Using site analysis in the process of architectural design typically results in benign data collection and nominal graphic notation. Site Notation-1 critiques the normative methods of site analysis by employing photographic technology to make dynamic and imaginative interpretations. Digital images (satellite and street photos) provide a new medium to construe the landscape.
The paintings and drawings in Site Notation-1 activate architectural diagramming techniques to interpret and construct visual narratives. The diagrams are a means to think in different tenses (past, present, and future) and scales (macro and micro). For example, the notation of 1 (from a Louis Kahn story) indicates the potential for contemplating the site's prehistory and, equally, a sites' potential.
