Be a Bird of Prey!
You got to gain altitude to see it more clearly... And so here we are!
A bird's eye view refers to a perspective or viewpoint from above, and provides a broad and comprehensive outlook of a scene or situation Creating scope for a better understanding of the overall layout or context. This perspective is often used in various fields such as urban planning, architecture, and photography to gain a holistic understanding of a subject.
In planning, it refers to a top-down perspective that allows planners to see the entire area or project they are working on. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the spatial layout, including the complexities and relationships between different elements and how they interact with each other. It helps planners to identify potential challenges, assess the impact of their decisions, and make informed choices about the design and development of the area (Fishbone structure). This perspective helps in creating more effective and efficient plans that consider the overall context and long-term goals.
In architecture, this view refers to a top-down perspective of a building or its architectural design with an overview of the entire structure, allowing architects and designers to visualize the layout, proportions, and relationships between different elements, layers, structures, landscaping and designing requirements. With this view when used as a tool, architects can assess the overall composition, spatial organization, and circulation patterns within the building or a complete project. It does help in understanding how the various components of a certain design fit together and how they interact with the surrounding environment thus aiding in making informed decisions about the form, function, and aesthetics of the building or construction projects.
In Photography, a bird's eye view refers to a perspective where the camera is positioned high above the subject, simulating a unique and often dramatic angle, that of a bird flying overhead, allowing photographers to capture scenes from an elevated position. It can be used to showcase landscapes, cityscapes, architecture, or even capture interesting patterns and shapes from above. It offers a fresh and different perspective, giving viewers a new way to experience and appreciate the subject matter. This technique can add depth, context, and visual interest to photographs, creating captivating and visually striking images.
