""Through the simple act of looking through a window, Adriana Cobo Corey invites us to reflect on the often-overlooked, everyday actions that shape the life of the city. Focusing on Granary Square as a case of privately owned public space, she examines cleaning routines not only as functional tasks but also as choreographed performances that reveal the deeper politics of maintenance, labour, visibility, and control involved in the production of contemporary urban space."" Carlos Mínguez Carrasco, Chief Curator at ArkDes and co-editor of Bodybuildings: Architecture and Performance ""Countering the invisibilization of privately owned public space in architectural practice, this important book critically unpacks the aesthetic norms of privatization."" Elke Krasny, Co-Editor of Critical Care: Architecture and Urbanism for a Broken Planet
