"Against Indifference is an atlas of public urban situations. It is a non-exclusive endeavor to track down the uncertain and transient boundaries of urban intensity. We bring urbanism onto a smaller scale, focusing our attention on apparently insignificant situations. We discover the power of catalyzing both designed and spontaneous public space with lighthearted actions."--Cover
