STRATA /

AN ATLAS OF SLOW CHANGE

Beneath
the surface.

The surface is only the beginning. Follow a contour, lift a layer, and discover a landscape written over time.

02 — AN EXERCISE IN TERRAIN

LOOK A LITTLE CLOSER

FIELD 01 / PLAN

Follow the rust-red traverse.

A single route crosses the folded relief. The thin survey lines make each rise legible without flattening it.

A NOTE ON TERRAIN
THE STRATA PERSPECTIVE

A landscape is a memory that happens to be a place.

The stories beneath our feet.

THREE CHAPTERS / ONE EXPLORATION
A line is a way in.

FIG. 01 / STRATA
01 / OBSERVE

A line is a way in.

From a distance the land looks still. Follow its contours and another rhythm appears: a rise, a hollow, the patient return of a ridge. A map begins when we learn what to notice.

Choose Fold, Ridge or Basin to change the land beneath the lines. Back to the instrument ↑

FIG. 02 / STRATA
02 / REVEAL

The ground has chapters.

Lift the surface and the atlas becomes a section. Bands that seemed like a single mass separate into a record of pressure and accumulation. The cutaway is imagined; the curiosity is real.

Separate the layers to read the model from the side. Back to the instrument ↑

FIG. 03 / STRATA
03 / REMEMBER

Leave with a field note.

A useful expedition changes the way you look. Record the survey you explored, its relief, and the distance you opened between its layers. Return with a question, not just a view.

Save a small record of the terrain you made. Back to the instrument ↑
