One aspect of contemporary city life is the significance of 'aesthetics' in the redevelopment or urban regeneration. Streets are designed to look visually coherent and attractive; green spaces and public art are planned; benches and rubbish bins are designer items, trees are planted to soften the space and provide shade. The everyday is changing, in motion, it is flowing.

We are surrounded by the everyday , steeped in it. It is something we can know and understand naturally, something we can safely take for granted? It is to the everyday that we consign that which no longer holds our attention. Things become ‘everyday’ by becoming invisible, unnoticed, part of the furniture.

This urban space of city life is what we daily experience (ie the perception of the external world by the senses) within our everyday lived patterns and practices of the residents in in shaping personal “attachments to places”. There is an interplay between the private, or personal (we perceive sights, sounds, smells, tastes) and the public ‘senses’ of sense as in a commonality among private sensuous interpretations.

The demystification and uncovered truths that support a well-known picture of the world, but rather to speculation, curiosity, and the concrete, it tries to provoke attention to the forces that come into view as habit or shock, resonance or impact
