Berkman Luncheon Series: "Public Spaces/Public Spheres"

Yesterday took place the Conference "Public Spaces/ Public Spheres " in the Berkman Center, Harvard Law School by Martin Zogran, who is Assistant Professor of Urban Design in the Harvard University Graduate School of Design and spoke to the Berkman Community about the history of the commons and public space (primarily in the context of the urban environment). Before joining the GSD faculty full-time in 2004, Zogran was an urban designer and architect with the Cambridge firm Chan Krieger & Associates, and a design critic at the GSD, teaching in the urban design core studio and offering seminars in urban theory. At Chan Krieger he managed urban design and planning projects for the cities of Louisville, Washington DC, Davenport, and New York, working on long-term development plans, streetscapes, and public space design.

To get a better sense of Zogran's work, please check out Zogran's H2O playlist. Harvard Law School's Berkman Center for Internet & Society has developed H2O playlists -- a new tool for finding academic content through people you trust. In music, the playlist lets everyone share their expertise with friends and networks online. At the Berkman Center, we are extending this communal mapping of music to the world of information and educational resources.
