Reading case studies together
A case study should remain one collection with its source title, creator, landing-page link and reading order. Its individual images remain searchable by room, object, material or visual idea. A living-room image can therefore be found on its own and then opened in the complete study.
Read together
Choose Read together in the library to browse registered collections. Open any collection to move through its images using arrows, swipe or numbered thumbnails. The reader shows the title and current position. Copy library link preserves the collection and the exact image. Back to results returns to the original search and filters.
Opening View full sequence from a filtered image includes the entire collection, even images that do not match that search. Repeated placements are retained in the sequence so it makes sense as a presentation; the normal library can continue to hide duplicate placements.
Source sequences and curated sets
A board sequence follows the saved order of an existing source board. A case study will follow the explicitly checked page or slide order of a deck or project. A curated set is an editorial comparison, such as four weather-symbol sheets; it must never be presented as an original deck.
The library now has 30 ordered collections. Case Study contributes 16 project, presentation or curated groups; Brand Identities contributes 11. The original Studio Ashby Web example and the Kamon/weather comparison sets remain available.
Imported decks and projects
Case Study (1772:2518) includes Provider, In Common With, Eadem, Gelée, Evermore, The Audo, kōdō scents, House of Forme, Wentworth, Kettle Kids, Studio Ashby, Living Room, Kindred and the For Auspicious narrative references. Studio Ashby’s manual and its repeated placement remain separate ordered sequences. Complete webpage captures scroll without being split into unrelated tiles. Original case study links are available beside the sequence when the source is established.
Brand Identities (1772:2588), authorized on 26 October, includes the 101-page Audo Copenhagen brand guidelines, 50-slide The Audo identity manual, identity explorations and applications, a five-page Private Office extract and nine Private Office webpages, Mother Root, separate palette examples, Dilli House, and a curated footer/newsletter group. These are distinct collections, not a single presentation inferred from a shared brand name.
For future imports, map original project boundaries and inspect covers, contents, chapter progression and printed page order before saving an explicit sequence. Keep a repeated placement in its source sequence even when normal search hides it.
Cultural symbolism
Kamon means Japanese family crest. A circular logo, fan icon, modern geometric emblem or mixed symbol chart is not automatically Kamon. Use a tradition or symbol name when supported by the visual reference and visible labels. Keep those associations separate from the depicted brand’s country.
The current import includes genuine crest studies, mixed spiritual-symbol charts, repeating patterns and packaging applications. Keywords can describe Hindu/Indic, Buddhist or Chinese associations without claiming that every symbol on a mixed chart belongs to one tradition. Source-chart meanings are reference text, not independently verified cultural claims.
Data and future formats
Collections are explicit ordered lists of stable reference IDs in collections.json. The reader does not infer membership from matching source brands. The schema can preserve a source URL, notes and collection kind beside the ordered references. Individual captions, subjects and materials stay on each reference.
Use a paginated reader for slide decks and sequential project panels. Long webpage captures already scroll within the image viewer. A continuous vertical reading mode can be added later for editorial case studies without changing collection identity or reading order.
