“Set the Stage: Embrace Opportunities to Design Dynamic Public Spaces for Connected Communities” — Context Magazine

Principal Scott Archer’s article was featured in AIA Philadelphia’s Context Magazine this summer. His article, “Set the Stage: Embrace Opportunities to Design Dynamic Public Spaces for Connected Communities” explores the role of public spaces in today’s society.

“Democracy is not expressed only through formal civic institutions but through everyday encounters in shared public spaces. Landscapes, plazas, gardens and civic corridors operate as cultural infrastructure — shaping belonging, access and collective identity. By expanding the definition of democratic space beyond political symbolism, architects and urban designers can better understand their role in fostering civic life.”
