Notes #3: Confines, Cut, Growth, Death

How does nature confine itself? Or, moreover, how does my client feel about being 'confined'?

Defn: Con•fine

1. To enclose within bounds; limit or restrict: She confined her remarks to errors on the report. Confine your efforts to finishing the book.
2. To shut or keep in; prevent from leaving a place because of imprisonment, illness, discipline, etc.: For that offense he was confined to quarters for 30 days.

Confine could be considered something unnatural coming into something natural, or, rather, a threshold against a fluid. A skin confines, a seal, a laminate. Something restrictive?

The Hypothetical Garden City Grid

The dwelling could be brought down to a flat plane using devices that seek to isolate the occupant. Thin walls rallying against thick restrictive boxes, manipulating the framework of the walls, forcing their exposure.

Views, connections & relations to the other dwellings could be vague. Rhythms half copied and half ignored. The structure then becomes deformed, segmented into the city grid, folded, as it were.
