Accompanying booklet with title: Public phenomena : informal modifications of shared spaces. Booklet with 24 unnumbered pages contains images only.

"This book, [pt. 1] is the result of over ten years of photographic documentation and research on the variety of modifications and inventions that people make in public. From roadside memorials to makeshift barriers, people consistently alter shared common spaces to suit their needs, or let both man-made and natural aberrations run wild. The result is a new kind of public space - with creative and inspiring moments that push past the original planned design of cities."--P. [4] of cover.
