dc.description.abstract |
The scope of this essay is to provide a brief overview of the history and legacy
of the book Life between buildings: Using Public Space written by Jan Gehl, Danish
architect and urban consultant, renowned for his pioneering work towards
the promotion of human-centered urban design. The paper starts with explaining
the concept of the Human Scale in urbanism studies, both as a means to
view the city focusing on what is happening at ground level and as a design
priority. It continues with the story of the making of the book, back in 1971, and
the impact it has had in establishing the human-centered approach in urban design
as a rising trend, especially in the last two decades. The essay concludes
with the three major lessons that we can extract from the book: (1) knowledge
about human senses; (2) learning from observing; and (3) putting people first. |
