We would like to invite you to participate in the reading group:
Street Space - Redefining the analysis of streets as public spaces
for their critical transformation
Streets are key elements of urban space; they are in essence
public spaces and connect diverse areas of the city, weaving the urban fabric.
How do we analyse street space? How do we communicate this analysis? Can we use
a language that different disciplines will understand? How can we use these
methods to change/improve street spaces?
This reading group will explore different approaches to the
analysis of streets as public spaces. We invite students, academics and
professionals of architecture, planning, anthropology, sociology, history,
psychology, film, media, arts and any other discipline interested in the
analysis of public space.
The reading group will take place in 15 Chlorine Gardens. The next
three meetings will be on October 7, November 4 and December 2.
If you are interested in participating, please send an email to A.Martire@qub.ac.uk

Mapping North Street Workshop
Mapping North Street Workshop Belfast
https://www.facebook.com/events/894583340612819/
You are invited to the workshop: ‘Mapping North Street: an interdisciplinary workshop about the character of the street’, which will take place in the Old Museum Building in Belfast on August 27 and 28.
Streets are key elements of urban space; they are in essence public spaces and connect diverse areas of the city, weaving the urban fabric. Our understanding of cities has grown in complexity in the last half century. How do we analyse street space? How do we communicate this analysis? Can we use a language that different disciplines will understand? How can we use these methods to change/improve street spaces?
This workshop will explore different approaches to the analysis of streets as public spaces. We invite students, academics and professionals of architecture, planning, anthropology, sociology, history, psychology, film, media, arts and any other discipline interested in the analysis of public space.
We will develop a series of layers of analysis including but not limited to: mapping, drawings, diagrams, photographs, interviews, archive work, soundscapes and more.
We are not looking for a universal solution to the use, design and management of streets, but a culturally specific array of possibilities that our streets could potentially have. North Street is an ideal case study to consider, for it is in the core of the city, it connects very different areas, and above all it is loaded with meaning and potential.
Join us for two days of exploration!
