The document discusses seeking a poetic discovery or "well of milk" within dense urban spaces through phenomenological inquiry. It references a quote about using poetry to discover something rather than build structures. The authors define a concept of "thick urbanism" as the total qualities perceived within dense urban environments and propose phenomenologically studying these environments from within to uncover poetic discoveries beyond their functional, instrumental aspects.
