Analysing method1. Relation between movement and formof the road2. OrientationTwo parts:To be recorded with a system of symbolsPhotographs and film are not suitedto communicate about a sequence58Analysing methodThe disadvantages of photographs and film (or so called 'realistic' representations ingeneral).Recording highway sequences with a camera has the advantage that it is recognizableand detailed. The disadvantage is that this way of recording does not highlight theessence of sequences and that it is difficult, if not impossible, to communicate aboutthe sequences. A third disadvantage is that it is almost impossible to bridge the gapbetween a series of recorded images and design. In a design process there hás to bea conceptual level, without it design is impossible.Therefore a technique has to be developed to communicate about the sequences.because the technique is about the essence of the design it has to be twodimensional.Appleyard an associates introduce an elaborate and fairly complicatednotation system. This is based on their theory about the highway experience.The notation system distinguishes between the two main aspects of the theory:1. The experience of movement via the changing spatial form and the way it is visible(lighting is also taken into account).2. Orientation58
