"Representations of space are the dominant space in any society."
— Henri Lefebvre, The Production of Space, 1974
Before the architect arrives at a site, the drawing has already been there — deciding what counts as a site, what counts as a problem, what gets to exist.
What follows are nine moments where that decision left a mark.
Nine operations · Nine instruments · Nine territories
How You Can Help
You don't need to be an architect.
If you know a territory where a drawing made a decision — contribute.
01
Find the site on the map. Each dot is a place where a drawing performed an operation on territory.
02
Read the case. What the drawing claimed. What the territory was. What it could not hold.
03
Add your testimony. A memory, a route, a name, a fact. Any form of knowledge the drawing missed.
Every contribution becomes part of the counter-survey.
The accumulation of testimony is the revision.
