Abstract

The street is a complex socio-physical network that reveals various layers of life in a city: its historical setting, planning, political and economic situation, and cultural mentality. Studying such complexities of social life is important in order to understand the constantly changing identity of space. In the face of globalization, cities are being transformed into similar prototypes of each other and architecture has experienced placeness and loss of identity. Analysis of the context is relevant for the “localization” of new design interventions and it could help to avoid universal design solutions.
