Text / ground comparison of housing for automobiles

This paper aims to give an outline of the methodology applied to the study of the parking phenomenon as a rare intersection of infrastructure networks, land use in metropolitan regions and technological mobilities. It starts with a discussion of urban planning legislation, and the power of its textual futures to reveal and conceal. Introducing attention to the acts of reading, interpreting and translating guidelines brings us closer to a notion of narrative. With the help of four primary case studies, I propose to treat an investigative process as a physical and textual conversation with the field.
