IS Public Lecture: Simeon King

Public & Private - Printing & Sorting
Simeon King's lecture primarily explored the idea of the public domain. He talked about finding scale in the city and how miniscule the human self is compared to larger picture.
His believes that as a person travels through the city, mapping and sorting information  becomes something that we are not consciously aware of and that we, as humans are constantly looking and deciphering the information we take in around us.
As a spatial designer, this idea is important as the space we build for the greater community can very well become a part of the public domain and the spatial qualities we create should always relate to how we want others to interact. Only when this is achieved, can we achieve a sense of urban vitality.
