Funded Activity Summary

Porosity: The revision of public space in the city using public art to test the civic boundaries of built form. This research aims to test the functional boundaries currently ascribed to the physical dimensions of public space, using a selected precinct of Sydney as a paradigm case. Using public art as a measure, this study aims to produce the first comprehensive indexical map of civic functions within the internal and external spaces of a city. Public art is historically well suited to the task of interrogating the civic extension of architecture, uniquely because of its symbiotic yet marginal relationship with built form. The resulting index will provide a tool for the re-conception of public engagement in architectural design.
