2.2.3 SITE

A site in a spatial context has a strong influence on the attribute of graphics that can be placed there.

It relies on what existing surfaces or elements can serve as a base for the installation of graphics. The elements are broadly classifiable as roofs, walls, doors, windows, columns, stairs, and floors by Yatin Pandya in his book the elements of space-making. In his book, he also says that these elements hold potential for expression which influences space and its experience thereby orchestrating the perception of the built environment. Therefore, graphics can become ancillary to understanding the site or spatial attributes by giving an expression to contextual, cultural, and regional conditioning.
