Conclusion

and understood as a pictorial sequence

combined with measured drawings
such as maps, designers can learn
important lessons about scale in city
design.
A designer who compares, for
example, a plan view of a place with a
pictorial sequence illustrating a walk
through that place has a much better
grasp of dimension.
the Pictorial sequence has the desired
effect of pulling the reader into the
space, so the pictures must be read
from bottom to top.
