Abstract Details

2005, MCP, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Community Planning.
Public plazas play a major role in the everyday lives of its users and serve as the settings for public life as ‘event landscapes’. Outdoor dining plays an important role in enhancing the quality of public spaces and urban life: by design and by people. The redesign of Fountain Square by the non-profit Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation seems an appropriate time to evaluate the potential of Fountain Square as an ideal location for outdoor cafes and restaurants using the form, meaning and use of Fountain Square, Cincinnati. The thesis analyses how people experience space in a plaza based on the criteria obtained from literature essential to understand the relation between the physical design of public plaza and outdoor cafes and restaurants, and how these criteria relate to each other to create a physical whole, and how they relate to us as users to form an ‘experience’.
