Box 18

One focal point in my setting would have to be the atrium itself. The exact area where my group meets is on the second floor in the atrium. The atrium helps give a space scale and I think the atrium gives are meeting place character. The atrium imposes a sense of unity between everyone in the space because of the imposing space, everyone has to gather together so it isnt as imposing. This helps unite the group and also gives people within the space a different perspective. Because I am an architecture student scale and space are big factors in how we develop spaces, so it is one of the first things I notice about a new area that I visit. I could quickly identify the atrium as the focal point of the setting I am studying.
