Urbis is an exhibition centre focussing on city life located just a couple of minutes walk from Exchange Square. The entrance to the iconic building is a public space designed by Martha Schwartz. The undulating topography of the grassed area with the water channels and seating incorporated into the design made me think about how I might solve problems within my own design work. This was a really well used and lively space, particularly popular with skateboarders who were using the hard edges as ramps to do tricks. It was interesting to see people using the space in a way that was not planned, as often seems the case.
