Notes #14: Landscaping

Landscaping has a tentative property with its surroundings. The conscious decision of association serves as an expression. A narrative can be obtained between the land and the built form.

Is the building, as it is now, a protrusion on a flat plane? It can be perfectly justified in being the protrusion on a flat plane. That the object is meant to be studied in isolation as the scientist would. To give it context would compromise it, bias it as the object would become subject.

Re-interpretation
The idea of a flat plane can both be an objective one, and a subjective one. Providing a sterile environment has a similar effect on the built form. The flat plane is almost impossible, given the effect of neighbouring properties, so the edge condition must nullify the effects of neighbouring properties.
