Retail Solutions for Melbourne

The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces
This is a great little clip from a longer piece from back in the 70’s that looks into they way the design of public spaces affects the way that people use them. It is only a small piece (about 10 minutes) of the whole, but there are some great snippets of insight contained in there.

That would be kind of unremarkable just on its own, but the piece is put together using 250,000 1 Euro coins.
