Concept
Environment
The setting or context in which a floral design is placed, which directly determines decisions of scale, proportion, and spatial relationship.
“Environment is a primary design consideration, not an afterthought - the space a design occupies governs its scale and proportion, and defining the environment is itself a design decision.”
Environment refers to the actual positioning of a design - the space it will occupy, the surfaces and objects that surround it, and the context in which it will be experienced. It is a primary design consideration: a design well-proportioned in isolation may be ill-suited to its environment. The environment directly governs decisions of scale and proportion, and in German design theory, defining the environment or habitat is itself a formation technique - a deliberate statement about where the design appears to exist.
