What is a site drawing? When I think of what one may look like I think of a birds eye view, looking down on the site. Somewhat similar to a site plan, however less technical and more creative. Traditional Site plans usually show the buildings footprint, travelways, parking, drainage facilities, sanitary sewer lines, water lines, trails, lighting, and landscaping and garden elements.
I want to capture some concepts and ideas included in the traditional site plan to better explain and explore the gallery site and put it into context. It is important to remember that the site is not just somewhere floating in space, there is context. For example the first major thing to consider is that the gallery site is situated within a university, a university that is in the middle of the city. These are important factors that I think need to portrayed in my site drawing.
I plan to use grids, maps, coordinates and text to explain and demonstrate a strong relation to space, this will aid the viewer in better understanding the project in regards to
