Psychogeography

Situationists were known for experimenting with human desires and constructing situations to fulfill these desires such as unitary urbanism as well as psychogeography. Psychogeography was defined by Guy Debord as "the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, on the emotions and behavior of individuals." This refers to the human connection with the environment. So they way humans shape their environment or the way the environment shapes humans. This may be through analysing human behaviour or feeling a connection with the environment or a building for example. It is the study into the impact and effects the geographical environment has on the psyche and behaviour of individuals. It may be how a smell or sound recalls emotional memories. As Alan Moore describes it as, “... the place and time from which we emerge shapes all of us.”
