Week 2 Howard Smith Wharves (Reducing Scale/Perception) (Entry Four)

Following on from my train of thought, I began sketching and theorizing about ways to reduce scale and limit its presence. I identified framing, because it focuses on specific areas of the natural or artificial environment and it thus reduces its overall presence.

Framing

I also identified distance; because due to optics - objects will appear smaller over distance.

Transparency/Distance 

This concept of imposition, I felt could be challenged by using artificial (created) elements to tame natural (existing) elements or vice versa. I felt that true design had to be entirely mindful of the bigger picture. So if something had no context - it was almost anti-design - in the sense that it did not attempt to factor in people or certain people. So I changed the theme from 'Axis' to 'Natural/Artificial'.
