In the context of increasing urban densification, open spaces, which are becoming increasingly scarce, play a central role in identity formation, social functionality, atmosphere, and ecological connectivity. It is only through the interplay of ecology and design that sustainable places for the future can emerge.

Today’s open spaces must be designed for a better world tomorrow, in which people and nature coexist harmoniously. The goal of open-space design is to achieve a positive balance between permeable green spaces and functional hard surfaces.
