The Studio for Public Spaces utilizes our in-house visitor and research evaluation department whenever possible for site evaluation as well as front-end, formative, and summative evaluation. We also chronicle our ongoing works through in-house publications, blogs, and public presentations in the hope that we might inform cross-disciplinary fields working together to create more vibrant, participatory public spaces.
