To measure is to know. Like its owner, this DeWalt 16-foot tape measure went through some changes. While in service, at first, it was a trusted companion for ornamental stone and stucco work in New York City. Later it became the tool for model making during architectural studies. At arriving in a country with a metric system, the tape measure signifies ‘measuring and knowing’ metaphorically. It has been a learning outlet for a different way of thinking about ratios, proportions, symmetry, and distances. Which elevates both designing and architectural thinking.
