[POETICS OF SPACE] ch_07

This chapter focused on the concept of miniature. Miniature, in terms of Bachelard, can be defined as the miniscule details that influence a greater outcome. Miniature is the reasoning behind the daydreams of man, it provides a basis to evaluate and scale those surrounding elements that evolve to mold & shape man. (pg.152) Exploring this concept goes on to explore the ways in which we as people perceive the space around us and how much detail we allow our eye to engage. It explores our actions, and in comparison, reveals how the volume of our actions undertakes the results and consequences from the choices we make in life.
