Site Analysis Board



I am in the process of adding a site plan as well as a site section.

What will you trying to show? It is important that you not only present the bare facts, but your experience of the space.

Find something to anchor your theme, which relate to the site in different ways: amplifying some aspects that are already there, contrasting the context, etc.

Hey Chad -

When I look at the thumbnail of this board (not so much when it's enlarged, though), the way you have those images arranged make a composition that I think can really help advance your concept. There is something about the way you've stacked them, and wrapped across the top that somehow to me suggests a wild cantilever that would be an engineering marvel - which goes in hand with your design of the cubes, I think. I'm sure I'm not explaining myself clear enough, but I hope you get the gist of what I'm saying.

Bottom line, I think the composition of the board layout (i.e. how you arrange the graphics) themselves can help advance your story - you are almost there right now, and it could work with just a hint more tweaking.

I think that recognizing a single datum in each of the pictures would communicate their idea better in the site analysis. Keeping these pictures in the board will give it an extra element that it wouldn’t have had if you just put a gray bar to fill white space. Looks good,
-Tim

Chad,
Since you have displayed the images in this particular sequence you must be drawing a specific experience about the already built environment in relation to the site when you are walking past the site. What is that connection and how are you going to relate it/activate it/frame it/make it work for you. This will be a very strong grounding point and will make your project make a lot of sense. Looking forward to seeing your "prerogative" inflicting this perception of the space already framed.
