Camille Sitte in ‘Limitations of Modern City Planning’after asking “What value does an open plaza have as a perspective space when it is congested with foliage?”

…then goes on to make the helpful observation “It is quite astonishing how many delightful small gardens are to be found in the interior of the building lots of old towns; one has no suspicion of their existence before entering the courtyards and rear areas.” (see above)

Does it have road or pedestrian access? Perhaps they could create an outdoor garden room in the space and use it as a wine bar? After all it is close to transport…

Perhaps this might be a temporary occupation of the space as most spaces of this sort are usually being landbanked for future development?
