The Fraserview Park

Circulation of people

Numbers indicate the order of people entering the site and their starting point. The central gravel path was frequently used. People were walking or running in loops. One exception was the dog and the owner cut straight into the lawn. The play area was very popular as well. Parents and children were playing and walking around a lot in that area. The park is situated between the street (with the bus stop) and residential area. Few pedestrians walking from the street would take the alleyways instead of walking into the park.

Movement of the swing and the kid

When the kid jumped off the swing and ran away, the swing was still moving. This map shows the movements of both the kid and the swing. Woodchips are under the swing set.

Scattered gravels

This map shows the distribution of gravels in a more conceptual way. It could be the map of how gravels travel throughout the site and reach the points at park: benches and fitness equipment. The gravels mainly stay at the pathway but they are also found scattered at the lawn and other areas. It is assumed that as the park is commonly used over the years, the gravels are moved by every step of people or animals.

Colours of the sky

The sky was separated by several colours at 19:23 when the sun was just set. The front ground was completely dark which I could only see the shapes of trees and houses.

A3 – Remi Landry Yuan

Rideau Canal locks in Ottawa, mapping the change in water levels to facilitate movements of boats.
As the locks open and close, new pathways are opened for pedestrians to cross the canal.
Boats entering from the elevated end of the locks wait for water levels to adjust, lowering them down to the north of the locks.
Adjusted water levels allow boats to move through each segment, until they’ve cleared all locks.

In-class exercise drawing clouds. The value of the cube in spatializing the mappings was a key take-away.
A plan of Beaty Biodiversity Museum. This is not an analytical map, but it’s a simple record of structures, entrances, and circulation routes.
An axonometric evaluative map, communicating how the museum’s placement and signage are potentially confusing due to their relationship with Main Mall as a primary circulation route. The map also raises questions about the mysterious greenspace hidden behind the museum.
An axonometric analytic map of circulation through the museum. The relationship between the building, the underground collection, and the roof garden are shown. The experience of moving from the well-lit atrium to the dark collections is suggested in the circulation.
An evaluative plan of how the outdoor passive space (seating & greenroof) is largely unshaded. The shade from tree canopy couldn’t be shown at this scale, but their shadows are also notably cast away from the seats.

There are many approaches to drawing a cube: starting by drawing the axes, drawing the outline in a single stroke, drawing each face individually…
Lineweight, shading, and hatches helps to communicate depth. Leaving faint guidelines also helps communicate dimensionality.
Drawing household objects is a different exercise from drawing spaces. The scale and level of detail is different. I found using a bounding cube as a guide to draw curved objects (like the wireless mouse) an interesting and helpful process.
Attempting to understand the space outside Beaty Biodiversity Museum using drawing. Diagramming the space as a series of cubes helped think more abstractly about how things come together.
(I ended up developing this further in the Assignment 3 mapping exercise, but completed this drawing before the mapping lecture)
