In this Sunday sketch, Krier explores how public and private spaces support each other.
This sketch by Léon Krier identifies the ideal urban space as a product of the marriage between public and private realms. Krier invites us to ponder how walkable streets lined with shops and housing support the public monuments that draw residents into shared spaces.
Lessons from Léon: Krier on North Carolina is our series honoring Léon Krier (1946–2025), applying his human-scale sketches to the future of the Triangle.
