Psychogeography

I was curious as to what psychogeography might entail so I decided to research it. The Situationists found urban architecture physically and psychologically restrictive, and proposed instead an architecture which, instead of going unnoticed or being alienating, would provided new ways to engage with and interact with ones surroundings. The Situationists wanted to make people aware of their surroundings, making walking through the city an adventure and an opportunity to experiment and discover new things and maybe transgress certain rules that are perhaps not questioned as often as they should be.
Psychogeography also has to do with finding alternate ways of mapping places, like Guy Debord's Psychogeographical map of Paris which wishes to challenge people into exploring Paris differently according to the different perceived atmospheres of each neighborhood.
After this I lost focus a bit and decided to look for other Psychogeographical maps. Here is what I found: a map of San Francisco arranged by types of crimes committed in each area, a map of whether or not to expect coleslaw with your hot dogs depending on where you are in West Virginia, a map of the world that only includes countries where it is illegal to spank your child, and a map of France organized in relation to the types of roofs people have on their houses. I like maps...
