This publication, along with Site Analysis and Building Meaning, all by Prof. White, looks at how to most effectively answer the question of what to design, of what issues the design should resolve, of establishing the point of a design. This one addresses how to look for and find design cues in a program, in the behaviors and cultures of its users. Failing to do this results in some catastrophic results, as happened with too many twentieth century buildings and urban designs. The ideas this book contains for alternative ways to graphically communicate site cues are incredibly valuable. While pretty much all graphic work is now done digitally, unlike when this book was first published, the ideas here are great inspirations regardless of whether one is communicating with a pencil and paper, a stylus and touchscreen, or whatever the future holds. Designers will always need to know what to look for and how to see. And the newer technologies may still not be as effective as manual sketching when it comes to internalizing site cues, to feeding critical ideas into the subconscious, from which they will inform the designer’s work and raise the odds that it will be effective and relevant.
