Ambiances theory for architectural design address the theme trough the discussion between the infinite atmospheres and the last concerns on the happiness business. The paper shows that creating atmosphere in public spaces can facilitate the design of places with sensible qualities and the improvement of the humans' living conditions, beyond the «narcissistic» production of sterile and stereotypical architectural objects with no social background.

If the ambiance is an overall and diffused feeling then it needs a random event in order to awaken the perception of its quality. Based on the analysis of 25 different projects of public spaces built recently in Europe (France, Greece, Sweden and Spain), the paper shows that the creation of ambiances in architecture depends on the dialectical relation between the back-plan and the unfolding events, which oscillates between conflict, negotiation and sympathy.

Les styles de vie dans un pays du sud creent-ils le besoin d'une communication sociale malgre le bruit ? Sous quelle forme se developpe ce type de communication ? L'etude de Volos nous a permis de definir le bruit comme identite socile des espaces publics urbains en Grece. Les figures communicationnelles degagees dans ce travail montrent les differents comportements verbaux sonores et corporels que les usagers d'un espace sonore bruyant mettent en oeuvre pour assurer le contact social. Pour limiter le bruit sans transformer l'identite sociale de ces espaces, il faut s'appuyer sur les morphologies urbaines. Elles determinent le caractere "hospitalier" ou non d'un lieu pour la communication.

For creators, what are the new challenges for the design of the atmospheres of these new forms of public space? This article aims to bring together the urban practices identified by the Encore Heureux collective with a praxeological thought of the design of atmospheres. Infinites places trough ambiance are analyzed in their potentials to create infinite conflicts, infinite negotiations and infinite sympathies between the back plan and the emerging events.

This paper shows that creating an ambiance is to design a dialectic relationship between the architectural elements that might constitute the back‐plan and the ones that assure the potential emergence of the events, expressing thereby several levels of transparency as the transparency of senses and the transparency of practices. Based on the analysis of the research corpus of 25 projects of public spaces, mainly from Greece and France and also from other European countries such as Sweden and Spain, emerge several types of ambiance that cross projects, countries and cultures: the actual ambiance that exists due to the climatic, geographic, architectural and social conditions of the place and those that are not even there but they are waiting to be activated (virtual) by the individual perception and sensibility of users. These ambiances can become more identifiable and collective by the repetit...
