Establishing a reference
A small space can be studied through movement, daylight and the arrangement of everyday objects. Clear circulation makes a layout easier to use. A useful working note records the context and the purpose of the study. Keep the details that explain what was noticed, and distinguish them from ideas that emerged later.
Describing the setup
Daylight changes throughout the day. When revisiting a series of observations, begin with the original context. Record the order of the work and keep the first descriptions alongside any later interpretation.

Daylight changes throughout the day.
Storage can be considered alongside the activities of a room.
A plan and a view describe different aspects of a space.
Reading the first observation
The next pass through small-space studies focuses on comparison. Storage can be considered alongside the activities of a room. Look for the relationships between the details and retain enough context for another reader to understand the study.
Working with variation

Comparing the records
Daylight changes throughout the day. When revisiting a series of observations, begin with the original context. Record the order of the work and keep the first descriptions alongside any later interpretation.
