A TOOL FOR PEOPLE TO SEE is a magazine that challenges the view of the city as predictable, instantaneous and productivity-driven — instead, it looks for play, pause, and connection. The magazine is structured around generative prompts (FOR PEOPLE… / TO SEE… / IN…), inspired by Alison Knowles’ House of Dust. These prompts became a starting point for public events and workshops across various city locations, turning the magazine into a shared experience. The first issue focuses on play as a way to connect, pay attention, and engage with public space.
