Concept
Placements and Spatial Depth
A formation technique that manages the sequential placement of materials across different depth planes to create three-dimensional spatial complexity and prevent a design from reading as flat.
“Depth is not a by-product of placing materials - it is the result of deliberate sequential management of foreground, midground, and background across the whole composition.”
Placements and spatial depth is a formation technique in the German floral design tradition concerned with the deliberate management of foreground, midground, and background relationships. Materials are not merely distributed across the visible surface; they are layered at different depths, each placement calculated to contribute to the design's three-dimensional quality. This technique is closely related to the gradation principle in rhythm, and to the broader concept of spatial depth as a compositional tool. Source: Assman (400).
