations of urban spaces.
Both of these books will be on my desk until Jan 30th. and back in the Library after that. Borrow them at any time just put them back of course.
