What will the city look like with our habits of claiming space?

Through my first encounter with the enclosed garden in public space, I became curious about the ownership and use of public space.

Who owns public space? Are we allowed to use public gardens for our own needs? Even if it’s in front of our homes?

A space which is taken care of by inhabitants, sometimes a groom goes over the sidewalk and the weeds between the tiles are being cleaned. This behavior creates ownership. To own something and ownership are not the same thing. In this case by occupying the space the feeling of ownership is being formed.The feeling of ownership gives the inhabitants control it allows them to gain power in public space and reclaim outdoor spaces. It still is a space where it is not clear who the owner is and who bears the responsibility.

This project focuses on the topic of ownership and the acts of inhabiting space. Exhibiting 100 locations in the city where various ways of occupation of space are exposed and mapping the future where our habits of claiming space take over the city.
