The comfort and feeling of public spaces determine how we as citizens use them and make them ours. Showing off its new attire, Olot's Sant Miquel Square takes on a domestic hue, leading people to view it as a community space for the neighbourhood. At a minimal cost, the foundations were laid to make it the centre of social life once again, an inclusive area where all the neighbours meet up to chat and socialise and can feel at home.  Roger Serrat-Calvó Roger Serrat-Calvó By applying layers of paint selectively, the work clearly comprehends and then enhances the spatial quality, geometry and construction systems of the square’s architecture. Crowning touches, patterns and carpets imbue the concrete-block w... More

 Plaza San Pedro, in Villaverde del Río, is located outside the southern edge of the historic center and is crossed by one of the pedestrian arteries that articulate the urban fabric, Avenida de Santa Teresa. It joins two important areas: the historic center and the San Sebastián neighbourhood, the first major expansion of Villaverde del Río during the 20th century. This site offers unbeatable potential as a meeting point for citizens. Manolo Espaliú The previous configuration of the square, its architectural barriers and the existing building, made it difficult to use, leaving it underused, residual and, ultimately, lifeless. Due to the mutations of the urban plot, the municipal food market, a buildin... More

The historic Jantzen Beach Carousel has delighted Oregon and Washington residents and visitors for over 90 years, and has been synonymous with family fun and childhood joy since its installation as an attraction at the Jantzen Beach Amusement Park in 1928. Despite widespread adoration, the carousel provided its last ride on April 22, 2012. It was then disassembled and placed in storage, with no concrete plans for returning it to the public. Restore Oregon—a non-profit that advocates for sound preservation policy and legislation as well as to preserve, reuse and pass forward the historic places that create livable communities—added the carousel to its list of Oregon’s Most Endangered Places shortly thereafter, where it remains listed to this...
