The three-point route

A simple route gives the day shape without turning it into a race. Start with a room that orients you, move toward one object that rewards time, and keep a final space open.

01

Anchor

Choose a first room by scale, light or a single object you can describe.

02

Drift

Let the route change when a material, inscription or view catches you.

03

Return

Keep one final room unclaimed so the day can end with a discovery.

A useful first question

Before reading every label, ask: what is this room teaching my eyes to notice?
