In architectural and open environments, including interiors and landscapes, Structural Omission tests whether load-bearing incompleteness holds when human presence is peripheral, absent, or implied. Rendered passages sit beside exposed Venetian red ground; what can be seen clarifies what remains beyond reach. The Tablas de Daimiel suite (2026) extends the framework into wetland landscape.
