#planyoursite

In my studio, my tutors worship hand drawn mappings of the site; I had to learn the hard way that prints and annotations of the project site are extremely looked down on. In particular, tutors seem to look for the big picture captured through small observations of the site; i.e an unusual tree, the feeling of the surrounding buildings or how people react to the site. Site analysis requires a lot of patience and lengthy site visits at times, but it's so important to grasp the area that your project will blossom from.
