STAGE 3 - ESSAY
The purpose of Stage 3 is to increase the viewers
contact with the site.
This
"widening of the aperture"
is
now accomplished by focusing on the sites' dimensionality
or the intrinsic dimensions of the site, and producing a
conceptual sketch of the site. The purpose is not to create
an actual drawing of the site --
it is to increase contact
by focusing on the dimensional aspects of the site and
objectifying these via sketches.
Conceptual sketch qualities:
1). Diagonals (any line between two points)
2). Verticals
3). Horizontals (you must know where the horizon
is to describe or draw this)
4). Mass
5). Space
6). Volume
7). Motion
(this is not technically correct - it
is really just a sort of sub-catregory).
Each of these "qualities" are illustrated by the
viewer in the form of sketches. Each time the sketch is
* not a requirement
changed a new sheet of paper is used. The sketches made by
the viewer can come about by one of four methods.
1). Spontaneous
sketch
2).
Analytical
sketch
3). A Tracker
4). AOL sketch (Try not to inculcate this)
A "tracker" is another form of sketching the site.
This
technique uses the ANS to direct or allow the brain to
lock onto the site and generate an outline of the site.
This technique can be considered to be somewhere between a
spontaneous sketch and a drawing.
Analytical sketches are a detachment (in theory) from
the signal line
..... -...
the information is derived through
analysis of existing signal line information and is created
in part by dialogue between the monitor and the viewer. The
technique of analytical sketching utilizes information
dived into three categories; primary, secondary and
tertiary.
The Primary list is Stage 1 information
..... ...
it takes
the motion of the "A" portion o
the ideogram

the motion of the "A" portion of the ideogram and uses it
as an interpretation of the site.
The secondary list information is derived from Stage 2
listings e.g., vertical, high, tall, thin, wide, open etc.
The viewer should list again anything found twice in the
Stage 2 list.
The tertiary characteristics are those descriptions
which help to analytically determine what the site might
look like, e.g., gray, glassy, smooth, polished.
Using these categories of information the monitor and
the viewer will work to develop a sketch of the site. One
critical fact is that if the viewer includes in his sketch
a shape that is not listed
.... ....
you can safely conclude that
the sketch is erroneous.
Mobility when used in Stage 3 refers to the movement
of the viewer in relation to the site
it does not refer
to perceived movement at the site e.g., cars, machines etc.
Movement at the site is called motion.
AOL Matching - this is when AOL closely matches the
site e.g., AOL of a rocket when the site is actually the
Washington monument.
** Types or indicators of AOL Drive:
AOL Ratchetting - this is when the viewer's AOL works
it's way in to repeated descriptions of the site. To use
the Washington Monument again -- the viewer may perceive a
rocket and then begin describing the motors, the fins, the
launch pad.
Sanne Jol
AOL Peacocking - this is when the viewers AOL hops
each Subsequent
from on AOL to the other never resting on the actual
site
C. g. , a car, a plane, a house, a man.
" for is suggested by
the preceding AOL
Signal Line ending in darkness
this is where the
viewer drops off the signal
line indicating that what the
Viewer was perceiving was AOL.
Peculiar participation
this lets the viewer know
that he is in AOL because he receives his personal
idiosyncratic indicators of AOL.
Causes of AOL Drive:
1). Undeclared AOL

Movement Exercises - Movement exercises are conducted
via prompting from the monitor. These movement follow one
of two patterns; either from the present location the
viewer is given a distance and direction to move or the
viewer is given a move from --
to command. The verbal
mechanics are as follows:
1). Montior to viewer -- "prepare to move"
2). Monitor to viewer
"From"
. "move 1.2
not used.
word move is
kilometers to the north
". there, something may be seen".
** Note
that the use of words (passive voice)
was
chosen so as not to cause
the viewer to believe that there
must be something located
at the site at the end of the
movement (causing AOL) .
DM
1. Prepare for a movernement ( or words to that efect )
2. "Acquire the site"- (viewer gives loving descriptor)
Site to insure acquisition)
3. 1.2 km to the Houth, something should
be visible (hearable, smellable, tasteable. whatever)
