The principle of microcosmic and macrocosmic worlds is founded on the idea that there is a universal similarity of pattern or structure from the largest scale, to the smallest.

Existing textures and conditions of the land are revealing the presence of microcosmic and macrocosmic principle in the land, opening a new reading of the landscape through the function of scale. A land could exist as a fragment of something bigger and at the same time as a whole condition on its own. Questioning how relative the scale is and defining it as a contextual property, opened a new perception of the landscape. Discarding the understanding of what conventional scale is and looking at the landscape not through the lens of scale, but through abstracted textures I discovered new landscapes. With the function of zooming in the existence of an infinite system of scaleless conditions was unfolded in the land.

The project discovers a new reading of the landscape which exposes the presence of numerous amount of news lands within the same site. Defining scale as a tool for manipulation and not a given value the reading reveals an infinite system that exists in front of us.
