Site analysis: The Different Vantage and View Points of the Site

These first three images presents the site comparison during the day and night time. As you can
see, the site during the day is much more dominant and visible then at night since during night
time, there is very less electricity surrounding the site area. It is very dark and most of the light
are present along the road. This proves that during the night time, not much attention is drawn to the site compared to the daytime.




These next two images show the comparison of the photographs taken looking into the site and looking out from the site. It presents the surroundings of the site.




The next image shows the traffic in front of the faculty of architecture where as seen on the plan, towards the left of the diagram, which is the front gate, it shows a green color to represent that the traffic here is free flow where cars drive at a considerably fast speed. As you drive through to the faculty, the diagram shows orange color to show how cars start to slow down as it gets near to the guard post. Then, once you are in the area of the guard post where you receive Chula cards, it is a red on the diagram to show that cars have to stop in this area to get the cards. Finally, after they receive the cards, the diagram shows a green color again which shows how cars accelerate their car speeds as soon as they get the cards and once again, the traffic is a free flow.


The last image shows the distractions from different view points. This diagram is made by the point of views of Guide and me. It is recorded through the video camera where we both took the same route starting from the opposite side of our faculty's terrace and walk through, recording all the distractions that made us turn. This is to see if different walkers notice the site as they walk on the sidewalk on a normal day where there is always some sort of distraction like cars, people talking, and etc. The green color on this diagram represents the route that both Guide and I took. The blue dots represents Guide's distraction location while the red dots represents mine. Then, we write captions through each distraction that we see along our walk passing the site. We came to a conclusion that most distractions are from anything moving, has noise, or has some sort of interactions with each other.

  1. Thank you for posting, Cake. The images could really use a plan or isometric view to note where each photo was taken from. Your verbal description help a little to understand your observations, but directing the viewer with arrows and labels on the images themselves would have been good. The traffic speed diagram shows important information for your analysis but could have used different tones of the same color to show the amount of speed. The distractions diagram is helpful but should show the direction toward the distractions, not just dots. Are some distractions more powerful than others?

    Please remind Guide to post the video to blog after he uploads it to YouTube.
