Spatial proportion along The Line

Decided to try and describe the spatial proportion through collage - this was a bit of sketch book stuff. Essentially this is about diminishing skyline.  There are some fundamental proportional changes to understanding - for example the change in ratio of avenue width verses building height along The Line. 
At Primrose Hill (above) we perceive an open vista, an uninterrupted peripheral view. 
From Regents Park (above) to the West End vertical forms intensify, our peripheral vision is narrowed leading to a truly 4D experience.

Carnaby Street (above)
Piccadilly Circus - full on 4D, total immersion.
