Master of Urban Design Thesis

This thesis is based in the need of rethinking the role of Art and Culture in Urban Design projects, in the demonstrated capacity of the Art to reclaim public space, and enhance Culture in the Public Realm.
The research is based in Columbus Avenue, San Francisco, a diagonal-corridor that goes trough some of the densest and more livable neighborhoods in the City.

public art Matrix

Coming back to work.
Have to explain all the new discovers...



This matrix is related with the list of purposes that I think Public Art can have in the urban context.
(Starting point in this link http://columbusavenuesfo.blogspot.com/2008/07/importance-of-art-in-urban-design.html)

It is related with specific urban design goals that I wrote down for the thesis site: Columbus Avenue.
It also relates the appearance of art during the urban design process. The timing, the phasing of those new artful tools that I want to incorporate in a new way of doing Urban Design is one of the biggest issues addressed in this thesis. Having examples of the types of Art that can accomplish those purposes is essential to associate the purposes with the existent public space.
