Global metropolis nowadays increasingly positions itself as the herald of self-made city, hosting more or less willingly many innovative and inclusive initiatives of urban living and architectural interventions. Open Plot investigates new approaches in architecture, urban development and designing neighborhoods which instigate bottom-up processes while using artistic means in setting up situations for community participation in the process. Through exploring urban geography and interventionist art history Open Plot is creating a perceptive mapping of traces left by different agents of power, artistic representatives and designers of innovative city neighborhoods. The goal is to test, compare and experiment with different means of collection and production in order to follow and connect the multilayered, often remote and multiscalar forces concretely building the city (Neil Brenner, New State Spaces).
