do you wonder sometimes what kind of
diagrams to show for your site analysis
or how to show them a diagram that is
clear and understandable and Mahmoud's
aware and this is the insider's pro
guide on how to architect and how to
design on this channel we do hug that
your scales rendering design processes
in this video I will guide you through a
major access diagram that I did for a
project I'm still working on if you're a
regular watcher welcome back and if

on any videos on this channel first
thing I did was to get a line drawing
for the whole site which I got from a
website called Dejima if you want to
know how to get line drawings surviving
architecture did a video which I will
have linked a description down below
since all I need is bloodlines I
selected the hole size went to the layer
menu and turned it black I also needed a
plan so the quickest thing to do is to
go to Google Maps and use a snipping
tool and copy then we go to photoshop
and we open an a3 document now the most
annoying thing was to align both sides
and image since they were on different
scale it was a pain in the ass to make
it fit the reason for the site analysis
is to show the major transport routes
from the bus and train station since
those are the major public transport and
it's to show how easy it is to go to the
site from surrounding areas
I then used a thick red line as thick as
the road and went over the major roads
to make sure your dotted lines are all
equal I went to the brush properties and
change the scale to create these
decoders
to make the site more central and moved
all the layers and rotated it with
integrity after realizing that the
render was too narrow how to make it
larger
[Music]
and then highlighted the roads using the
polygonal lasso tool I right-click and
click on select inverse and deleted
delay other duplicated as I will need it
later to show these major notes around
the side I created a funnel type shape
to show how the nodes radiate from the
roads towards the attraction
[Music]
to create a more interesting background
from the real map I used the square
brush to make an interesting background
around the main road
I then selected the squares of as I did
them on a new layer and moved a
selection to duplicate layer and collect
remove and it gave me something like
this
now the balance between the plan and
side plan is too much so I will erase
some of the unimportant features keeping
the important stress canals rayline's
major attractions and big housing blocks
[Music]
to keep the continuity in colors I have
marked the gateways of these nodes in
red and added a white square just to
make them stand out a little bit more I
then added a drop shadow just to give
more hierarchy to the actual road
I then added the dotted lines again
which I would use to put the name of the
spaces on the Eric's
I then open Google Earth as they give
you the exact location for the bus stops
so I opened both side-by-side come up
with the orange square using the
scrubbers to show them and then created
a stroke and this is the final diagram
and this is how it looks on a larger
site analysis poster which I showed
previously in my previous video
