註釋How public space is produced is one of the great enigmas of democratic society. Paul Carter's innovative concept of spatial history, his theory and practice of material thinking and, more recently, his account of public space design as choreotopography have been internationally influential in promoting new postcolonial planning discourses and design ecologies. Neglected Dimensions is the first publication of the drawing practice that underwrites his analysis of public space dynamics. Carter's description of public space as a continuous entanglement of trajectories, experienced multi-modally (discursively, kinetically, mimetically) is the fruit of a public art experience that has encompassed Olympic Games commissions, major urban design (Federation Square, Melbourne) and significant Aboriginal co-design engagement. It also reflects Carter's subject position as a migrant where 'the ground is not given': the local improvisation of meeting protocols applies wherever hyperdiversity complicates finding common ground. The graphic DNA articulating this trajectory of unending arrival is a kinopoetics that entwines choreography and typography, represented in Neglected Dimensions by 46 full page colour plates and 88 in-text black-and-white figures, drawn from over a dozen major architectural and landscape design collaborations, spanning over 25 years of thinking and making. The sketches are ideational timelapses, evoking processes of complexification, pressurisation and dispersal that the empty outlines of architectural drawings necessarily neglect. They evoke the performances of a public space that is always phantom.
