SUBSTANTIVE ACCOUNT
As part of our Studio B site anaylsis, I was set the task to ‘map’ the ‘transportation and communication’ within Spike Island.
METHODOLOGICAL ACCOUNT
From a DWG site plan of Spike Island, in Archicad, I started separating areas into their different functions and uses. I made one ‘map’ with all
uses on it and I put each separate use on its own layer. From this one drawing with lots of information - I could then turn off other layers to
poduce a series of drawings which communicated different functions and uses
ANALYTICAL ACCOUNT
Becasue of the amibguity of the spaces on Spike Island - mapping the pedestrian routes was not always straight forward. For example the
pedestrian route or desire way may include cutting through a carpark or an unused/undesignated space. This unplanned aspect to the
island I found quite refreshing. Figure grounds are interesting, but perhaps not always useful. I combined the layers of the figure ground
with the houses back gardens and also restricted zones physical and psychological.
The diagram which explodes these different ‘maps’ upwards - I found not really necessary and it was easier to view these drawings
individually on plan view.
