Drawing into the cloud

Abstract

Architectural designer, maker and researcher Birgir Örn Jõnsson describes Islands of Vision, a speculative design project that he developed while in Unit 23 at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UCL). Acknowledging the predominance of the image and the underutilisation of the full range of visual experience in contemporary life, Jõnsson set out to explore the entire field of vision, reasserting the periphery 'as a rich and dynamic mode of sensation'. With the aid of ScanLAB Projects and their 3D point cloud scanner, Jõnsson scanned the project's site at Lee Valley Park, East London. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
