{"pk":58103,"title":"The Idea of the Common: A Pedagogical Assessment of a Graduate Architecture Seminar in Dublin, Ireland","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Public space—its history, uses and especially design—lies at the heart of the architectural curriculum. Yet defining this term can be a slippery task: what are we alluding to, specifically, when we speak of public space? Is it an idea, a phenomenon, a distinct place that can be drawn, measured and plotted? In the formal academic discipline of architecture, we freely use and apply this expression and its cognates to a multitude of situations, but we seldom pause to consider, much less scrutinize, its underlying meaning. This essay explores the conundrum of “concretizing” public space through the lens of a graduate seminar. The seminar aims to develop a series of lucid and balanced dialogues pertaining to commonality in the city.","language":"en","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"public space, urban order, institution, commonality, Dublin"}],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9n0795gd","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Samantha","middle_name":"Leah","last_name":"Martin-McAuliffe","name_suffix":"","institution":"University College Dublin","department":""}],"date_submitted":"2016-01-01T22:51:01Z","date_accepted":"2016-01-01T22:51:01Z","date_published":"2016-10-21T22:51:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ucdavislibrary_streetnotes/article/58103/galley/44266/download/"}]}
