Skin: Fenestra – Systems Map

Concept Map and other system diagrams:

 

My discover:

For the topic: Although “fenestra“ is a technical term used in several different disciplines, it has something in common.  The function behind this constructure is always about transportation and interflow. It helps create a balance in the system and facilitates communication between the inner side and the outside of a single system.

For the system diagrams: I’m used to using a mind map to help me think and organize my thoughts. This is my first time using a concept map, and I felt a little uncomfortable while building it. I think it is because these two kinds of maps are similar but different that the old way of thinking influenced me. The iceberg helps me a lot by showing the development of the word’s meaning. I connected these fragments by following how fenestra’s meaning is added.

  1. The branch you highlighted “Temporal Fenestrae” is so visceral. The two terms together are already full of possibilities to investigate in a metaphoric landscape.

    “It helps create a balance in the system and facilitates communication between the inner side and the outside of a single system.” I am wondering if there is a way you dig into this a bit more by parsing some of the terms in the “Temporal Fenestrae” branch (as an example) that tap into your imagination beyond factual/biological systems.
