COURT
Wall
A long edge gives the eye a place to rest.
A little space,
held open.
Courtyard compositions
for a quieter kind of looking.
The room
without a roof.
Two walls make a corner. One opening makes a way in. The middle can remain empty.
Edges do the work.
Step
A small change marks the point of arrival.
Shade
A light frame suggests a ceiling without closing it.
Choose a courtyard.
Walk through the plan.
Arrive
Leave the entry legible.
Turn
Let a wall slow the view.
Pause
Give the middle some room.
Let one
object lead.
A single raised form is enough to shift the balance. The surrounding space tells you where to look.
Read the drawing.
Is this a building plan?
No. The drawings are original studies in enclosure and empty space. They are not measured, engineered or approved for construction.
What is in the guide?
A short description of the chosen composition, its edges, focal object and entry.
Keep an
open corner.
