is a narrative project exploring the waning connection between people and social spaces, turning vibrant places into isolated spaces. Rooted in Situationist psychogeography, the study of how places influence human emotions and behaviors, this notebook-style work documents both collective and personal psychogeographical practices. It serves as a tool to understand and reshape urban life, leading readers from solitary experiences to societal engagement, bridging the physical and the virtual.

I want readers to feel as if they are walking through a space as they read this book. The design unfolds with immediacy, presenting chapter titles directly to the reader and eliminating the traditional table of contents. This approach encourages non-linear exploration, much like navigating a city’s diverse districts, where each intersection opens up multiple pathways.
Just like how buildings of different shapes divide a city into distinct spaces, the design of this book creates its own sense of structure. Each rubber band acts as a marker, guiding the reader through chapters that shift in page size and paper texture, mirroring the variety of the content inside.
INTERIOR SPREADSThe narrative reimagines the book as a dynamic space: titles as landmarks, letters as paths, readers as active participants, reading as practice, and perception as an emotional response. It transforms the act of reading into an experiential journey, inviting readers to engage with the content as they would with an unfamiliar urban landscape.
