W4_Site Matters

This reading is a reminder to be looking at a site at different scales while analyzing its many attributes, both physical and nonphysical through a variety of representation techniques rather than reproduction techniques. It seems so easy to zone into the specifics of a location, but there are many other factors that interact with the chosen site to be looking at. As Kahn talks about looking at the site for different things at a variety of scales, it is easy to notice an overlapping nature of information on sites. It creates a location with no definite boundaries.. it makes sense that relationships of a specific location doesn’t diminish along a given line on a map and I appreciate the idea that a site has a fluid motion linking it to its surroundings. The idea that there is connectivity through the porous nature of the site edges and layering of information allows for more influence by a site rather than closing it off.
