Daftar Isi:
- The dissertation presents the outputs of a research carried out during the second semester of 2014 and the first semester of 2015 at Vasconcelos Public Library, located in Buenavista, a neighborhood in Mexico City. The public library is used as a methodological strategy of public space or equipment observation. An ethnographic approach is primarily used, as well as a combination of methods in the several descriptive stages of the space, and for the registry of usage, practices and experiences of the library by users and visitors. The first chapter presents a general overview of the library using the information gathered in a survey applied to users and visitors (BV-CNCA, 2014). Following, a description of the spaces and activities carried out by users is presented in an ethnographic narration. Finally, everyday experiences of users and visitors are presented. The research shows how the conceptions and values around the library’s materiality (features, place configuration or layout, location) and immateriality (conceptions, imaginaries, experiences) influence the way of using and thinking about this equipment. The study concludes that this public architecture spatializes experiences that give a new meaning to the public library as an equipment of urban life, both indoor and outdoor, expanding its present and future history as a public space.
