Episode 3.1- Site Diagrams
You should represent 3 diagrams with AutoCAD or 3D-Studio, related to the project-site.
Some suggestions for your analysis:
Circulation north-south-east-west, linear voids, hierarchy of infrastructural systems, vertical and horizontal connections, access-exit to the site, paths of specific destinations, views from the building lot, views towards the building lot, existing green spaces, congestion, densification, rarefaction, events, programmatic bands-stripes, layering of activities or of traces, grids, use of the site, people flow, cars, movement, in different hours, during the day, at night, presence of nearby buildings, use of buildings next to our block, courtyards, open spaces, water, waterfront elements, edges, voids, residual islands, composition of major elements-founded and added, elements in different scales, etc...
Analysis Example: Existing buildings within the nearby blocks
Before conceiving any diagram, you need first to research on specific conditions, elements, presences, etc.
- Your research could focus on the analysis (transformations over time, traces of the past) of historical buildings, or on the analysis of exceptional buildings, in the projects’ block or nearby.
- You should focus on general dimensions of the buildings, on floor height (analyze the façade), on depth and width, on openings, on volumes composition, and how they are related to other adjacent buildings in the same block, structurally, functionally, formally.
Narrate your site analysis through 3 diagrams exploring 3 site conditions. You might explore only one condition through 3 diagrams, especially if that condition or presence has several components.
