“…Further, this interaction between bodies exposes the characteristic plasticity of social machines and social forms such as publicness, where ‘crystalized moments’ and moments of stability within a ‘wider rhizomatic process’ (Daskalaki and Mould, : 15) always carry a capacity to break with the taken‐for‐granted. This plastic ability to produce other realities reflects Sendra’s (: 833) arguments for the inclusion of ‘unbound points’ within urban public spaces where improvisation and creativity are possible. Here, public spaces are imagined as ‘unfinished’ ( ibid ., 831) and adaptable, ready to be manipulated and recalibrated through further machinic operations.…”

“…First, the installation and removal of the pavilion provided an opportunity to learn from experience and improve the Bearpit. Indeed, installation of the pavilion was always a process of inquiry into how the space might be ‘otherwise’ (Sendra, : 832). Of course, the precise impact of the pavilion on sociality and publicness could not be predicted.…”

This article discusses the concept of publicness through the lens of Deleuze and Guattari’s machinic thinking. Centring on the case of the Bearpit, a roundabout and public space in the city of Bristol (UK), I examine recent shifts and transformations in public culture and narrate the ways in which relatively small interventions facilitate new connections and organize public assemblages. The article makes four main contributions. First, it develops an approach to the study of publicness that highlights the interactions of machinic assemblages of material and immaterial component parts. Second, it suggests that specific forms of publicness are mediated by bright objects which stitch together and organize ecologies of connected machines. Third, it outlines publicness as a dynamic, plastic social form. Finally, it argues that the struggles for a compassionate public culture in the Bearpit are not necessarily set on a fixed trajectory toward co‐optation or a return to revanchism, but rather are part of an incessant process of unfolding and becoming public where the concerns and contestations of publicness are made visible.

“…Within different scopes, both call for an acknowledgment of the unpredictable connections between seemingly-separate sections of cities or processes in the world. Nowadays, the ideas of autonomy (Aureli 2008), participatory urban design (Sendra 2015) and urban assemblage (Dovey 2010) are examples of such thinking in which, instead of top-down structured procedures, bottom-up movements enable people to participate in the creation of good public spaces and cities.…”

This paper explores possible ways in which urban design can engage with critical thinking and critical theory. After a brief explanation of the terms, with particular attention to the Frankfurt School of thought, it provides various answers to the question as to whether urban design is critical or not. One categorisation applied to planning critical theory is then used to explain the potential for employing critical theories in urban design. Critical thinking skills are then argued to be helpful for enriching the literature of urban design in order to achieve better practice. The conclusion is that urban design can benefit from critical creativity, that is an embodiment of critical thinking within the limits imposed onto creativity. In this paper, the ways in which urban design can engage with both critical theory and with critical thinking are explored in order to achieve better critical creativity in the field.

“…Son dönemlerde yapılan çalışmalar yeşil alanların, parkların ve diğer ortak kullanım alanlarının kolektif kültüre, siyasal tartışmaların zemini haline gelişine, vatandaşlık kültürüne yönelik etkilerini daha kapsamlı olarak analiz etmektedir. Farklı çalışmalarda konunun siyaset bilimi-antropoloji-sosyoloji-kent çalışmaları gibi disiplinler arası bir nitelik aldığı ortaya konmaktadır (Sendra, 2015;Rutland, 2013;Amin, 2008;Low vd., 2005). Bu alanın en önemli isimlerinden David Harvey, sosyal adalet arayışının şehir hakkı üzerinden nasıl şekillendiğini, konunun ekonomi-politik boyutunu öne çıkararak araştırır.…”

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Niğde'deki açık alanların siyasal ve sosyal etkinliklerde nasıl kullanıldığına dair tespitlerde bulunmaktır. Şehir hakkı, bireylerin yaşadığı kentlerin sosyal, ekonomik ve siyasi kaynaklarına erişimlerinin ötesinde bunları değiştirme ve beraberinde şehri geliştirme haklarını kapsar. Lefebvre'den bu yana bu kavram farklı siyasal ve kentsel yaklaşımlar etrafında geliştirilmiştir. Kentin herkesin kullanımına açık alanları, genel refahı sağlamak ve sorunlara çözüm üretmek için faaliyette bulunan yapıların etkinliklerini gerçekleştirdiği yerlerdir. Ancak bu etkinliklerin niteliği farklı unsurlardan etkilenir. Mekanın siyasal kullanımı, siyasetten ne anlaşıldığı ile yakından ilgilidir. Yapılan uygulama, anket ve ikili görüşme sonuçlarına yansıdığı gibi Niğde'de özelinde dönüştürücü ve geliştirici bir şehir hakkı kullanımı görülmemektedir.
