Open Space Types - Civic Plaza




Civic Plaza

Civic buildings are often no larger than the private ones that surround them,
and their legibility as more important buildings cannot depend solely on architectural expression. Their setting within the block system must communicate their elevated status. Sites on squares or at the terminations of avenues are ideal but not always available. Thus the most dependable technique is to organize and detail the parking areas of civic buildings as plazas.
