Our project Public Bath is part of a new book “Europe City: Lessons from the European Prize for Urban Public Space”, which compiles the lessons learnt from first eight awards of the European Prize for Urban Public Space (2000-2014). The aim of the book, prologue by the architecture historian Kenneth Frampton and with epilogue by the Polish sociologist Zygmund Bauman is to offer a multifaceted platform of ideas about European public space and its social, cultural and economic significance. “Europe City” brings together more than fifty of the interventions presented for the Prize grouping them into seven main themes that articulate the prolific construction of public spaces across Europe - Memory, Mobility, Mixture, Margins, Waterfronts, Marketplaces and Democracy - and which are presented by authors and thinkers from different disciplines. The second part of the book consists of an essay on recent history of European public space and four reflections by professionals living and working outside of Europe.
