THE URBAN SCULPTURE PROJECT:
Humanizing and Personalizing Urban Environment
Bringing Sculptures into Public Spaces
-
Core Belief:
-
Sculptures should inhabit streets, public spaces, parks, and squares—areas frequently used by the public.
-
-
Addressing Urban Impersonality:
-
Modern cities are increasingly impersonal, dominated by uniform brands and shops.
-
This creates a monotonous urban landscape, making streets less engaging.
-
-
Pedestrian Zones Falling Short:
-
While cities improve accessibility by removing cars from old town areas, these spaces often lack character and warmth.
-
-
Humanizing Urban Spaces:
-
Sculptures serve as approachable landmarks that foster warmth and community.
-
Designed without barriers or pedestals, they invite interaction, making art feel close and relatable.
-
-
Companions in City Life:
-
Often depicting human figures, sculptures provide a comforting presence in public spaces.
-
They offer a sense of companionship, ensuring city life feels less isolated.
-
-
Cultural Importance:
-
While damage during unrest is possible, the project takes a positive view, believing public art can inspire thought and reaction.
-
Urban sculptures play a vital role in promoting cultural identity and presence.
-
-
Promoting Cultural Identity:
-
Culture must be persistently reflected and enriched in cities.
-
Sculptures make urban spaces more vibrant, engaging, and human-centered.
-
The Project strives to embed these cultural touchstones into the fabric of urban life, making cities more vibrant, engaging, and human-centered.
