Somewhere between a suburban strip mall and its urban
surroundingsliesapoeticamalgamofspacebothepicanddiscrete.
Situatedwithindisparatezonesofoverlap,contradiction,ambiguity
and interstice, the ongoing New Public Sites project investigates
the ways in which invisible sites and overlooked features exist
within our everyday environment. Based on a critical approach to
understanding public space, this project proposes alternatives for
signifying and activating sites through urban analysis, mapping,
installations, video, tours and this book. Through this process of
city resignification, New Public Sites (NPS) invites a practice of
“radicalpedestrianism”.Ifapedestrianissimplyapersontraveling
by foot, a radical pedestrian is one who travels by foot through
infinite sites of freedom, both concrete and dispersed. The radical
pedestrian tests the limits of and redefines public space through
drifting direct action and insightful discourse.
Introduction
7
While there is no explicit set of conditions defining new
public sites, they generally consist of everyday public spaces
existing in one or more of three states: rendered mute by their
physical and discursive emptiness, ambiguous due to contextual
contradictions of urban design, and/or invisible from a lack of
formal architectural framing and practical readability. A NPS
analysisofthesepublicspacesrequiresarangeofrepresentational
modes:
1)	 Free maps that locate and describe sites for interested
participants.
2)	 On-location installations of tape, posters and plaques
identify the sites and or draw attention to specific details.
Introduction
	 The NPS investigation is predicated by an expansive
definition of public space. For this ongoing project, public space
is any open area accessible to most people in a given community.
In this case, accessibility describes the ability for individuals to
physically enter and actively engage with their surroundings.
Given that no public space is entirely accessible to all, this radical
approach qualifies a space’s “publicness” by asking the degree
to which anyone off the street is able and permitted to enter
and engage. This perspective on public space disregards typical
assumptions about private property, and opens the frame of
research to a wide range of places and terrains. Public space can
then encompass a variety of areas, including but not limited to:
vacant properties, parking lots, streets, highways, squares, parks,
campuses, shopping centers, waterfronts, transportation hubs,
and civic buildings. Within these differing public spaces there
exists a multitude of overlooked and under-signified places that
can collectively be understood as “new public sites”.
8
with complete sincerity. In some instances the definitions for
these lifted terms remain unchanged, while in others they are
altered, recombined or entirely rewritten. Through invented and
appropriated language, this reference book/manifesto challenges
the authority of how public space is typically represented. While
declarative and technical, these definitions also hew towards
the poetic and absurd. The linguistically playful moments of this
otherwise serious endeavor are derived from the latent beauty
and humor within many of the spaces, features and experiences
addressed.
	 Within The Typology of New Public Sites, spaces and
features are characterized by one or more “platzgeists”, and
organized into three main categories. Capturing the psychic
spirit or experiential essence of public space, the NPS platzgeists
Introduction
3)	 Performative, guided walking tours invite group
participation and enable direct feedback from individuals.
4)	 Video uploads and interactive digital maps decentralize
the distribution of information by sharing the project with
networked audiences.
5)	 Publications such as books and pamphlets provide
supplementary information in support of project sites and
operations.
As an exemplary project publication, The Typology of New Public
Sites serves as both conceptual framework for NPS maps, videos,
and tours, as well as field guide for intrepid participants.
	 The Typology of New Public Sites consists of sites,
components and qualities indexed and described through terms
and definitions both invented and appropriated. The typology
not only represents a system of classification, but also a linguistic
intervention. Drawing from the fields of architecture and urban
planning, the appropriated terms and definitions are repurposed
9
include The Urban Sublime, Sub/urban Ambiguity, Terrain
Violence and Playscape. In material and conceptual terms, the
subject(s) of investigation fall into three categories: overlooked
sites, their contributing components and the experiential qualities
therein. Sites are classified as Voids, Lost Spaces, Paths, Pauses
and Vistas. Components are described as Horizontal, Vertical,
Discrete, Symbolic, Masses and Anti-masses. Qualities are split
into Ethereal and Psychic. Supporting the three main categories
and providing a theoretical foundation for the overall NPS project
is an appendix consisting of archetypes, positions and concepts.
Complementing the project maps, videos and tours, this book
aims to expand interest in these invisible public spaces. As the
number of people paying attention to new public sites grows, so
to does the accessibility of places featured in the project.
Introduction

Introduction

The NPS project intensifies the publicness of its given
spaces while simultaneously cultivating new “publics” among
interested participants. The mere act of identifying the sites
and representing them through physical installations, dispersed
media and promoted events raises awareness of the spaces while
also making them more physically and digitally accessible.
Drawing attention to the sites and inviting group participation
creates opportunities for new and different publics to coalesce.
Here, a public is defined as the people constituting a community
of participants who produce accessible urban spaces through
their physical behavior and discursive practices. Additionally, as
participants responsively engage particular sites through media
and in situ, they then also become contributing social producers
of the given public space. Together, NPS and it’s rejoining
participants increase the degree to which many invisible sites
and overlooked urban features function as public space.
	 Between the maps, videos, tours and this book, the New
Public Sites project offers participants new ways to interpret
and activate otherwise under-represented types of public space.
Together, these various modes of representation not only describe
the spaces but also resignify their possible meanings. These
representations and actions make the invisible sites available to
a wide range of participants through multiple points of access
and interaction. Whether participating in situ, in a gallery or over
the Internet, the radical pedestrian reifies new public sites while
redefining the meaning public space.

  • 7. 6 Somewhere between a suburban strip mall and its urban surroundingsliesapoeticamalgamofspacebothepicanddiscrete. Situatedwithindisparatezonesofoverlap,contradiction,ambiguity and interstice, the ongoing New Public Sites project investigates the ways in which invisible sites and overlooked features exist within our everyday environment. Based on a critical approach to understanding public space, this project proposes alternatives for signifying and activating sites through urban analysis, mapping, installations, video, tours and this book. Through this process of city resignification, New Public Sites (NPS) invites a practice of “radicalpedestrianism”.Ifapedestrianissimplyapersontraveling by foot, a radical pedestrian is one who travels by foot through infinite sites of freedom, both concrete and dispersed. The radical pedestrian tests the limits of and redefines public space through drifting direct action and insightful discourse. Introduction
  • 8. 7 While there is no explicit set of conditions defining new public sites, they generally consist of everyday public spaces existing in one or more of three states: rendered mute by their physical and discursive emptiness, ambiguous due to contextual contradictions of urban design, and/or invisible from a lack of formal architectural framing and practical readability. A NPS analysisofthesepublicspacesrequiresarangeofrepresentational modes: 1) Free maps that locate and describe sites for interested participants. 2) On-location installations of tape, posters and plaques identify the sites and or draw attention to specific details. Introduction The NPS investigation is predicated by an expansive definition of public space. For this ongoing project, public space is any open area accessible to most people in a given community. In this case, accessibility describes the ability for individuals to physically enter and actively engage with their surroundings. Given that no public space is entirely accessible to all, this radical approach qualifies a space’s “publicness” by asking the degree to which anyone off the street is able and permitted to enter and engage. This perspective on public space disregards typical assumptions about private property, and opens the frame of research to a wide range of places and terrains. Public space can then encompass a variety of areas, including but not limited to: vacant properties, parking lots, streets, highways, squares, parks, campuses, shopping centers, waterfronts, transportation hubs, and civic buildings. Within these differing public spaces there exists a multitude of overlooked and under-signified places that can collectively be understood as “new public sites”.
  • 9. 8 with complete sincerity. In some instances the definitions for these lifted terms remain unchanged, while in others they are altered, recombined or entirely rewritten. Through invented and appropriated language, this reference book/manifesto challenges the authority of how public space is typically represented. While declarative and technical, these definitions also hew towards the poetic and absurd. The linguistically playful moments of this otherwise serious endeavor are derived from the latent beauty and humor within many of the spaces, features and experiences addressed. Within The Typology of New Public Sites, spaces and features are characterized by one or more “platzgeists”, and organized into three main categories. Capturing the psychic spirit or experiential essence of public space, the NPS platzgeists Introduction 3) Performative, guided walking tours invite group participation and enable direct feedback from individuals. 4) Video uploads and interactive digital maps decentralize the distribution of information by sharing the project with networked audiences. 5) Publications such as books and pamphlets provide supplementary information in support of project sites and operations. As an exemplary project publication, The Typology of New Public Sites serves as both conceptual framework for NPS maps, videos, and tours, as well as field guide for intrepid participants. The Typology of New Public Sites consists of sites, components and qualities indexed and described through terms and definitions both invented and appropriated. The typology not only represents a system of classification, but also a linguistic intervention. Drawing from the fields of architecture and urban planning, the appropriated terms and definitions are repurposed
  • 10. 9 include The Urban Sublime, Sub/urban Ambiguity, Terrain Violence and Playscape. In material and conceptual terms, the subject(s) of investigation fall into three categories: overlooked sites, their contributing components and the experiential qualities therein. Sites are classified as Voids, Lost Spaces, Paths, Pauses and Vistas. Components are described as Horizontal, Vertical, Discrete, Symbolic, Masses and Anti-masses. Qualities are split into Ethereal and Psychic. Supporting the three main categories and providing a theoretical foundation for the overall NPS project is an appendix consisting of archetypes, positions and concepts. Complementing the project maps, videos and tours, this book aims to expand interest in these invisible public spaces. As the number of people paying attention to new public sites grows, so to does the accessibility of places featured in the project. Introduction
  • 11. 10 Introduction 10 The NPS project intensifies the publicness of its given spaces while simultaneously cultivating new “publics” among interested participants. The mere act of identifying the sites and representing them through physical installations, dispersed media and promoted events raises awareness of the spaces while also making them more physically and digitally accessible. Drawing attention to the sites and inviting group participation creates opportunities for new and different publics to coalesce. Here, a public is defined as the people constituting a community of participants who produce accessible urban spaces through their physical behavior and discursive practices. Additionally, as participants responsively engage particular sites through media and in situ, they then also become contributing social producers of the given public space. Together, NPS and it’s rejoining participants increase the degree to which many invisible sites and overlooked urban features function as public space. Between the maps, videos, tours and this book, the New Public Sites project offers participants new ways to interpret and activate otherwise under-represented types of public space. Together, these various modes of representation not only describe the spaces but also resignify their possible meanings. These representations and actions make the invisible sites available to a wide range of participants through multiple points of access and interaction. Whether participating in situ, in a gallery or over the Internet, the radical pedestrian reifies new public sites while redefining the meaning public space.
