Architects have a responsibility towards public space, but are not the ones who produce the latter all by themselves. Public space is constantly produced by diverging interests of many actors. Architects, so it is said, want to do good and advocate public interest. But what is the interest of the public? Since there is no such thing as one interest and one public. Hence, an architect must be critical, i.e. must make choices, while at the same time remaining critical about his/her own choices. The lecture will address certainties and insecurities, successes as well as remaining dilemmas from within three public projects of different scales: from a courtyard to an urban riverbench area.
