    great post! now consider the firsthand experience of airplane aesthetics. it’s one thing to see a plane out on the tarmac and take it in all in one view. but it’s interesting to think about how it looks from a human-scale perspective in the context of personal experience:

    the nose as seen through the window at the gate; the ‘framed bit of fuselage’ one sees as one approaches and then crosses the threshold of jetway and steps onto the plane, and then, of course, the sense of ‘insideness’ one has once on board. it would be interesting to assess these aesthetics from those more narrowly framed viewpoints.
