The Eye In The City

“Path” is the imaginary path followed by the eye and the varying perceptions of an object that depends on how it appears

to the eye. Now a days it may also be the path followed by the mind across a multiplicity of phenomena, far apart in time

and space, gathered in a certain sequence into a single meaningful concept.

-Sergei Eisenstein

In the deconstruction of montage there is the search for a conceptual platform for the development of a technique to assemble

an architectural space or series of spaces along a path that are engaged in a dialectic relationship with places and histories at

multiple points in time and geography that are beyond its own.
