  • The Paradox of Public Discourse: Designing Vancouver Library Square
    Linda Lewin Graif The Paradox of Public Discourse: Designing Vancouver Library Square rchitecture is a discipline that operates in a complex public A arena. While architecture may be defined as the art and sci­ ence of conceptualizing the built environment, the journey from the drawing board to the constructed artifact is a perilous one. The architect's initial concept, itself subject to constraints of many kinds, must be negotiated with clients, engineers, contractors, financial partners, special interest groups, and the general pub­ lic. Architecture, particularly public architecture, is inherently non-hermetic and, as such, is open to challenge and debate. Of all Moshe Safdie' s Can a dian "Libraries have always projects, Vancouver represented the cultural Library Sguare pro­ heritage of a society. duced one of the most As such, they must exhau,stive and com­ transcend the commercial preh ensive discu s­ architecture of our time." sions about the role of Moshe Safdie architecture in public 'life.

Some of these apps are lightweight and temporary, while others are diffuse and aggressive. Some of tracing services are developed locally by small interested programmers, while others are large-scale international operations. To date, we have recognized more than 25 large automated contact tracing efforts around the globe, included with details about what they were, how they worked, and the procedures and conditions that were put in place around them. This paper will deal with general data of the most prominent applications in terms of technical approaches used in the world and compare them with regard to the efficiency of tracking covid-19 and compare them with concerning of the people’s privacy who use these apps.
