It was very difficult to read the writings on site and the ideas about what the site is and how it should be considered when designing spaces on a particular site. I believe that understanding why an architect is needed and how to solve site issues at a deeper level takes much more education along with experience than I have right now. I think that it's mostly uninteresting because it's much harder to understand than the other topics we have read about.
Each architect deals with each project and site differently depending on the concept and goals of the project. How the architect handles this could, in fact, be determined by one key fact: whether or not he/she actually physically visited the site. During Architecture 225 studio, we had an opportunity to visit the location of our 3 projects for the Winter Quarter. Having the chance to visit the site allows you to become more involved at much deeper of a level than just looking at site measurements on paper like every other project we have done.
I think that it should be a top priority to visit the site. I had many key aspects from each of my projects that enhanced the design only because I had the opportunity to feel the environment and see the details that came along with the site. Materials were also affected once I had a visit to the site. I feel like this opportunity opened many more doors to a better project.
