Project Description
A notion for rethinking territorial planning
The research aim is to look at the ambivalence of urban common. And provide a recommendation that helps common and private coexist in common territory.
With the development of society, the gentrification of common spaces is becoming a serious problem. It leads to the land prices raise and marginalized people losing their right to use those spaces equally. In the powerful current of the times, rethinking common space is necessary. And how letting common and private spaces coexist in the same territory might be one of the solutions to the current problem.
1. Literature review of Urban commons/ Ambiguity.
2. Online investigation
3. Fieldwork
4. Interview
A transition space between public and private areas is suggested. Providing users with some flexibility and allowing them to determine how to use the building rather than regulating every moment might be one of the ways to allow private and public aspects to coexist in the same space. And this kind of blurring of the limitation of the public and the private way I call "Ambiguity".
