Scales of ten

Dr. Ted McGlaukin, the head of the Landscape Architecture program brought up the idea of looking at everything in different scales of ten in latitude with each other or at the same time. An example he gave was looking at a tree from as close up to see a knat on the bark to looking at that same tree and being able to see the moose, which is standing in front. I guess this idea would be able to work for everything from the project you do in your practicum to the way you live your everyday life. It could be very useful in some ways and yet get very irritating in others. By using this idea for specific projects, one would be able to look at each aspect in more than one ideal way and in doing so they would be able to gather a lot more information. If this idea was used to live everyday life, one would always be thinking instead of actually living.
