Site work
Enjoy your sites: observe and investigate, draw out and explore the qualities that interest you. Document these qualities through drawing and photography and allow the process of recording to further your investigations, as well as articulating your interests. Consider the whole site, beyond the boundaries of the site to neighbours and context, as well as selected details. Here are some images from site and drawings to inspire you:
