When we look at a view — or the photographic record of a view — we tend to see the whole before we start to register and analyse the many individual elements comprising the composition. Similarly with architectural space, we encounter it first instinctively, as a totality of mass, light and atmosphere. Immersing oneself in the purity of this whole for as long as possible has the potential to enrich the processes of anatomisation that follow.
