Drawing Matter’s central meadow is enclosed by both built spaces and the topography, selected drawn fragments will highlight this specificity.
We use 2 methods: triangulation to construct the enclosure, and successive levels points to understand the topography. The first forms the plane of the field, the second its depth. The triangulation gives spatial perception in plan : precise points that when linked together construct a line, a wall, an occlusion observed and felt. Dashed lines are indicative of the construction phase, offer information and convey a sense of distance. This plan is echoed in the bottom right corner, stripped of its details, leaving the field as empty as it truly is. The level points add depth to the field: by connecting the two sections, one can trace isometric lines across the entire area, revealing the topography of the landscape.
The enclosure perceived by the observer is expressed in all its dimensions. This sense of immersion is further enhanced by the closed shape of the triangle formed by the landmarks surrounding the field: the nearest tree trunk at the edge of the treeline, the human-made pyramid, and the pillar of the barn – our workplace.
Immersed in the site, at work facing this agora, the drawing slowly becomes its navigation map.
