40 days left

I want to revisit what i wanted this book tobe, what it can be and map out how this will happen.

I wanted this book to:
be casual, like a stroll in the street of an unknown city.
be accessible in terms of its structure. the reader can read a chapter or two, they should be somewhat conclusive on their own.
Fun, accidental and serendipitous. That is precisely why i enjoy discovering a city on foot.
It should be about finding pleasure in seeing the seemingly insignificant objects and building and streets and discovering your personal insight.
Discovery, it has come up twice already.
It should be layered, like when you visit a neighborhood for a second time you experience it in a new way, it is still open to new interpretations.
Conversations

Keywords o wrote down in my sketchbook in the summer:
Common objects
Transportation, driving, automobiles (Peikan, Kia Pride, Peogeout 206, Nissan Patrol, Peogeout RD, Metro)
City structure ( Old vs. New, Districts, Growth of the city, Maps)
Typography of the city (writings on the wall , etc.)
textures

What i have, want to scan/photograph:
-Newspapers
-Magazines
-flyers i have got when waling in the city (not enough)
-tickets
-money
