On my third blog post, I mentioned the concept of layering and I decided to create a site representation utilizing it.  Below are images of a model that represent alternative modes of transportation besides the automobile, that people are able to take.  Key for understanding the site interpretation:  bottom white layer = site location, blue = walking/bike paths, green = bus stop locations, and ivory = light rail stop locations.  As one analyzes the model, they will see how each mode of transportation is on its own layer, but will overall give the sense that there seems to be a cluster around the site.  In order to get the full sense of how they overlap, one can look at the back of the model and see how the shadows of each layer begin to intertwine around the site.
