Borio's focus is on the interstitial spaces of the built environment, the back and in-between alleys, as well as the sidewalks that are in constant flux and move between the poles of inside-outside, public-private, or legal-illegal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This lavishly and attractively designed book offers a survey of the lessons Borio has learned from analyzing urban typologies in Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Seoul, and from engaging with residents and their informal appropriation of such semi-private urban spaces. The concrete design principles that Borio has derived from her fieldwork assist researchers and urban designers in their own investigations and in translating their findings into new projects for the further development of urban and metropolitan spaces. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e G駻aldine Borio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3038602973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783038602972\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Park Publishing (WI)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.79h x 9.29w x 1.26d","brand":"G駻aldine Borio","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44450112962815,"sku":"9783038602972","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3d7ef098-2b4b-4536-9080-91d2570cefdc.jpg?v=1698502844","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/looking-for-the-voids-graldine-borio-9783038602972","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
