Text Quotes
NASA was going to pick a public school teacher to go into space, observe and make a journal about the space flight, and I am a teacher who always dreamed of going up into space.  (Public Space Quotes) I believe in the city as a natural human environment, but we must humanize it. It’s art that will re-define public space in the 21st Century. We can make our cities diverse, inspirational places by putting art, dance and performance in all its forms into the matrix of street life  (Public Space Quotes) Religious symbols should be visible in public space, in a dignified and non-provocative manner. Christmas trees here, Jewish menorahs there and, further along, a minaret - these symbols represent human life in all its diversity  (Public Space Quotes) Most of us still haven’t grasped the fact that everything we commit to the digital space - not just our public blogs and broadcast tweets, but every private text message, email, and voicemail is likely to be stored and accessible. Forever  (Public Space Quotes) Brandalism Any advertisement in public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It belongs to you. It’s yours to take, rearrange and re-use. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head  (Public Space Quotes) There’s a legal term for a problem in public space: something that might draw people to an area-say, across train tracks-where they might be caused harm. It’s called a ‘public nuisance.’ I wouldn’t mind being called that for my life’s work  (Public Space Quotes) I believe that the idea of the totality, the finality of the master-plan, is misguided. One should advocate a gradual transformation of public space, a metamorphic process, without relying on a hypothetical time in the future when everything will be perfect. The mistake of planners and architects is to believe that fifty years from now Alexanderplatz will be perfected. -p.197  (Public Space Quotes) The fight for free space-for wilderness and for public space-must be accompanied by a fight for free time to spend wandering in that space. Otherwise the individual imagination will be bulldozed over for the chain-store outlets of consumer appetite, true-crime titillations, and celebrity crises  (Public Space Quotes) Community is not something you have, like pizza. Now is it something you can buy. It’s a living organism based on a web of interdependencies- which is to say, a local economy. It expresses itself physically as connectedness, as buildings actively relating to each other, and to whatever public space exists, be it the street, or the courthouse or the village green  (Public Space Quotes) All but universally, human architecture values front elevations over back entrances, public spaces over private. Danny Jessup says that this aspect of architecture is also a reflection of human nature, that most people care more about their appearance than they do about their souls  (Public Space Quotes) As I started to pursue the subject more deeply I realized that walking was this wonderful meandering path through everything I was already interested in - gender politics, public space and urban life, demonstrations and parades and marches. The relationship between walking and thinking and between the mind and the body  (Public Space Quotes) The importance of pedestrian public spaces cannot be measured, but most other important things in life cannot be measured either: Friendship, beauty, love and loyalty are examples. Parks and other pedestrian places are essential to a city’s happiness  (Public Space Quotes) Interfacing street sculpture in public space creates an installation environment that turns regular space into art space. Signs and people and everything around a street sculpture-they all become part of it. A two-dimensional work, being confined to surfaces, doesn’t have as much of a capacity  (Public Space Quotes) From the Berlin tenement reform law of 1897 to H. P. Berlage’s plan for Amsterdam South of 1917, designers and theorists in Germany and Holland moved toward the development of a perimeter residential block that would preserve the plastic continuity of the street while opening up the resultant courtyard for use as an enclosed semi-public space  (Public Space Quotes) Every public space is like a billboard, with messages from the collective subconscious of the nation. There one can read passivity, rage indifference, fear, double standards, subversion, bad economy, a twisted definition of ‘public’ itself, the whole Weltanschauung - an entire range of emotions and attitudes is exposed.  (Public Space Quotes) My generation is so used to having our public spaces look like the Starbucks, with the beautiful lighting and the little bit of Nina Simone and my coffee that’s blended a certain way from Costa Rica.  (Public Space Quotes) Speech within the kingdom of Amazonia - run by its sovereign Jeff Bezos and his board of directors with help from the wise counsel and judgment of the company’s executives - is not protected in the same way that speech is constitutionally protected in America’s public spaces.  (Public Space Quotes) Public space is for living, doing business, kissing, and playing. Its value can’t be measured with economics or mathematics; it must be felt with the soul.  (Public Space Quotes) Our public spaces are as profound as we allow them to be  (Public Space Quotes) Architecture is about public space held by buildings  (Public Space Quotes) I want to encourage public interest in space. I have never let my condition stop me. You only live once  (Public Space Quotes) If you work in a public space, you have to be aware that no one is buying a ticket  (Public Space Quotes) All architecture has a public nature, I believe, so I would like to make a public space  (Public Space Quotes) I believe that public space should be intentional: it should be obvious that you belong  (Public Space Quotes) All space must be attached to a value, to a public dimension. There is no private space. The only private space that you can imagine is the human mind  (Public Space Quotes) Scary in the idea it could be a little overwhelming to have 70 or 100 clowns in a public space. Intriguing in that it could be something interesting. I’m up for any kind of public art  (Public Space Quotes) We talk about politicians being in public life, but they seldom appear in the public space where everyone is free to appear as a citizen  (Public Space Quotes) Without a shadow of doubt, Trafalgar Square has to be one of the most crap urban public spaces in the world  (Public Space Quotes) You can read a lot about a country by looking at its beaches: across cultures, the beach is that rare public space in which all absurdities and quirky national behaviors can be found  (Public Space Quotes) Urban public space is a stage for viewing the field of graphic design in its diversity. A mix of voices, from advertising to activism, compete for visibility  (Public Space Quotes)
