... is to use our specific position between art and science to explore various aspects of the urban squares. our intention is to have artistic freedom and perceive things unseen otherwise. this site was created in 2001 to store and expose our collection of squares to the public. each square is accompanied by the mental reaction – psychogeographical description – of the space.

START YOUR TOUR HERE or select first square from the list on the right.

in 2006 we started performing more structured analysis of urban space – psychogeographical performances, and produce “psychogeographical portraits” of these neighbourhoods. psychogeography is the most effective analytical technique in the arsenal of weapons of revitalization oriented urban planners. renewal of basic human needs in urban conglomeration of the future should definitely start form the pedestrian perspective and participation of the citizens. REDISCOVER - RENEW - REUSE are actions we are trying to incorporate in all our research. we started one new segment of our exploration in january 2010: psychographs.

classification system consisting of evaluation method and types of urban squares is developed in order to help collecting experiences in this initiative. other important part of this project are activities related to urban issues and psychogeography, urbansquares art projects and related documentation.

we are photographing all of the squares on our numerous trips. if you want to contribute a square to our collection send us a 680x340px quicktime.mov file, up to 500 kb. if the photos meet our criteria (aesthetic and technical) they will be included and you will be mentioned as an author.
