Building Analysis:
“As both analogue and abstraction the surface of the map functions like an operating table, a staging ground or a theatre of operations upon which the mapper collects, combines, connects, marks, masks, relates, and generally explores. These surfaces are massive collections, sorting and transfer sites, great fields upon which real material conditions are isolated, indexed and placed within an assortment of relational structures.” James Corner
You are to map the surfaces of the building. There are physical attributes to this place, but there are also spatial characteristics that a flat 2-d surface or a map must convey as well. In this studio we will examine the site through your concept. Like I said on Monday, you are looking at the building through elements made up of your concept. Look for associations within the structure, surface, and ground. First you need to familiarize yourself with the site and its history, then after Friday we will move on to identifying those concepts and the ways they can be used to map the site.
