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.
