Javier Lloret - outline for text

From XPUB & Lens-Based wiki

I am interested in discussing some essays, theories and books related with the intersection of playfulness and public space and explore the relation between them and my Rubik's Facade project.

Some topics that will be covered in my essay:

  • Situationists International
  • Henri Lefebvre’s theories about space
  • Aldo van Eyck’s playgrounds
  • The transformation of public space
  • Urban interventions
  • Hybrid space
  • Pervasive games
