The places we enter
in our mind.

An image can become a rehearsal for experience.

Some spaces can be inhabited before they are entered. A photograph or floor plan gives us fragments, but the mind completes them: the volume of the room, how light falls, where the body might move, what activities could take place and how the atmosphere might feel.

This projection is more than imagination. It is a form of spatial understanding. Scale, light, thresholds, circulation and focal gestures give us enough information to mentally enter a place that may be distant—or may not exist yet.

For designers, this ability is an important tool. It allows us to consider not only how a space will look, but how it might be experienced.
