Exp 2 - Week 1

Aspects of a real site to measure:
-geometry
-materiality
-light
-sound
-interaction

List of methods of measuring Town Hall Station:
-Photos – Tile & brick dimensions
- Scale (by taking a photo with a person in it so you can compare height)
-Tape recorder – keep track of level and types of sound at certain times throughout the day in different areas of the station
-Video camera – Footage to show interaction of people through the station in different areas and different times of the day.
-Research – Searching on the internet for sources
-Documentation – Going to the City Council and Cityrail to see if they have any plans to work off
-Ultrasound – Used for accurate layout of geometry
-Laser tape measure/ tape measure – Measure distances for layout
-Observation – can be used to measure all aspects of the site


After looking through the list and looking at the effectiveness and accessibility of all the methods we came up with, I narrowed my list down to a combination of a few of these methods. I crossed off using an ultrasound to create an accurate layout of the geometry of Town Hall station because I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get my hands on one. Similarly, laser tape measure was cut off the list for the same reason while a normal tape measure would be too difficult to use around a busy station with lots of people constantly moving through it all through the day. I also cut a tape recorder & video camera from the list because I wasn’t too sure if the general public would want to be recorded. This leaves taking photos, research, documentation and observation as the methods I’ll be using to measure Town Hall Station.
