Join hosts Saxon Sigerson, AIA, Arturo Levenfeld, AIA and Kris Barkley, AIA for a casual evening of design presentations and discussion centered around three examples of negative space: The Piazza San Marco in Venice; the open plaza at the Salk Institute; and Pershing Square in Los Angeles.
This topic is relevant as the City of Sacramento will soon be issuing an open design competition for recreating Capitol Mall. As the mall is the most prominent “negative” space in Sacramento it is important to achieve success with whatever solution is finally implemented.
The evening’s emphasis will be an open forum discussion of design as it relates to solutions for disparate negative spaces. What does it take to activate an open space and is design a critical element? Do any of the presented spaces offer any insight or act as examples of what not to do?
