Visual Influences + Project Precedents

As Craig Campbell explains the subject of water in nature as so encompassing it is only possibly to touch on it briefly (Campbell 1978:9). The same could be said of water and its relationship to the built environment. With that in mind, this blog and in the posts submitted here reveal only brief investigation. The intention of this post is to share the various images that have been accumulated and influential in decision making for this project.

Atmospheric Studies by Nicholas Bouvier

These amongst many other images from Nicholas ‘SPARTH’ Bouvier have influenced the manner in which presentation images begin to evoke experiential quality through the framing of composition and light. Bouvier’s images spark the imagination and the same can be said of his concept art.
