Today both physical and digital public space serve as a vital interface for civic engagement and public participation, yet there is much content that often only remains significant on the internet. This thesis seeks to both strengthen the significance of our online public interactions and enliven the urban public realm by translating digital cultures into the urban environment, giving content the ability to flow between both worlds. This hypothesis will be tested through the redesign of Pershing Square in Downtown, Los Angeles, CA. en PUBLIC SPACE \\ THE INTERNET: Public Embodiment of Digital Cultures Thesis Architecture Design Urban planning Culture Design Internet Los Angeles Public Space Urban open.access
