Harbour Town Notebook
Ligurian coast, Italy · Field study, 2022
Eleven days of drawing one town at four different hours.
Some places are understood only by being drawn badly, many times. This town was drawn from the same four benches every day until the plan revealed itself as a section.
Four benches, one town
Each bench gave a different city: the fishermen's, the tourists', the children's, and the one nobody uses at noon.

the town has no square. it has a widening.

Reflection
A place is not what is built there. It is the set of habits the building allows.
