2.0



This phase of the project is called Building Generator and will develop from the site analysis and the application of the index from the shirt manipulations. The drawings that you produced from the shirt documented the operations performed on that building. So what is your concept and how can you map the site as you mapped the operations performed on the shirt? You must get to know your concept like it is your new significant other. There are several steps to the analysis. The most important step is to trace the indexical condition of your idea through the site. You need to gather information from the site that is relevant to the ideas (index) in the shirt project.

We need to get to know the site. Map. Map. Map. The maps will follow the graphical expression found within your shirt diagrams.


Have each individual diagram printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

The photo set above illustrates how your graphical expression can carry through from one stage to another. Here this student first analyzed the movement of the buttons on the shirt in plan, then when we moved onto the Canyon Lakes System here in Lubbock this person was able to map and measure the varying water levels of the canyon lakes using the same kind of notation found in the shirt phase.
