1. In an environment, we can use the architect’s trick of compression and expansion to create drama and heighten anticipation.
2. The procession through compression and expansion makes me think of how we “breathe with a space.” We develop or adopt its rhythm, its tempo.
3. We might want to be aware of how we systematically open and close the space. Do we design it to be regular and predictable? Or, is just the opposite? Having predicibility might be a foundation for creating a sense of serentity. Introducing irregularity might help build a sense of drama and excitement.
