Site Analysis Part I: episodic descriptions of found relationships

These two studies are part of an analysis of a site in Washington D.C. The intent is to analyze the site based on perceived boundaries and the what constitutes those boundaries-- whether it is made up from a series of masses in perspective or a continuous skin of a building, etc. The intended result was to have episodic descriptions of found relationships. The analysis abstracted the language of each boundary and the result shows a series of analyses layered on top of one another. The bottom image is one of the images I pinned up in studio. We had a conversation about an image communicating versus evoking. As the bottom image stands, it is only evoking, but it is not communicating enough about place or Washington D.C. In the upper image I tried to root the analysis in the perspective I chose for that specific analysis. There still seems to be a layer of information gathering left out or ways to see how I made my decisions.
