Site Analysis
PJS 7, Bandar Sunway
Site Analysis establishes the context or environment for both projects 1 and 2. In assigned tutorial groups, students conduct a site visit where they record, observe and gather data informing the physical and social dimensions of the environment. Method used in data collection may include sketches, diagrams, photography, videography, audio recordings, secondary site data from various local authorities, and simple interviews focusing on but not limited to these said dimensions, as listed. Students will identify the intangible qualities together with the physical inventory that shape the character of the site. From there onwards, students analyse nterpretive contextual themes that will inform their design narratives.
Through this project, I was able to understand the true purpose of a site analysis which includes not only the data, but personal experience, thought and interpretation of the site itself. On the other hand, I was able to analyse the factors that will contribute to the design of the centre in various aspects in conjunction to the site.
