Serial Vision by Gordon Cullen: Maragatha Mahisha

Gordon Cullen was an English architect and urban designer known for his concept of serial vision, which describes the pedestrian experience of moving through the built environment. Serial vision acts as a pictorial sequence that slowly reveals vistas as one walks, with the changing views resulting in discovery and surprise. The Taj Mahal provides an example of serial vision through a series of vistas that are revealed to visitors as they move through the site.
