Small Spaces
The type of open spaces in Corvallis isn't limited to just parks or street enclosures. While walking down the sidewalk, you are very likely to zip by a small and sudden enclosure that provides a great deal of quiet and calm. These include spaces like cafes, restaurant, and bars. Here students, shoppers, and business people can escape from their fast-paced world and take a moment to relax. These spaces are so special not only because of their intimate scale, but also because they are highly variable. They not only seperate a person from the street at a comfortable distance, but they are also the bridge between the shops and the street.
This is a section of the nook in front of this store. |
