The architecture magazine A+T publishes in one volume its 4 issues In Common revised and extended with new projects.
The successive industrial crises, which shook up the developed world beginning in the 1970s, hid an unexpected reward for cities. This reward consisted of huge quantities of freed up emptied territories of opportunity in the centre of the old metropolis, vacant lots in clogged urban centres. The contrast between this unexpected source of usable urban soil and the increasing lack of space has become a temptation that many cities must face, ensuing into more or les fortunate results for what is public. On one side the private interests of global corporations, somewhat unfounded collective fears and acquired privileges bid. On the other side, the rights of citizens, in fairly bad shape, resist. Public domain, a physical and social state where people are equal, is at stake.

THE PUBLIC CHANCE is a visual analysis of 30 urban landscapes of opportunity.

The projects selected are grouped according to scene of origin:
  • Industrial areas
  • Peripheral voids
  • Infrastructures
  • Waterfronts
Each project is located:
  • within surroundings of 60 km2 at a scale of 1:20,000
  • within surroundings of 3.5 km2 at a scale of 1:10,000.
Each intervention undergoes a layer analysis:
  • water
  • vegetation
  • buildings
  • routes
  • rooms
  • activities
The 20 most used strategies arise from the comparison of all the projects.

THE PUBLIC CHANCE is the first book published by a+t ediciones in the In common series, which came about in 2005 in the pages of a+t magazine to express our concern for the good use and design of common spaces and was developed over two years, in four issues.

THE PUBLIC CHANCE offers a renewed vision of some of those projects and a third of new interventions, all of them under thematic analysis, characteristic of a+t’s publications.
