Abstract
"Place" stands as one of the most fundamental categories of thought and existence, far surpassing the mere location and spatial volume of events, memories and future projections. In the field of architecture - in cites, in landscapes, in dwelling settings - "place" has come to denote a specific set of qualities, not always and not easily acquired, especially with the advent of abstract concept of "space" forwarded and favoured by Modernism. "Place", with all its multidimensional aspects and many generative forces is not easy to intentionally arrive at through design. This paper explores and proposes an initial typology of potential "places" among open public spaces of Banja Luka, aiming to systematize the most prevalent lines of place-building. This systematization should provide future architectural designs within these (mostly incomplete) local contexts with a framework of guidelines and notes capable of illustrating the possibilities of (ambiental) completion. Through typological criteria that speak about "modes of spatial definition", "position within city structure" and "programmatic designations" seven (out of total twelve possible) types are recognized and their respective cases individually examined.
