Recerca sobre les friccions i possibilitats entre l'espai tal i com és concebut i planificat per l'administració local, i l'espai habitat, utilitzat o imaginat per habitants i usuaris. El projecte adopta la forma d'un joc de taula on jugadors/ciutadans poden actuar simbòlicament sobre els espais latents o solars de la ciutat de Biella. Realitzat durant una residència a UNIDEE (Universitaá delle Idee) a la Fondazione Pistoletto (Itàlia).
