Spotted on Instagram: 8 Superb Public Spaces

Interior Design hosts a weekly photo contest on Instagram called #idpicks. Each Wednesday, we announce a new theme and ask our followers to tag their images with our hashtag. Here, we share the submissions that caught our eye. Make sure to check our Instagram account, @interiordesignmag, for the next topic and a chance to be featured!

This week, we asked to see images of public space—whether Modernist playgrounds, public plazas, or sculpture gardens.
 

For this week’s #idpicks contest, we’re asking you to submit your best images of public space! Whether modernist playgrounds, public plazas, or sculpture gardens, tag your images with #idpicks and our editors will repost their favorites on Instagram and InteriorDesign.net next week.
