Economic, social and cultural dispositions mean that people move through their home environments in very different ways. Residents have very different maps for the same city that depend upon their 'Habitus'*. The five differently sized one-meter steel rules are a new technology that allows us to begin measuring places according to the value individuals place on them. Equipped with the 'five rules' we are better able to understand that space is not universal but the product of individual negotiation.

The Rules were exhibited at 2001 Space Doubt at Studio 39, Plymouth.
