How to increase the capacity of youths to learn from their urban environment?
How can spatial exploration be used as an emancipatory practice?

Exercises in Urban Reconnaissance is a methodology developed during decades of activity by the ogino:knauss media collective and produced by Tesserae. It is employed as a general framework to survey the complexity of factors that affect a given socio-spatial context and to start a preliminary reflection to any sort of intervention or project.
