As co-curator of The Garden of Privatised Delights, Madeleine co-edited this accompanying publication, developed as a practical manual rather than a traditional exhibition catalogue. Published alongside the British Pavilion at the 17th Venice Architecture Biennale, it brings together essays, conversations and practical guidance on privatised public space, extending the exhibition's research through contributions from architects, planners, policymakers, developers and community groups. Through practical tools and case studies, the publication encourages communities to rethink and reclaim public space.
