The Temporary Travel Office is updating it's database of parking lots
and utopias in order to create more flexible visualizations and
analyses.
We welcome new additions to our ongoing research archive from web-
based visitors, as well as mobile participants. Data can be submitted
in the form of voice recordings (via phone) and/or text and image
uploads.
As our research is specifically focused on the development of parking
within the United States, we can only support US-based participation.

More about Parking Public:
Parking Public is a research initiative documenting specific
histories of parking lot development as it relates to the more
general ideology of utopian capitalism. The initiative involves a
three part process: 1) in situ research of parking lots including
participatory walking tours 2) general public surveys of
idiosyncratic notions of utopia in contrast to the structured mundane
reality of auto parking 3) a proposal for a monument/memorial
(nonument) to the 20th century parking lot in the United States.
The Travel Office is conducting research in various cities and towns
across the United States, as well as utilizing telecommunications
technologies to document the interactions between local and networked
spaces -- immediate and distant desires.
