Project01.Inventory
Overview:
Base maps and inventory data are essential for nearly every site specific project. These drawings exist at a variety of scales and contain physical and cultural elements existing within a defined area of interest. Physical elements, such as utilities, structures, vegetation, etc. are mapped indicating surface and subsurface features and functions. Cultural elements like ownership, property lines, building names, etc. also help to define activities and designations critical for the design process.
In addition to measured drawings of the site, it is critical to understand, document, and represent basic functions and phenomena happening in and around the site. This can include viewsheds, circulation, climate patterns, and program, among others.
Assignment:
Your assignment will require both a measured base plan of our site using AutoCAD and inventory diagrams that utilize both AutoCAD and Adobe Illustrator. The base plan will be comprehensive and represent physical, cultural and environmental features in and around the site. A minimum of four onsite sketches will be required representing basic functions and ephemeral qualities of the site. From those four sketches, create three digital diagrams utilizing Adobe Illustrator and create a fourth hybrid diagram utilizing both digital media and scanned analog media. Be intentional when choosing which sketch to represent as a hybrid diagram, taking advantage of the benefits in using analog media.
