FIELD KEY / COASTAL SYSTEMS / NO SCALE IMPLIED

Five connected layers

Place the building in its working landscape.

Geography sets the conditions. A sheltered inlet can support landing and mooring; exposed shores demand different access and protection. Quays and piers connect water to land. Boats link the harbor to fishing grounds and routes. Sheds hold gear, support repairs or provide storage. Homes complete the settlement, close to work but not interchangeable with work space.

Read from the water inward. Look for paths between landing places and storage. Notice which edges remain active. Keep clear of equipment, moorings and private working areas.
