The idea behind Form Register
A collection is more
than a row of objects.
It is a set of relationships: between material and form, a visual detail and a written observation, a known fact and an open question. This concept gives those relationships a clear place to live.
- 01
Begin with what you can describe.
A silhouette, an opening, a surface. Use a consistent record to hold your observations without making them stand in for attribution.
- 02
Keep the context close.
Separate the object description from source notes and unanswered questions. Each should be easy to find when you return.
- 03
Leave room to revise.
An archive can support careful looking over time. The imagined workspace treats a record as something you can keep refining.
