Abstract

This paper discusses material developing towards an installation that uses as its model and conceptual framework an abandoned rifle range. The spatiotemporal framework generated by the rifle range acts as a model for examining the design process, particularly in relation to visual perception. The rifle range has a specific relationship to a formative mode of vision - sighting - and significant but less obvious connections to other visual modes which the paper will discuss. The vast differences of scale embedded within the space offer a starting point to examine and relate architectural representation at a similarly expansive range - from human to landscape - opening it onto multiple codes and phenomena normally taken to lie beyond its remit. More broadly, the paper will discuss how an attention to the studio space as a second site for the design project can engender new modes of engaging with and considering the process of design and our relationship to it
