Artworks for Public Space

Artworks for Public Space offers a range of views concerning art in the urban realm. An international group of curators, critics and artists as well as the three winners of the Architectural Prize Haarlemmermeer 2008 reflect on whether artworks add an extra dimension to the public space. The publication wants to inspire architects, designers and policy makers to think about the role of art in our urban environment.
