Abstract

ART and PUBLIC SPACE can be symbolized as inseparable as melody and song. Missing either would lead to a mundane and unexciting experience to users. The dearth of art in public spaces maybe traced to the fear of art which pre-program in certain professional’s mind. This aligned with Howett (1985) statement that the positioning of human ingenuity may endanger the earth unique equilibrium. Nowadays, through various studies and high awareness of art, the ideas of how to respond to the land and to fulfill the human needs has progressively developed the idea of no fear in binding the art in the public spaces especially in parks and landscape areas. This article describes art in public spaces and their effects on the community they are located in.
