While working on Plotting the Urban Body Firenze, Maria Pecchioli met Lorenzo Tripodi, architect and founding member of Ogino Knauss. Maria and Lorenzo have known each other since the late Nineties: they met at Hack it 98, the first Italian hackmeeting held  at the Centro Popolare Autogestito (CPA) in Florence. Here they go back to Lorenzo's twenty-year research practice, rooted in situationist urban drift methods and developed between cartography and political activism until it merged into a complex and all-encompassing transdisciplinary methodology of the so called 64 Urban Reconnaissance exercises.
